ZEF = a South African counter-culture movement.
Die Antwoord (Afrikaans for "The Answer") is a South African rap-rave group
whose style draws from the Zef counter-culture movement
"It's associated with people who soup their cars up and rock gold and shit. Zef is, you're poor but you're fancy. You're poor but you're sexy, you've got style." ( Yolandi Visser )
"It's kind of like posh, but the opposite of posh." ( Jack Parow )
Their lyrics are performed in Afrikaans, Xhosa, and English.
ZEF stems from an Afrikaans word,
which roughly translates to the English word "common".
It iss a contraction of the name of the Ford Zephyr, a motorcar,
popular worldwide from the 1950s to the 1970s in South Africa.
