Die Antwoord is a South African rave/rap band that claims to represent "Zef" culture, which is essentially a form of Afrikaans working class culture. They were part of the movie "Chappie" because its director is a fellow South African who was inspired to create that movie in part by Die Antwoord's music and artistic style.

Despite being incredibly weird, the band actually has a history of true artistic and good music (see:  MaxNormal.TV and The Constructus Corporation). They argued by acting crazy and writing insane lyrics, they would attract a far larger audience than with their former music that was popular solely in South Africa. Considering they have even performed on late night American TV shows as Die Antwoord, they were right.

Anyway, I have been quite fascinated by them for a while now and figured Atlas would be pretty shocked by their work Tongue

I've seen another video by them that iirc wasn't a music video but had some weird scenes including an old man and a chicken but I can't recall it. This video was just....strange, and I only watched a little of it.

I'm more curious what provoked you to post this lol. Maybe I needed to watch longer but I don't see anything special about this particular video, at least considering their style.

Simply curiosity regarding the reaction of Atlas posters to Die Antwoord's bizarre style. You know they at least raise some eyebrows lol
