Die Antwoord: Fatty Boom Boom

Watched Die Antwoord’s ’Fatty Boom Boom’ at some point and the thing about it is they just didn’t care. The video’s crude, sexual, deliberately offensive—everything you’re not supposed to make mainstream music about. And that lack of concern, that complete refusal to perform politeness or apologize, that’s what stuck with me. The shock value burns out pretty fast, but the shamelessness underneath doesn’t. They made something ugly and owned it.
