Pony Joe 583 October 5, 2012 Share October 5, 2012 If I have to give my honest opinion about this... I (unironically) love this video. It's simply a spectacle to behold. A stream of ridiculous, unrelated situations tied together by a dance which, by the end, has inspired people of all walks of life to stop taking everything so seriously and pretend to ride a horse to a K-pop tune for a change. It's produced well, doesn't pretend to be serious in the slightest, and many of the performers have real talent. Above all, it's incredibly entertaining, but unlike a lot of entertaining music videos, isn't annoying or repetitive unless viewed extensively. It's a song made just for fun, and it does that job definitively right. 2 That's really all there is to say on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcato 2,143 October 5, 2012 Share October 5, 2012 Considering that just today when I was on my way back to my hotel room with my brother, I did the dance and an entire bus of people burst out laughing, some also doing the dance... Yeah I'd say it's pretty big. ~Relax and enJOY life.

NavelColt 22,880 October 5, 2012 Share October 5, 2012 Internet memes and fads spring up all the time, for sometimes the weirdest of reasons. It really just comes down to what people take and run with. Yeah, I'd call Gangnam Style an internet fad at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638 October 7, 2012 Share October 7, 2012 It kinda is. Everyone at my school is OBSESSED with it. You hear it on their phones, people talking about it, it even played at our Homecoming dance. I do not mind the song, but when people over play it? It gets kinda annoying.

But yeah, It's surelly a new fad. It even made the news in my country (which is really odd and rare to see). shiet got srs guise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizune 37 October 8, 2012 Share October 8, 2012 Never have I seen so many gif and reaction pic worthy moments in a single four minute video as I have seen in Gangnam style. Seriously, it's meme gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicke 3,189 October 8, 2012 Share October 8, 2012 This will be the next dance i will preform. Gangnam style, talk about being an epic dance. Stand aside shuffle dance, here comes Gangnam Style! Signature made by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoogles 45 October 8, 2012 Share October 8, 2012 Coincidentally enough I was doing some shopping today. I was about to go into a shop called lidl and buy some coffee when Gangnam Style played on my phone via shuffle so I thought 'why the fuck not?' I pulled out the headphones, cranked the volume up to maximum, strolled on into the store and Gangnam Style'd my way through it. And yes, I did pick up the coffee and Gangnam Style my way to the counter to pay for it. Oh the faces the people in there made One person obviously understood what I was doing though, because he joined in! Best moment of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcake Ice Cream 436 October 8, 2012 Share October 8, 2012 I would absolutely love if this meme disappeared and never came back. boring, annoying and all that. Maybe I a just getting too old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeyWikey07 58 October 8, 2012 Share October 8, 2012 In my opinion, I believe that this song is becoming nothing more than the newest fad/craze to anyone who enjoys this kind of music. I have nothing against it, just don't like it. Pop isn't as good as back in the 80s and 90s, I still have some of them and they all consist heart and soul. Today, it's just partying.

Sorte95 46 October 8, 2012 Share October 8, 2012 Looking at how popular it have become in such little time, I would definitely say that Gangnam style is the newest fad. I think that 400 million views on YouTube in less than 3 months speaks for itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuniaC 52 October 8, 2012 Share October 8, 2012 When I first saw gangnam style it had some 45 million views. I thought it had 450 so I said so to my friend. He was like NO WAY! Now it almost has 450 million views in just a few months. Amazing Signature by Cloud Chaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippedOffMattress 314 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 Sadly yes it is. It hasn't been that long, but it's already wearing me down. The song was funny at first, but soon got REAL old REAL fast. Formally known as Misselaineous97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinolent cupcakes 24 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 I dont think it will be or is a fad, because it already was a fad and it kind of died down. I do not see it making a recovery and being as big as it once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegisReflector 886 October 10, 2012 Share October 10, 2012 I automatically dislike any viral material that gets parodied so many times to the point that it's lost it's luster and original intentions. Gangnam Style's original music video's meanings makes utterly no sense in the eyes of Western audiences, because the point of the video was to criticize the "posers" who claim to be of the South Korean province of "Gangnam", known to be a "hip" and "party-like" region. It was a parody video targeted specifically for South Korean audiences. All the outside fame the video is being known for is simply because of the odd dance PSY does and some of the lyrics like "heeeeeeyyyyyy sexy laadddyyyyy". Because of those reasons, every freaking celebrity, band, act, and other mediums has to satirize this video to be with the "in-crowd" and to show that they can be goofy too, without realizing that they are basically doing nothing but rehashing material and not being creative in the least. Gangnam Style shouldn't have been this popular, but thanks to a few powerful people, it has all this un-deserved fame. Same deal with Call Me Maybe. I have no idea why that specific song has sooooo many renditions and parodies, but it does, and now everytime I actually hear the original Carly Rae Jepsen version, I just want to shoot my speakers out. It had a catchy beat, and it was a harmless song, but thanks to EVERYBODY basically milking the shit out of it, it just gets annoying after a while.
