can someone explain them to me? I have never clicked or heard a thing they were involved with. am I missing something? is it real music? is it a joke? am I close minded?

I don't hate them that much. I hate the hype around them.

are they musically talented? I saw a description once that said "rave-rap" and I never looked twice.

just think about Aqua - Barbie Girl. Now imagine them trying to be tough and gangsta. You now have die Antwoord.

I like them a lot... they just seem to be having fun. Wish more people had that much fun with their music.

i just don't like how everyone clamors to these hype bands becasue there's a soundbyte, and all of a sudden they're on every high profile outlet like dazed and confused praising them while there are plenty of other really talented people who tries really hard but no one cares.

I don't think they're getting blown out of proportion.... it's not like their doing headlining tours around the world or something.
They've tried other fun gimmiks and this worked for them. From what I've read and interviews with them, they seem to just like doing art and having fun.This is also them from before Antwoord:

they're not doing headline tours cus their music is more joky in nature, I guess. But pick up every high profile magazine and they all talk about them. I guess it's better than writing about vampire weekend, but there are plenty other bands doing genuine, well produced music that deserves publicity. Why do i need to read about this clown music 80000 times?

They've mastered the art of self-promotion

OK. So I didn't hate the beats. So they're like a British Gummo crew? haha.
I guess if I can enjoy Das Racist then I should give these guys a chance. Seems like they're doing the same thing out in Europe. Just having fun talking shit and using obscure and odd references.

i'm not happy about how many so-called music appreciators complain about music on the internet. frankie says relax, just put a smile on your face and enjoy the silence.

and music aside these folks are real wheelchair gangsters...
