Subject: Gangnam Style

Maroon 5 is awesome. Deal with it.

Now yes, this song has been overplayed in such a short timeframe that I bet Psy was sick of it back in September when it just started to get mainstream attention in the world. But many people hate it because of how overplayed and talked about it is.

But lets see the positive side of this. Psy reached international Success in such a short time frame, with a song that can barely be understood by the masses of fans who play it every day. A feat very hard to achieve (The International Success, not the latter)

It is the fastest and most viewed video on youtube of all time (At the moment)

Psy's earlier work was a little too Rap for my tastes, but when PSY 5 came out in 2010, he came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the album a big boost. He's been compared to Justin Bieber, but I think Psy has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

PSY 6, his most accomplished album. His undisputed masterpiece is "Gangnam Style", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the Gangnam area itself.

So say what you want about the song being crap. But I tip my hat to you PSY. Well done on becoming a massive viral hit.

Never make me angry. I am a Hitman and I can easily find you and take you out.

It's just a music video.

Well. Considering how successful it has become it would be naive to say that it isn't a 'successful' song - but whether it is good or not is down to personal tastes. Which many people seem to have a taste for.

Next time when someone says that lyrics aren't important to a song, I'll show them this. Nicely put.

It's a great song. Psy's probably loving how much money he's raking in off it.

haha thats funny op because I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply a herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

Your whole post reminded me of a scene in a film...

It's hip to be square...

Haha ^ Ninja'd

Not at all. I'm not surprised considering the amount of Western Artists that Slander the American Politics.

Considering Billy Joe Armstrong wrote a particular song that came out the same year called American Idiot.

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

I don't think anyone ever thought it was good, I'm pretty sure the whole point was that it was so quirky. When I first saw Gangnam Style on Reddit earlier last spring, the link wasn't like, "Check out this amazing music!" it was more along the lines of "Crazy K-Pop guy". Take away the music video and it wouldn't have been anywhere near as big as it is now.

Don't punch a British kid, the queen'll come after you.

Very good but why are there copies of the style section all over the floor?

Do you have a dog or something?
