Gangnam style made me prefer North Korea to South Korea. No country devoted to the common good could ever unleash such cultural carnage upon the world.

The biter irony of Gangnam Style was in its original portrayal (embraced by the OG music video) mocking the faux-decadence and rampant conspicuous consumerism of the Gangnam district. Then Psy blows up, becomes the epitome of the Nouveau Riche he was parodying, hooks up with his lead dancer, and just shamelessly embraces the same Gangnam lifestyle.

I mean, North Korea has its own brand of conspicuous over-consumption. It’s just couched in the language of Juche socio-economic policies. The two countries’ leaders are trapped in a shameless cycle of one-upsmanship and its been toxic for them both in different ways.

Jokes, but I do hate gangnam style.
I’ll hear nothing bad about that song, it was fun af. It was Kpop before Kpop was cool.
It was a fucking banger and a true classic of this millennium’s tween years you tasteless, joyless, spork sharpener.
addendum: the lil “discourse” below this comment is 🍫🍿🥤
I dont believe one could be a millenial tween in 2012
No but the millennium itself was a tween
Millennium as in 2000-3000 not millennial as the generation.
Psst. 2001-3000
2000-2999. Arrays start at zero.
That’s not correct though, you don’t start at zero
i think i was fairly clear I do
Of course, I never wrote anything different 😉
