In the past couple days I watched a Neil young documentary and a Dr Dre documentary I was surprised to see both were influenced by kraftwerk. Dr. Dre more than Neil young.
I am almost forty and I am surprised I have not heard of kraftwerk until now.
May I ask where did you grow up? Maybe your radio stations didn't play their music.
I am only a few years older than you and I heard of Kraftwerk in my teens!
They were the pioneers of electronica / new wave music in the 1970's.

Kraftwerk influence is in all forms of electronic music, pop, rap,house,rock,alternative,etc...
Those two song, numbers and trans europe express will move any dancefloor today!
Programmed electronic music, the name of the game, even marvin gayes last album used drumm programming,
Miami bass sound, sample based rap music, current edm, even reggae/dance hall .
I can go on, but im going on youtube right now and take in some classic!
My first Kraftwerk album (on 8 track tape) was The Man Machine. Got me hooked on two songs, Neon Lights and Metropolitan. The Model was quite good too.
Have you seen them live? I would love to see a Kraftwerk concert!
They did a concert, not so long ago, in a city quite near me (Bristol, England). But it was almost impossible to get tickets. It got sold out online, and people queued around the venue, trying to get tickets - and the majority couldn’t get any.
I daresay, Kraftwerk ultimately has influenced more musicians than the Beatles. Right up there with the Velvet Underground.
Kraftwerk, Brian Eno and Malcolm McLaren were each more influential than the Beatles.
