| What is the reason behind this Gangnam Style phenom? (Posted on 10/1/12 at 10:27 am)
heard it on local radio the other day. What is so special about this that it's become the sensation it is today? I really don't get it.

It's fricking stupid. So of course it's popular. OR Racist?

so,it's because they've finally produced an entertainer that is accepted worldwide? He's a fricking Elvis impersonator just like all the rest of them.

it's just a catchy song, nobody understands the words to it, so it makes it much easier to listen to when it comes to pop type music. The song is at least 100x better when watching the video than to hear it on the radio with no video, though.

This. It's one of those social phenomenons that will look ridiculous in hind sight but is the greatest thing ever right now because not much else is going on.

1. THE VIDEO. 2. Catchy chorus. 3. There is a dance associated with it.
