So...what's your thoughts on Gangnam style?

[Erttheking]

In case you're wondering what Gangnam style is, THIS is Gangnam style. I warn you, it is very...odd.

It's basically a South Korean music video that hasn't been up for even a year but has managed to get over 300,000,000 views on youtube. It's catchy as Hell, I can't deny that but...it certainly is rather odd. So...what do you think about it?

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

It's catchy, its got its sparse English quotes, and that's all I got to say. It's too long for a gag like that, I still won't be able to understand 70% of the lyrics, and the video's pretty irrelevant.

Still, shit's catchy.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

I think it's swag as hell

It's swaggier than Swagneto, the Master of Swagnetism.

 

[C F]

Catchy, but it's not something I'd listen to on a regular basis. It's just another memetic fad of the internet.

Still, it's amusing, and I'll admit it has resulted in a video that I found to be pretty hilarious.

Spoiler: Deadpool vs. Gangnam Style

I find it wonderfully catchy and extremely hilarious.

The way the guy pronounces all the words is just inherently funny.

 

[Revnak_v1legacy]

Its grown on me.

When I first heard it I hated it, but after hearing it a few times, I really like it. Very catchy. Good "wtf is going on" music video too.

Spoiler: This is still better though. Please don't hate me.

I will never look at mannequins the same again.

 

[Able Seacat]

I think the dance moves are brilliant. Catchy song too.

Spoiler: This gif timeline pretty much sums up my entire thought process of watching Gangnam Style

I was extremely confused, even more confused, and then decided to accept it and then it was over and I wanted more. Very interesting song, to say the least.

Well, Hyuna (the redhead in the video near the end) is pretty much the first Asian woman I ever found truly attractive. It's also crazy catchy and the dance... oh the DANCE!

 

[AetherWolf]

I first saw it within the week of it's release. I found the video unbelievably awesome at first, but like with many internet fads it quickly became overused.

Now I patiently wait for the hype of it to die down whilst I hear the song shoehorned into unrelated things for the thousandth time.

 

[Zhukov]

I feel like I am not getting the joke.

Like it's a parody of something I've never seen.

 

[Palademon]

I like it, but it has already been played too much at my university.

 

[Jumplion]

I like it, but it's really been overplayed. The song is going on the radio stations here. Really, if the song was sung in english, nobody would have given a crap about it and just dismiss it as another "party" or "rich guy bragging about rich things" song (whether the lyrics are actually like that or not).

I guess it's just my hipster "too mainstream now" side that's popping up now .

Still a good song to play when I want to feel damn sexy.

 

[WinkyTheGreat]

The song is extraordinary catchy and the dance moves are easy enough that even someone as thoroughly Caucasian as myself can do them. I like it.

 

[That_Sneaky_Camper]

I think it is actually pretty cool.

 

[Corven]

I've pretty much thought of it as this generations macarena.

I like the song, I think its catchy and silly but i know that it will get old fast.

This [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QBDW5aqcAk&feature=player_embedded] is the only good thing to ever come out of that.

Other than that I generally use it as a trigger to tune out of conversations; the minute someone mentions it things tend to go downhill.
So yeah, I don't get it. Makes for some amusing gifs, but I can't really think of a lot of contexts where they would be genuinely funny.

 

[The_Echo]

I kind of really like this song. KPop is just kind of good by default. Better than American pop, at any rate.

(Though... I'm also one of the few who genuinely liked Double Take's "Hot Problems [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__HeE6NWmDE]," so take my opinion as you will.)

Plus, with the creation of a popular song comes awesome mashups. Like this:
