I attended a braai with two other couples last weekend. Really cool, intelligent people, mature, good jobs - the whole nine yards. Was astonished that they spend one hour of the evening playing Die Antwoord videos. The one guy is in the film industry, the other's an accountant. All present were English speaking. So there's defintely something happening with this band, who seem to have a diverse market.

I think its interesting how earlier it was mentioned that Die Antwoord's fans are probably not the most musically conscious.
I would differ, if at all I would say that they have the same amount of admiration from musician and non musician, same as Metallica. I dont quite know what the original assumption was based on?
There would be people like myself and Dave Grohl to count into the mix... http://grungereport.net/?p=411

They've generated 10 pages of commentary.
So far.

I don't like them, but then I seldom like "new" music anyways. Give me a proper instrument based act, some tunes I can whistle and lyrics I can sing to myself in the car and I am happy. But people differ in their tastes and preferences.
When I drive past the site of a big accident I will slow down a bit to get past safely, wave thank you at the traffic cop as I pass him and then drive on, maybe glancing back in the mirrors once or twice and hoping everybody came out of it safely. Other folks will flock around the scene, eager to get a glimpse of the wreckage and paramedics at work - first prize being a corpse or some body parts strewn across the road. Different strokes for different folks.

Don't know if this has been posted before, but was actually pretty good... ??? and I guess this is what we all were looking for since 'Die Antwoord' showed up ?

I started a thread once that generated way more 10 pages of commentary, not necessarily a big deal as most of it was bullshit anyways....

They are playing Lollapalooza this year...as are the mighty Black Sabbath!

newest video ..i just gotta chuckle

deefstes

Ugh. More of this schlock ???

That video is.. original at least. Can't believe they went that far in how disgusting it is.

But I mean, we wrote almost 11 pages about Die Antwoord. THIS IS HOW THEY GET PUBLICITY

You say that as if it is something to be admired? How difficult can it be to come up with something "original"? Let's try, shall we?

Scene opens where an obese version of Queen Elizabeth reclines in a bath filled with avocado pulp. Alongside the bath there's a hobo sitting on a rocking horse touching himself as inappropriately as your video distribution channel will allow. Scene cuts to a bright white room that's completely empty except for a smartly dressed businessman doubled over a potplant and vomiting into it. Camera zooms in to reveal that the plant is in fact a baby that is burried up to the neck. All the while, play some heavy beats over this and suitably vulgar rap.

There, "original" enough for you?

Dude, seriously? Lets just chill.

I wasn't asking for a 101 on originality. I'm not favoring Die Antwoord at all. But you can't deny they have been getting a lot of publicity for their inappropriate videos (not that I favor it). "Original" in the sense that it's not just another live performance video.

I think it was last year (maybe 2010) they won the best Myspace music video award in the world, competing against other similar acts such as Lady Gaga. This was for they're first "hit" song.

Again, I don't like they're music, I don't like they're style. I'm just saying they are intentionally being so weird, because it's what made them successful. Not that I'm gonna go follow they're methods, just pointing it out. They are a lot smarter than most people think.

It's all nothing new, really...Screamin' Jay Hawkins did it in the late 50's, Arthur Brown did it in the late 60's, Alice Cooper in the 70's, GWAR did it in the 80's and Marilyn Manson was the poster child of this kind of thing for the 90's. Only difference is all of these acts had freakin' awesome music to back it up with. Die Antwoord: not so much. ?

What are you trying to convince me of? That they're successful? I never denied that. That their methods are effective? I never denied that either. All I'm saying is that I think it's crap and I don't value their "originality" in any way. To me there are other things that I want to see & hear in music videos before I consider it to be worth something (I'm not even talking about good yet) but simply going straight for the disturbed factor is not enough.

seriously, who could enjoy listening to that??
