My aunt's corgis are expert Parktown prawn hunters. They are constantly bringing injured ones into the house and leaving them about, and then when my aunt pokes them with a broom they move and she screams bloody murder and it's a party.  I have relatives in Johannesburg, and my family there swears they simply emerged from the sewers one day.

I don't believe sincerity requires a lifelong dedication to only one means of expression. Nor does it mean that a performance can't be just that: a performance. Obviously Die Antwoord have adopted personas that are hyper-stylized, but that doesn't mean they're facile or disingenuous. Watch any of their videos; their commitment to the performance is wildly obvious.  Pretty superficial analysis.
