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.
