Generation problem child: He/Ro rock the needs of young people!
The brothers Heiko and Roman Lochmann, known as the pop duo He/Ro, have caused a stir in the music world with their new album “No Reason to Panic”. In it they address the concerns and challenges of Generation Z, which is under the pressure of social expectations. In a conversation with the German Press Agency, Heiko said that the young generation is often influenced by their older people and social media: "You feel pressure, sometimes from other generations or through social media, to decide what you will do for the next 20 years and where you will go in life." The musicians also deal with the generational conflict between their age group and the boomers and found words for these tensions in their song “Generation Sorgekind”. Small newspaper reported.
Social criticism meets rock music
The album cover depicts a burning house and reflects the difficult circumstances facing Gen Z, including wars, climate crises and a divided society. Heiko Lochmann added that it is not about condemning the older generation, but about the weight of the past 30 years that rests on the shoulders of the young. The songs oscillate between hope and conflict and address important social issues, including bullying, which has personally affected the brothers since their youth. Her powerful single “Bluten” addresses the damaging effects of bullying and the emotions that come with it, from sadness to anger Wikipedia notes.
He/Ro emerged from the beginning as Die Lochis, a YouTube channel the brothers founded in 2011. There they first published parodies and song translations before releasing their own songs. Today, with over 700,000 subscribers on TikTok, they have successfully developed a mature fan base. Roman remembers: “Today it’s nostalgia for us too,” while Heiko emphasizes that they now live in peace with their old selves. The album “No Reason to Panic” not only reflects her musical development, but also her personal journey through painful topics and the pressure of youth culture.
