The Beauty Of Metallic Symphony

Gangnam Style

  My first impression of the song is that it would be 'neater' than the other Korean music videos like Big Bang's "Fantastic Baby", and perhaps Tara's "I Go Crazy Because Of You", since I get somewhat dizzy upon watching the music video. At least PSY PSY presents himself more... neatly. Then the song was also somewhat nice to listen to. I mean no offence, of course. You see... Try comparing G-D in 'Fantastic Baby'...


And PSY...


  And by the way, I am a HUGE fan of Big Bang, not a hater.

  I once respected PSY and his new(and currently no. 1) hit a month after release. Then I once asked myself, "Is Gangnam Style going to conquer the world one day?"

  ... I was right.

     

  Even school students and Poly students dance to the music as if it was nobody's business. Even in Leadership Camp. I can even hear inconsiderate drivers blasting the song on their car radios. So... The next time I hear the song, my face goes like this:


  Watching the music video and laughing off the hilarious moves once in a while is okay. But when I have to ALWAYS hear the song or watch the music video, more than once a day... You can guess...

  Imagine watching your favorite movie(Not-too-romantic kinds) with your buddies three times a day, observing nothing but the exact same things that happened in the movie every time you watch it whether or not you missed a few parts or not. It's just like a beautiful dream turned horrible nightmare.

  I understand PSY's intention of helping us laugh our ass off his funny moves in the music video. I understand that he wants to brighten our moods a little by mixing the popular K-Pop genre with comedy. He was successful in not only his intentions, but globally influencing the entire world into riding invisible horses in the course of the chorus.

  Damn... I need a break... I guess it's back to the Classic Pop genre for me!
