Gagnam Style-- why is it so popular in America, England, etc.?

Psy said he never expected any of his songs to be recognized outside of his country. Why do you think this song--which he only made because he wanted to do something exciting--became so popular in other countries (I don't know where else it's popular)?

Because it's got a pretty funny video and I guess people aren't used to funny videos coming from Korea.

Because it has a funny video, a catchy beat, and some pretty weird (but pretty good) dance moves. In other words, it's wacky in a cool kind of way.

Doesn't this belong in the Gagnam Style topic?

It's kind-of a fad; it's like the "cool" thing right now in pop culture.  tongue

You can't really groan about people liking silly music videos.

Besides, it's just a fun video to watch that's really silly. The guy doesn't take himself to seriously and it's funny to watch.

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: Gagnam Style-- why is it so popular in America, England, etc.?

I saw it first on Saturday Night Live last week, the at my school's pep rally they played it as well. It is weird, but compared to American acts like Lady Gaga it seems normal.

Looks like this topic is a duplicate of this one over here.  It's a good idea to use the Search feature of the forums before creating a new topic  smile
