EPTReally? I was always under the impression that it was watched for the women since that is the closest thing to porn Korean women can participate in.

I think analysis would be a waste of time. If we could truly deconstruct the basis of every hit (and not just with generic blanket statements such as "catchy" and "prone to popularity" whatnot), then there would be hit after hit. | ||

It's catchy, its popular because it went viral (thanks to the video). It was also in the right place at the right time (korean culture getting more and more accepted in the West. Pretty easy to understand actually, and no it is not overrated. If people called it a masterpiece, sure, but they aren't. It's a catchy pop song with a great dance and funny video, and that's all anyone really says about it. Popular does not mean overrated. | ||

He raised an interesting OP, wondering why this was the big crossover hit, when there's a lot of other K-pop of similar style out there. Don't see why that discussion can't be continued without making suchcomments at the OP. An example, people over here especially in my workplace, the only topic of conversation, especially on a Monday is football. If you're not privvy to this, you don't get as much in the way of social interaction as if you would otherwise. Hence there are a lot more 'fans' of football, and it's only upon deeper convos that you can differentiate people who actually like it, from those who put forth a pretense. I'd imagine it's this kind of thing the OP has in mind, and it's worth talking about as a possibility! Also gives me an excuse to link to this, always amuses me | ||

Create an account name and make a thread about account name. And in that thread you attempt to bash whatever you based your account name off of. | ||

His crazy fucking dance when he goes left to right looks dumb as hell but it's so funny XD True, that effect is close to unbearable when it's used in the over-the-top manner it is nowadays. The one thing in music I just cannot understand how people tolerate it | ||

The singer is just silly and awesome; his goofy music video and the absurd dance are what make the song so great. Also, I like songs in languages that I don't understand haha | ||
