Why did normies fucking eat it up?

>>72352592
Low brow comedy over a vapid dance track. Plus, extra quirkiness factor: It's Korean!

>>72352631
But what's funny about it?

>>72352631
I guess this

But ive never understood it either OP. Also Gangnam style is literally "sexy and I know it" by LMFAO

2012 was the worst fucking year for top 40s pop in history.

>>72352592
people treat asians like aliens, it's the racism of the exotic. see also: weebs.

>>72352665
>LMFAO

Holy shit

2011 / 2012 was really fucking weird

>>72352645
This is the stupidest question I've seen all day. Congrats anon.

I was high when I saw the video for the first time and I thought it was hilarious
Gangnam Style is kind of innocent it's like one of the last lowbrow things to be widely accepted before SJWism took over society

>>72352736
>likes gangnam style
>unironically uses the phrase SJW

kys i bet you played blackops in 7th grade all the way back in 2012

catch poppy song with a memorable video and dance.

>>72352592
Because it's catchy as hell, the music video is well made and the dance is quirky and iconic.

>>72352760
>all these generalities
What are you really trying to say?

>>72352592
It was mildly catchy and lolxdrandom

>>72352736
Sjwism took over society?? Jesus

>>72352592
Danced with a girl who had a very nice butt to this song.

>>72352844
>>72352845
Sheeit we said almost the exact same sentence within two seconds of each other. Crazy

>>72352869
If you're from Portland

;^)

AYYYYYYY SEXY LADY

Or if you get your worldview from this shithole

He's calling you a faggot anon. Generally speaking.

>pop music is popular
really makes you think

>>72352951
Looool so off

>>72352874
Really?

>>72352983
You probably get your worldview from a liberal arts college in some random American city. Get over yourself.

>>72352592

>Why did normies eat it up?

It's a fun song that anybody can enjoy without knowing Korean.

>>72353032
Such projection, I go to a boring uni in England and I'm from London, and yeah I'm over myself too, good chat tho

>>72353105
You're still worthless

>>72352951
What if I'm a Derridean Marxist who believes in the vanguard proletariat dictatorship zizek proposes, thus eliminating pansy bourgeois liberalism that you mistake for Marxism?

Did your redpilled charlatans like PJW and Molyneux make "philosophical" rebutes against me, too?

>>72352681
but 2012 had somebody i used to know

>2010s nostalgia will actually become a thing in the coming years

>>72353121
Yeah true tbf

>>72353176
Imagine what the vaporwave of the 2010s will be
Emojiwave

first you put the pen in the apple

>>72353268
first gangam style, then this. are the chinese the funniest race or what?

>>72353322
its basically a positive form of racism and xenophobia

>>72353158
If you're a Marxist you go into the fucking trash. Don't pretend that Zizek is above Molyneux btw. No one after Parmenides has contributed anything of worth to western thought.

>>72353383
i thought so. not so different from the old charlie chan stereotypes of the 30s desu

>>72352736
>Gangnam Style is kind of innocent
You should look up the lyrics and meaning of it.

Daddy is much better

I dont really think any of these arguments explain a fucking 2.8 BILLION view count on youtube, there is seriously something significant being missed here, thats fucking absolutely astronomical

>>72353176
>2010s nostalgia will actually become a thing in coming years
time passes famalam

>>72352996
Yes she was very nice and smart and had pretty hair. We were friends, not particularly close, but friends.

>>72353730
Beta fuck

>>72352592
I don't think they "ate it up" any more than you or I did. yet we all watched it.

it's one of those things, by the time it got trending it built ridiculous momentum and most of its views were from people who were completely indifferent to it

>>72353752
I grinded with her which is something that 99% of betas can't boast.

>>72353570
it's pretty crazy. made me think he paid google for the initial views, but that seems unlikely

maybe it was an experiment by google to see how pervasive youtube content could be culturally if they artificially inflated its popularity. or something along those lines

but yeah 2.8 billion is fucking insane

2012 was peak hipsterdom.

>>72353176
I miss 2010-2013. Feels like America was progressing in a somewhat hopeful direction in those years.

2014-present seems more cynical and hopeless

>>72353944
2013 was the same as 14, the fuck are you on about

>>72353967
he's probably just in his early twenties and confusing his life with america in general

>>72352974
Takes one to know one.

2014 is when Gamergate started and the whole identity politics over saturation began to take hold

Because it was a fun song you autist

>O R I E N T A L

>>72354359
Gamergate was the reaction to identity politics that had been brewing since at least 2011.

Don't shoot the messenger.

>>72352592
ASIANS ARE WACKY

>>72352592
It was very catchy

>>72354835

Hey wait, that rhymed. :P
