It's going to be an odd day when they do. [/quote] Oh yeah and I forgot! There were remakes made of this too. Are they going to put the video online?=o What makes me laugh is that many Asian artists tried to debut in the US (BoA, Wonder Girls, Se7en, Hikaru Utada, SNSD) but barely got attention, and then there's PSY. It's just a bit unfortunate that people know him now by what is probably his "worst" song. But I'm happy for him.^^ He's known as a joke, but it's actually a bigger step than what all those surgery-perfect-synchronized oppas/unnis tried to do.

gimmepie Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I don't know why but I can't help but love this song, and I usually prefer more alternative music so that's something. It's just ridiculously catchy and the music video is hilarious. It's from his 6xth album for memory which makes me really want to hear the others, especially since the first two were apparently very controversial.

CinnamonStar Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 No, it's fine.^^ Nothing's broken, but I remembered that this thread existed and the majority of the talk had already been going on here. I'm expecting more topics to come up, with how popular it is and all.

[/quote] The funny thing is, he's actually a legit, respected artist in Korea. Even though people mostly know him because of Gangnam Style, he got 6 mini-albums out so far (even a full one, I think) and participated in most of the songs, usually in the production or composing.

Tentacruel Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I just noticed something. Most of the mainstream media in the states, and a lot of your average people, are not aware that the music video is satirical in nature. People are actually doing [i]parodies. [/i]It's like trying to make fun of Weird Al Yankovich. The song is very self-aware, but a lot of the mainstream reaction to it is, "Oh dem silly Asians."

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Aside from all the kpop fans going crazy about everyone listening to this and being like "YOU'RE NOT A KPOP FAN THIS DOESN'T COUNT BLAH BLAH BLAH", this song is honestly super catchy and just amazingly entertaining. Great party song too, which foreign songs never usually get into over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CinnamonStar Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yeah, some K-Pop fans tend to lose their stuff. Guise, no one pretended to 'steal' your holy hipster niche, they're just a fan of Gangnam Style, ok? Also, he won an Europe Music Award for best video and had a performance about 2 hours away from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 This will forever be the song that opened the doors to the magic of K-Pop for me, no matter how mainstream it may be. Hell, songs that get this popular tend to get old and overused, yet I never get tired of this one. But yeah, if it weren't for PSY, I would have never found out who Hyuna was, hence would never have found 4minute, hence would never have grown so fond of Korean pop in general. It's just all-around good music~. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people just shrugged and thought the song was funny, but there have been new members on K-Pop forums lately who said PSY got them into the genre. It's a good thing IMO.
