Gangnam Style - Psy


I am so late on this but I don't care at all. heehee. Had to post this.

So 'Gangnam style' seems to be the rage of the moment. I saw this video for the first time like two weeks ago. The video is quite silly, but it is so entertaining.

It is a single by a Korean artiste called Psy, and it was released on his sixth album called Psy 6 on July 15th, 2012. As at October 13th the video has been watched over 470 million times on Youtube and it is currently Youtube's most watched K - pop video. It has been nominated for best video 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards.

"Gangnam Style" is a Korean neologism that refers to a lifestyle associated with the Gangnam district of Seoul, where people are trendy, hip and exude a certain supposed "class". The term was listed in Time's weekly vocabulary list as a manner associated with lavish lifestyles in Seoul's Gangnam district. Psy likened the Gangnam District to Beverly Hills, California, and said in an interview that he intended a twisted sense of humor by claiming himself to be "Gangnam Style" when everything about the song, dance, looks, and the music video is far from being such a high class.

According to Psy, people who are actually from Gangnam never proclaim that they are, it's only the posers and wannabes that put on these airs and say that they are "Gangnam Style", so this song is actually poking fun at those kinds of people who are trying so hard to be something that they're not.

Enjoy the video. Kizzez
