Through repeated exposure they've grown on me a lot because of their weird over the top trashy personas and videos. At first, though, really grating and annoying. I have no idea what this forum think of them.

I don't understand what they are, but I always see the girl in pictures and keep forgetting where she's from.

FFs. Currently my favorite musical group. But I agree with the sentiment that to enjoy Die Antwoord, one must have an acquired taste for them.

It took me a little while to unwrap what all was going on with their style, lyrics, and videos - probably since the style isn't something I go for most of the time. A lot of it is of course just to screw around, be outrageous, and parody expectations, but there's more there if you can bother looking for it, and I like that a lot. I saw them last month here and it was a fun show, barring one inexplicable 45 year old man with BO on ecstasy blocking the view by waving his arms around like he just didn't care.

Not at all.  I hate most rap but I find their songs to be instantly entertaining.  Certainly they are loads more creative than your average hip-hop troupe.

I like the idea of Die Antwoord significantly more than I actually like Die Antwoord.

Leaving aside the question of the quality of Die Antwoord's music, saying something like this is clear evidence that the speaker has never made any effort to understand hip-hop.

Why would I put effort into understanding a genre that has instantly irritated me 99% of the time?  That's like trying to be best friends with someone that irritates you.

Just because a band puts out there that they're weird and interesting doesn't mean they are.

I love their seamless transition between Afrikaans and English lyrics.

Yes, you've made your total lack of intellectual curiosity abundantly clear many times.

My wife went through a phase with these clowns.  I've heard it all, and some of it a LOT.  I like raunchy humor and raunchy music, but I hated this.  It's just noise.

She's since gone on to pop music like Taylor Swift and other sh**t aimed at 13 year old girls....I'd prefer the morons from South Africa.  We've never really seen eye to eye on music, but at least when we met she was listening to StaticX and Disturbed and such, not my cup of tea, but at least it was rockin.

Find something better to do than worry about how I spend my leisure time, ass.
