Die Antwoord Is “Fake,” And So What? - Backlashes - Videogum
I am just saying: let us not turn our backs on Die Antwoord. Not now. I’m sure for some reason everyone would have liked it better if they were actually borderline mentally-retarded Poor Children from Ghettos covered in Generic Cheetoes Dust and Meth Crumbs or whatever, but none of these new revelations makes what they are doing any less great.
There were certainly signs that they were “fake”, but I chose to ignore them. Who cares? I’m actually even more intrigued now.
Die Antwoord is unstoppable. Just trying to stop them from giving a full performance just because they’re stuck in a van.
Still obsessed with Die Antwoord.

Remarkable. There’s a fine line between stupid and clever and I’m not quite sure which side Die Antwoord is on. I don’t want to be sure. I just know that I’ve spent the last 30 minutes devouring everything I can find about them and I want more.
UPDATE: I’ve decided that they’re clever. I’m so going to buy this record.
