Some Korean guy starts singing and dancing around on an imaginary horse and hes the biggest star. I admit it was catchy at the start but you turn every TV station, every show, hes on it. The part I don't understand is the song is in Korean and a few word in English and everybody is going crazy over this guy and his dance.

don't hate.. it happens with almost every song when they get played out.

Good for him... his video has become the #1 most played video, not at all an easy feat in today's world... he got to hump Madonna live on stage too.

it's just stupid fun that everyone can get into. no need to over analyze it or even leave the station on when it comes on. over 800 million views on you tube.

This guy is amazing. He's number 1 on youtube now, just beat justin bieber's video recently. He's also popular in real life. At least 20000+ people showed up when he arrived in Paris. The crowd went crazy. :Eek::Eek::Eek: Here's a video proof.

The popularity of this song confirms the sorry state the music industry is in right now. Well, it has been in decline for over 10 years.

+1 most music out these days (Bieber, gangnom etc) is shit. Not much good in the last 10 years (not all has been bad but more bad then good). I was sick of Gangnam from the first time I heard it. Thought it sucked then and think it still sucks. Sad people listen and buy this type of shit it will only inspire others to do the same.

Cool light show but crazy to dedicate to the song. I hope PSY sees the house and help pays for some of the electricity bill.

All you people crack me up. You sound like a bunch of hipster losers criticizing the state of music today. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. I listen to the radio all day and haven't heard that song in weeks. It isn't hard to avoid, and in fact I think you might have to go out of your way to hear it, only so you can hate it and tell everyone how much you hate it.

Now, having said that, I kind of liked the opening riff the first time I heard it. Of course, for some strange reason as I get older I seem to enjoy this bubblegum variety of pop music more and more.

You sound like those kids who only like music that nobody has heard of before. There will always be a market for this kind of pop music, and there always has been. Does anyone remember Aqua from the mid-90's? How about Spice Girls? Same thing.

The vast majority of posters here probably don't even know what it is, let alone being sick of it.

If you don't like it, change the channel, station, website, or use earplugs.

Some Korean guy starts singing and dancing around on an imaginary horse and hes the biggest star. I admit it was catchy at the start but you turn every TV station, It has a beat and it is a catchy tune, not like some of the droning wrap/talk songs every show, hes on it. The part I don't understand is the song is in Korean and a few word in English and everybody is going crazy over this guy and his dance. It has a signature move and there is audience participation
This guy got 800,000,000 views on youtube. If he got half a cent per hit, he is getting $4,000,000? Just for the Youtube video.

Remember the guy that was so terrible on Americas got Talent that he was funny and they invited him back? He started to do personal appearances in shopping malls and got $100,000 a weekend

WTF!?!!??!?!??!?!??!

Really? The song is in Korean? .....Holy Shit, say it isn't true!!!!

Please also tell all the people in Germany that went to the Coldplay concert that the songs were all in English or all the people in Italy that went to see Mana that the songs are all in Spanish.

I'm sure they're all going to be as shocked and dismayed as you are!

No different to the Macarena or the chicken dance...is Gangman style a staple at weddings yet? (not in that demographic now so no idea)

I've been living under a rock for awhile, so this is sorta new to me. Besides its probably a 1 hit wonder so he might as well get as much as he can out of it.

This guy was already a very popular star in South Korea before Gangnam style. This is the icing on the cake for him.
