The language they sing in is Afrikaans, a language moust South Africans at least understand and therefore we are very able to judge "die Antwoord's" artistic merit, or lack thereoff. As a result they are not really all that big down here, and in many regards more famous here for their US fame than for their "novely act" status.

Given that people in the US don't even understand the lyrics, I honestly don't get their popularity there and the only reason why I guess they have much of a following has either something to do with the emperor's new clothes, or that famous quote by David Hannum regarding suckers and minutes...
