The song is extremely catchy and gets stuck in your head very easily -_-

Whether or not it's actually a good song (I don't think it is), it's entertaining at the very least.

I love the song because of what it actually means, and what the rest of his songs are mean't for. It's a really fun and energetic song that gets you moving. And he seemed to enjoy making the video.

Lucky for you. It actually is a "good" song. Layered, satirical, unapologetic, wild... all pushed forward by Psy's boring mug.

It's like asking if the macarena was even that good. It's catchy, it have a fun video with a easy to pick up choreography and it's a mix of english and foreign language. That's all you need for a song to go viral. Wheter or not it's actually "good" is sort of beside the point.

It is a great song. I also get to be hipster with it and say I liked it before it was popular when the video had like under a million views. I actually heard it on the radio today when I was driving to the bank

Hay sexy lady.

I think popularity has to do with the MV. The actual song is ehh, but the MV is pretty damn good.
God Bless

While the song is fun and catchy, I read a post that explains its deeper meaning. As an example, the song can be compared to Eminem's "Without Me": A catchy tune + criticism on society.

It's not like previous post didn't have explanations, but I just found this post much easier to read and much more convincing.


It's mockery about people embracing their rich livestyle a bit too much,

So many people will just hop on bandwagon, but some genuinely like the song and video etc, its best to just see how it is popularity wise in 6 months.

It will probably blow over like all that Kony stuff, i bet 95% of the people who signed up didnt even do the event. I know my GF didnt, even though she was all crazy running around handing out fliers and doing a speech in front of her entire school, but in a few months time, bandwagon stuff conveniently doesnt exist any more. Everyone was "Busy". Give it time.

Gangnam Style is popular because the video features an unapologetic male lead who doesn't give a fuck about what others think about him.


This is also true, and awesome, a good role model

It's catchy
It's fun
It's cool
It's what's hip right now

IT'S GANGNAM STYLE

(and you either like it or you don't. But if you don't, then you get flamed. So you follow the crowd and celebrate with others)

Best Korean music I've heard
. San E's got some decent tracks too. It's cool that the Korean music is starting to spill out even if it's a bad song to start with, it's gives people a taste, and a successful follow up should be easily doable. Give this dude props, he's expanding an industry.

I caught it at close to a 100 mil.

I was like, "what the fuck? how can that be?".

Next time I came back to it, that figure jumped by the equivalent of oh.... the population of Britain.

This. K-Pop music is the definition of trendy nonsense, but it's catchy to the listeners. A lot of music falls into this category nowadays, but it's not necessarily bad. In fact, I prefer such type of music if I'm trying to party to it (well, not kpop, but music with really no meaning to it, but it just has a fun beat or something).

Gangnam Style is more so funny and amusing than it is catchy, which is why it's caught on to more mainstream. It's not for the quality of music itself.

Obviously, like so many of us, I've been seeing Gangnam style for a bit now...but today, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I heard Gangnam style come on the radio. I was shocked. Yet I rocked out.

I can't be bothered to read the entire OP (got have way through before I called TROLL on this one) or the thread. I am going to go under the impression that no one mentioned that the OP's user name is "Gangnam Style" and he joined TL.net a month after the song was released. I would call this one very long elaborate troll and being are discussing this like it means something.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is all I can read into this.
