Oppan Gangnam Style

Everyone knows about the international sensation PSY, the singer of the hit single, Oppan Gangnam Style.

 

 

Oppan Gangnam Style is a Korean-originated song that went viral over the internet over the past year or so.

 

People became obsessed with this popular trend, memorizing the dance, the lyrics or perhaps both. They downloaded the song on most of their mobile devices, including Blackberries, iPods, Androids and iPhones.

 

Flashmobs formed all over the world because of this new music sensation and have had crowds with millions of people dancing along.

 

These are just a couple examples:

 

I honestly find this dance very entertaining. The music is pretty catchy and I like the techno beat and how the audio technician mixed it.

 

There's also another version of the song, still with PSY in it, but it instead features a Korean star, Hyuna. I personally find this version horrifying. Her voice sounds like a singy-songy Pikachu, which, to me, sounds extremely annoying and irritating to my ears. Not only the music, but the music video makes me want to throw up.

I am disgusted as to what girls have to do to gain media popularity. It's as if signing up to become a superstar means selling your social virginity through the prostitution of your body for the camera lens.
 

Anyhow, after the media craze, it eventually died down into what Gangnam Style is today: a thing of the past.
