http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/xdwq4/psy_gangnam_style_performance_at_gsl/ For the sake of esports, everyone needs to upvote this, there is no way in hell we can miss this opportunity. Since we couldn't see MC do it at the beach or anything, this is easily a worthy replacement. Seeing PSY himself do it live at the GSL is obligatory if the chance exists, so please help make this happen or you're ruining esports. | ||

Friday/Baby etc were mostly internet memes, as in they were so bad people trolled eachother by linking them (both of them have/had abysmal like percentage), whereas this is genuine great song that you pretty much never find anyone hating on with 98% likes on YT, so yes I'm fairly sure people are serious in upvoting this On July 30 2012 20:54 Gosi wrote: Ehm, how popular is this song in Korea? Because when I was watching the video on Youtube a couple of days ago it had like ~4 million views and now it's almost 8. And since it became like the National Anthem of Starcraft 2 this weekend we must have given the video alot of views. :D it's the #1 song in korea by a pretty heavy margin atm, it's more of a viral thing that you see/hear at every street corner and whatknot, I.E. it's everywhere | ||

Those people you see him dancing with in Gangnam Style...most are INSANELY popular, especially the dude in the Yellow. What's interesting is that Khaldor said the entertainment companies are looking to gauge foreign interest. Maybe they've noticed that there has been a overall rise in the amount of Kpop being consumed by none koreans and the rise of SC2 has coincided with this. I would love the Kpop stuff to be in the GSL...and Gangnam style is definitely the song to do it to. | ||

Yoo Jae Suk aka The Nation's MC. Hilarious comedian, captains a lot of variety shows, most notably Running Man. But seriously, Gangnam Style is popular. People legitimately like it, as in, not liking it to be ironic. Psy performing at a GSL-- that's big. Not sure about the time when next finals comes up, but still. Pretty big. | ||

I think emphasis was on popular, not recently, i.e. he doesn't know why it got popular at all. Either that or he feels that it is too mainstream (and that it came out a while ago) and he is being a hipster  | ||

And although YG-E is a huge company with some of the biggest stars in kpop, the kpop scene in general is much smaller than US pop(although it is growing). So you can't really compare them to Gaga, Usher, etc. Even the TOP stars (Girl's Gen, Big Bang, Super Junior) perform on weekly music shows like Music Bank, Inki, etc. Can you see Gaga, Usher doing that in US? MTV having a hourly music show and Gaga would go in once a week for 3-4 weeks to perform for 5 minutes? Kpop groups even hold guerilla performances and play at much smaller venues. GSL finals is actually pretty big in korea plus you get the international audience. The big three (SM, YG, JYP) are spending millions to try to promote their groups to foreign audiences. I am sure they would be ok to put on one performance if they knew the foreign community was interested. | ||

More like switching from pepperoni to macaroni because the new pepperoni has a different recipe or something, I think. But yeah, pretty cool to see this getting a lot of exposure. Helping to unify the fans in a way and also getting esports a lot of recognition. A lot of random plebs are seriously getting exposed to it too, so it's fantastic for esports overall that it's getting associated with gangnam style :D | ||

its not a good song, but its an entertaining song. "good" is a matter of opinion, and means different things to everyone. "entertaining" is entertaining. its still subjective but not as much. | ||

At this point it's almost certain that it will happen, or at least that the community response has been overall positive enough to encourage it to happen. Either way, arguing is pointless and this thread isn't about the quality of the song itself anyway. And yes, in music, as in all other things in existence, there is an objective measure of quality. It's just that people too often confuse quality with the extent to which they enjoy (or hate) something on a personal level. | ||

Regardless of who the artist is, what he did in creating the song, and how "good" it is, it is objectively popular right now both in this community and I assume Korea as well judging by posts in this thread. Therefore it'd be great to have him perform at a GSL event. | ||

Yes it's a shitty situation, when entertainers(Good or Bad) are making 10x as much as people saving lives or scientists. But thats not the point of this thread. This thread is about a song that I'd say the large majority of the community likes being played live at GSL. How is this a bad thing for starcraft? The song is hugely popular in Korea and can only give them good attention. Whether the song in your opinion is good or bad is completely irrelevant here. | ||

He is number 1 on the Korean charts. More media attention = more fans and more opportunities with sponsors = great for the community. Edit: plus there is no downside, and as I said the majority of the community likes the song. So even if it doesn't help in any other way, people can enjoy listening to a song they like at the finals. | ||

