I I I I am your butterfly

Their music isn't really my thing, I'll admit it's catchy, just too edgy for me. But I have to be honest here: I loved them in Chappie. LOVED them. 

[AstralSoul | 502]

What is this? 0/10 for me. 

[JamesRobot | 5,786]

I got 6 on it.  Not really my fing but I fink they freaky.  I'd see em live if someone bought my ticket. 

[Gloves | 11,761]

3. I like similar music but I do not like them. 

[themisfit138 | 523]

Nope. 0/10.

[Hammerfestus | 3,823]

So this is what Dutch meth heads do with their free time?

[cartman | 195]

Absolute garbage. Pretentious, useless, dicksucking garbage.

[captmorgandrinker | 1,649]

The Teletubbies "I Fink U Freeky" is an absolute classic.  Tossed 'em a 4.

[SuperJimtendo | 1,116]

Chappy has fears! 

 

They get a vote because of the movie.

[Skorp | 383]

HAHA seriously how did you find this?!?! Wow. Lost for words right now. Meh, rather listen to this than other stuff so 1/10 from me.

South African meth heads.

Their videos are more entertaining than the music.

[Sumez | 2,933]

Was this the "electronica duo"?

As I see it, Die Antword is a comedy duo that gains a lot of fans based on their "edgy" attitude and style, but the music itself fluctuates between bad pop music and just terrible, unlistenable hip hop.

I really like weird, artsy and edgy music that challenges your perception of what music can be, but this isn't it. It just pretends it is.

Didn't they sample Streets of Rage 2 in one of their tracks? I seem to remember that. And by "sample" I mean straight up just rap on top of a SOR2 track.

Ah yes, found it:

 

[zombiemicrowave | 42]

Well. It's better than last week. Not for me. I can see why some people might like it. I guess. lol.

 

2/10

[Bearcat-Doug | 5,104]

This is slightly better than the last band, but still awful. 1/10.

[DefaultGen | 5,400]

4/10, just plain good meth music. This is objectively better than the last weirdos we had.

[Reed Rothchild | 9,510]

(full disclosure - the remaining picks were gonna be Insane Clown Posse, Luke Bryan, and Asking Alexandria, but I feel like people want some more popular selections to change it up)

[Abelardo | 154]

I'd take a good freak show like Die Antwoord over most of what gets played on the radio these days, also I've been told they put on a great show live, sure they're way over the top but that's the point, their videos make me chuckle.

Not sure what I expected after the last few, but not this lol

Also probably not gonna listen to whatever they did to a SoR2 track, I love that game too much to subject myself to w/e that is

Maybe just... put the actual artist's/band's name in the voting?

1/10 just because While I don't care nor will ever listen to it again, I don't hate it enough to cheese grater my face lol

We've done that before.  I like surprises.

[Quest4Nes | 376]

2/10

They get a 2 for atleast being interesting. Still pretty rough. Someone needs to tell that girl that haircut is gross and doesnt even work in a "look at me im different weird cool" kind of way. Its pretty repulsive
