Impossible to rate objectively

I'm embarrassed to listen to this. It has become such a cultural phenomenon. What would probably be genius if unknown is now pretty obnoxious and unbearable.

Psy and pop culture

[safenoe · 7/10 · 12 May 2024]

One year after Psy released his video for Gangnam Style that imprinted itself into pop culture big time, Yvis released "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)", so 2012-2013 really had two viral videos big time. But now, Gangnam Style has over 5 billion views, and The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?) has over 1 billion views.

Psy's dancing style really took the world by storm, and he was honored with a guest appearance on SNL in one of their sketches. Anyway, it's hard to believe Gangnam Style was released released 12 years ago, and it continues to grow in popularity and deservedly so init right for sure.

Not quite my style

[Horst_In_Translation · 4/10 · 8 July 2016]

These four minutes we have here became the most clicked video in Youtube history a bit under 5 years ago and made singer Psy a gigantic star, not only in South Korea, but everywhere in the world. I personally cannot see the appeal, however. It is somewhat catchy I guess, but it's neither a great music video artistically nor does Psy come off as a talented singer, at least not from what he is allowed to display here. Then again, many many other huge success are mostly based on the recognition value and not on the artist having a good voice. Anyway, overall i must say that pretty much nothing in here justifies this video's success and that's why I give it enough. Watch something else instead, this one here was seen by far too many already anyway.

Op

It's not just any music video, it's a cinematic masterpiece, you could say it's right up there with Fight Club, from the close up of Psy's face, to the horse stable, to the spa, the choreography and Psy's lyrical genius, particularily the lines "Eeyyyyyyy sexy lady" and "op" compliments the visuals so well. It's brilliant, it's beautiful, it's a work of art, there's a reason it went viral.