I've had the luck of hearing a lot of concerts from one of the best, i believe, music directors alive today, Myung Chung, from the Orchestre Philarmonique de Radio France. But korean pop music is a match made in hell between girls/boys band from the eighties and kanye west copycats. Whether it's 'good' or not is arguable and comes down to personal preference. But for the sake of e-sports, it will help. Getting an entertainer who is 1# on the Korean charts is great exposure/popularity boost. Having him performer is a great thing for e-sports. | ||

However, you're not the ultimate judge of what's "good music" and "bad music" for everyone else. Realize that people around the world have widely different preferences and that often depends a lot on their cultural backgrounds. You're calling something "a match made in hell from the eighties and kanye west copycats" because you don't like it. Mentioning Chung does not excuse you from generalizing and degrading the entire Korean pop music industry. I myself come from a classical music background and I have pretty clear likes and dislikes, but I don't go around saying "god, that country's pop music is garbage". | ||

It's totally okay to like garbage music... I find some of it catchy... but it's still garbage. | ||

Just like you enjoying this music is an opinion, me calling it garbage is an opinion too. This does go a little beyond personal opinion. I call it garbage music because it's throw-away. It will have it's week(s) in the spotlight, everyone will get sick of it, and it'll show up again years later a couple times as a 'hey, remember this?' track. If you find throwing things away to be offensive, then I suppose I've offended you. I admit to painting with an overly-broad stroke. There is some pop music with emotion, substance and creativity that does last, and becomes a 'classic.' This song isn't a good example of that though.

The same people that are poo-pooing this song and name-dropping whatever classical composer pleases them are probably the same people that think death metal isn't music and electronic music is artless and just for dancing. You don't make a good argument with broad generalizations. You should also avoid using the "don't understand" phrase. It's about as effective as '...so, umm, like...' Gangnam Style is artless, and just for dancing. Daft Punk's Tron score is musical art. Thinking one is true doesn't mean I think the other is false. If you enjoy this music, then listen to it. The one's saying, 'this sucks,' are just as valid as the ones saying, 'this rocks,' though. There'd be just as much from both sides in a 'Gangnam Style sucks' thread. That's the way discussion boards work. | ||

Q: We heard that you plan to visit the U.S. next week. Some Korean media have reported that you and Justin Bieber are going to do joint projects. Is that true? A: No, that’s not true. But it is true that I am going to meet with Scooter Braun, who produced Justin Bieber. Mr. Braun actually wrote about me on Twitter. It will just be a casual meeting. I don’t know where some of the reporters got their information. It sounds like Justin Bieber and I have already become best buddies! I am a bit embarrassed. To be honest, I don’t expect people in the U.S. to recognize me or anything. I don’t take in the media hype but I plan to do some media interviews while I’m there. | ||

I thought myself as a consieur trying to get plebians to enjoy more refined music like machine head and Cannibal Corpse. However, as I got older, I lost my passion, either that or I grew up, and realised that everyone enjoys music that they find appealing. That led me to stop bitching about music I didn't like, and just leave my comments to myself as people will like what appeals to their very being. The music is tongue in cheek about Korean lifestyles of the youth with money. It's got a catchy beat, and the words (even if you don't understand them' fit perfectly with the song which is going to make it a hit. Not many songs manage to hit that harmony where everything fits, and more often than not there are terrible contortions of sentences or something really off beat to help the lyrics fit. The song just feels like summer to me, which is why I enjoy it. It's carefree, and doesn't really give a fuck which is excactly how I feel during the summer months, as I have English camps where I teach and frankly, I don't give 2 shits. Psy's music always has that knack of defining a part of the year, just by how well his music is put together. Right now is the part of my 1st year in Korea OST, along with some other Kpop that I originally hated, but learnt to love..... God bless you Psy, you sexy man beast! | ||

Ellen is huge in the US. You are comparing one of the most popular day time television talk shows to something that is livestreamed. PSY is everywhere now. He's scheduled to appear everywhere. Bigger than Rain appearing on the Colbert Report. He's the IT guy in Korean right now with the mainstream exposure so the idea of him appearing on the GSL to perform anytime soon is very far-fetched. | ||

Shame he is probably so big now that he would be really hard to get - im sure his schedule is huge now hahaha. When I first saw it on some stream, I found it hilarious, as in "omg, koreans sure make some silly music! ", and I showed to some friends as an example of silly k-pop. Then yesterday there was this lateline or whatever on australian TV, and they talked about this song, and I was first "oh, they cover k-pop, cool!", then I heard "number one in Australia", which would have made me spit my cereals all over the table if I were that meme...Not sure if it gives me hope for the world though. Rather it feels like maybe "the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" maybe caught the mentality of "intelligent life" pretty well.... | ||
