De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig Essentials
If De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig (The Youth of Today) represent their generation, then the world is about to get much more entertaining. The Dutch four-piece splice together tongue-in-cheek hip-hop and hardcore house in a stylish shakedown of feel-good music and edgy beats, blazing a trail for fellow genre-busters LMFAO and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Chance meetings backstage at Dutch TV show Idols led to the band's formation and chart-topping debut Watskeburt (Wassup?) in 2005—and with a loyal following packing out euphoric live shows, the jokes aren't getting old.
