Dude.

Entire point is to laugh at Psy for acting silly.

No?

And then a whole bunch of people act like Psy in parodies of Gangnam Style so that they can get laughed at too.

The cycle continues.

Either way his on top of the music charts [sold over 2m records for this "laughable" song]

Getting massive media exposure and rolling in cash at the end of the day.

So who gets the last laugh?

Sure he is making money, not really helping the whole “kpop going international” cause though.

Gotta love how anytime a kpop group does a non-korean interview these days the interviewers ask them to do the horse dance. Not really a representation of what kpop is.

Check out how mad this guy got because they wanted him to do the horse dance. http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest+News/Showbiz/Story/A1Story20120927-373991.html

His 15 minutes are nearly over, he better have some good follow up material before Future next year because pretty sure he is going to be forgotten just as quickly as he popped up.

Not really... I like the song and I dont listen to any other KPOP or JPOP or whateverPOP.

its like showing some non-english speaking person jizz in my pants, saying its pop music, without mentioning gaga, britney spears etc.

I'd have to agree with that.

Gangnam Style brings off the wrong impression to others about K-Pop. It makes them think that K-Pop is just comic relief, when in fact, it's not.

I can certainly understand why Tiger JK got pissed at the audience members for repeatedly asking him to do the horse dance, though he could've gotten rid of the profanity and perhaps not yelled at them during the performance.

He came there to perform his songs, not other people's songs. He came there to dance his moves, not other people's moves. To have the audience members disrespect him like that by asking him several times to perform someone else's dance moves... I'd personally be rather pissed off too.

It's all, "Did you actually come to watch me perform, or did you just come to watch people dance the horse dance because you expected that all Koreans can do is dance the damn horse dance and sing damn Gangnam Style? Because if it's the latter, get out."

(And I'm saying this even though I like Gangnam Style. Think it's becoming a little too overrated and overused, but it's not bad.)

But yeah, he better come up with some new hit songs pretty soon. Otherwise he'll just remain a one time thing. That's the reason why foreign countries still don't give him real recognition yet. They treat him like a joke, and I'm hoping that he'll change that around. ;(

its a bit depressing tbh

girl groups wonder girls/snsd tried american markets, no luck. jyp acknowledges this and the boys was just an awful song to debut with.
guy groups would just get laughed at for being blatantly homosexual. some of the girls i know would demolish shinee in a rugby union scrum.

but wait psy, the guy who "looks like that guy from the hangover" breaks the market

TBH, yes, gangnam style is overrated as fuck. There's heaps of other songs out there, which are tonnes better, like BIGBANG's blue and BEAST's fiction, in which neither of them are acknowledged well enough.

Oh well, what can you do about it after all...

Oh, I can definitely see the homosexual comments spewing out of foreigners' mouths for the guy groups. They'd be all, "The fuck, why are they wearing mascara? They must be gay!" =/

Not much, unfortunately. Many foreigners just don't care enough about other cultures to listen to their songs, no matter how good they may be. In their minds, if they can't understand the language, it's instantly labelled as garbage. ;(

Ironically the only comprehendible part of the song is the "HEEEEYYYYY SEXY LADY" part, other than that, everything else comprehendible. Yet gangnam style still gets no. 1 on the charts.

MV is 90% of the reason

Gangnam style is meant to be a song that brings happiness. It's certainly doing that. :)
