Last week, a new viral sensation 'hit the internet.' It is some rap group from South Africa, and no1 was able to tell whether or not they were 'real.' Does n e 1 know what the deal with Die Antwoord is? Not sure if they are ternative, post-TheStreets/eminem indie rap, or just some meme that was packaged by a high priced marketing firm who paid a huge tastemaker to blog about them.

Watched some rap video that was supposed to be a 'raw profile' of them. Only really feel confused. Not in a way that makes me want to 'share the video in my facebook feed and say that it is awesome', but in a way that makes me wish I had never seen it.  Wish these South African bros had never entered my realm of relevant awareness.  It seems like they got more coverage than the buzziest buzz band in the history of the world.

It seems like a zany meme that would be shared by people who say the word 'interwebs.' Can't believe the mid/early-00s design aesthetic is already 'retro-ironic.'

Feel sorta confused by Die Antwoord. I wonder if they will be the type of band that 'opens up for Kanye West/Radiohead', or if they will be more like the band Aqua who sang the hit song "Barbie Girl."

I was scared by the bro with progeria in this video, but maybe the progeria personal brand will catch on in the 2k10s.

I feel like the most captivating part of Die Antwoord is probably the broad with the progressive bangs. She is like a progressive sexual figure. Some 1 who you want to have conceptual sex with.

Hopefully Feist / Zooey Deschanel and other 'indie broads' cut their bangs into a progressive post-Tegan and Sara style.

Seems like it might all just be a joke, and Ali G is going to 'sue the fuck out of them.'  Maybe they will transition into some sort of Flight of the Conchords type of act and get a 'brilliant' HBO comedy show that showcases the lasting effects of apartheid on South Africa in a funny/insightful way.

Is there really a mass market for this type of 'rap' act?
Is South Africa the new Brooklyn?
Is this viral marketing for World Cup 2k10?

Is it even 'worth it' to 'search 4 answers' about Die Antwoord, or should we just let another meme cycle wash them away?
WTF is ternative?
What is marketing?
Should I get some progressive bangs?

Is Die Antwoord the alternative replication of Eiffel 65's "Blue"?

Or more like Aqua's "Barbie Girl"?
