Dang it.... I wanted the lazy link to the video, not the subreddit.

[–]googie_g15 7 points8 points ago

And here I was thinking I wasn't going to watch that video today.

[–]bv310 7 points8 points ago

Every time I open that link, I tell myself I'm going to close it, but then it's 5 minutes later and I've got it stuck in my head for the rest of the fucking day.

[–]BLKavarice 1 point2 points ago

I've already watched it at least 50 times today. Its soooooo catchy.

[–]FailingCollegeStuden 0 points1 point ago

What the heck did I just watch?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

if one was truly lazy, one would simply put "/r/" before the subreddit and it will automatically link it for you (/u/ for users)

example:

/r/alot

/r/HIMYM

/r/firstworldanarchists

Can I get a TL;DR? I read almost half of it but I don't have time for this at work..

[–]FunkyFortuneNone 28 points29 points ago

From the article:

"Koreans have been kind of caught up in this spending to look wealthy, and Gangnam has really been the leading edge of that," Hong said. "I think a lot of what [Psy] is pointing out is how silly that is. The whole video is about him thinking he's a hotshot but then realizing he's just, you know, at a children's playground, or thinking he's playing polo or something and realizes he's on a merry-go-round."

"Koreans made extraordinary gains as a country, in terms of GDP and everything else, but that growth has not been equitable. I think the young people are finally realizing that. There's a genuine backlash. ... You're seeing a huge amount of resentment from youth about their economic circumstances."

[–]ZachDawg832 16 points17 points ago

Why my generation (I am 26) doesn't feel resentment towards the majority of the baby-boomers for the same reason I will never know. How many of us have parents who are massively in debt and end up passing it on to us in some form? It seems to me that our parents are the true reason behind our countries current fiscal woes; but they just seem to want to blame politicians of whatever party they are not affiliated with instead of taking blame.

Then again, everything in history seems to go in cycles, especially the economy. Prosperity/spending, followed by poverty/austerity. I imagine children growing up right now with parents who are suffering economically will be more fiscally responsible; similar to children growing up in Depression Era United States. Then their children, growing up in prosperity, will repeat the cycle.

Edit - I do not mean to say that the fiscal recession currently occurring in the United States is nearly as severe as the Depression of the 1930s. However, for many people, it is a very serious issue.

[–]missgonzo 12 points13 points ago

I'm 24, and I'm pretty damn resentful about it. Even more resentful that the baby boomers treat our generation like we're defective losers because we don't own a house by age 20.

[–]geebs61 5 points6 points ago

I found out my mom was talking shit about me behind my back one day. She was saying shit like "By the time I was his age I had two kids and had already owned two houses." And generally acting like I haven't accomplished anything in life, and I am a waste.

Well, mom. By my age you had also been married twice, bought two houses with the income of another person(not to mention the housing market was a completely different beast almost 30 years ago), got knocked up twice, worked in a cannery, and didn't even have a GED.

I don't have kids. I had my 8th grade education by the time I left the 8th grade(when you're supposed to). My only debt is student loans. You know, for that education you kept pushing me to get but refused to help with at all.

Meanwhile no one will give her credit and she was just de-flagged through Chex Systems or whatever after not being able to get a bank account anywhere for the last seven years because of how many checks she bounced.

But I am the loser. Right, mom.

[–]Wry_and_Dry 0 points1 point ago

I can't help but wonder if you're a bit embittered about the whole thing.

[–]geebs61 1 point2 points ago

What? Why would I ever feel bitter about my own mother talking shit about me to my friends, family, and coworkers because I haven't "accomplished" what she did by my age?

[–]locopyro13 15 points16 points ago

We don't own houses because they told us to go to college
so we could get a well paying job with our degrees and not have to flip burgers,
but now they rail on us for being too self righteous and not taking a burger flipping job that they used to have growing up.

[–]roadbuzz 2 points3 points ago

And it's not only the US. There is a massive youth unemployment in Europe and very few young people seem to realize that emplyoment policies are skewed towards older employees. They can simply live their comfortable lives without having to compete with younger people.

The baby boomers call us slackers while they keep us down and live on future generations expense.

[–]twrntg 2 points3 points ago

25 here.. counting the years tll baby boomers stop voting aka die..

[–]Jaboomaphoo 2 points3 points ago

22 and begging the baby boomers to die already so I can have their jobs and my government.

[–]noodlefart 7 points8 points ago

it's making fun of materialism among the S. Korean wealthy. just skimmed it myself tho.

i wonder if all the gay stuff in the vid. is controversial there

[–]Harry_Hardlong 7 points8 points ago

Gay stuff? Its just funny.

[–]wangofjenus 19 points20 points ago

what most americans would consider "gay" is pretty common. i mean i doubt people snuggle up in the sauna, but theres that whole communal bath thing that asians have.

[–]subliminali 8 points9 points ago

is there a 'make pelvic thrusts in an elevator over another man' thing in Asia too?

[–]wangofjenus 2 points3 points ago

ok, that one was a little gay. i'll give you that. but it's funny and the pelvic thruster is another celebrity or something.

[–]thekeanu 5 points6 points ago

This focus in your guys' conversation about "gay" stuff isn't really how Koreans view "gayness".

Those guys just seemed to have done all that stuff because it was funny.

[–]clamsmasher 5 points6 points ago

No one else on this planet views it as 'gay' either. Commenters above you are homophobic children.

[–]scots23 0 points1 point ago

Getting naked and letting other dudes check out your junk is the favorite past-time of a generation that seems to be the most hateful against gay things. I can't name a time I've walked into the gym locker room and not seen an old guy with one leg up on a bench and the other on the ground, captain morgan pose, rocking back and forth talking about weather to some other old dude wrapped in a towel. I haven't seen one girl in the sauna either because it is usually those guys sitting in nothing but towels with their balls hanging out by their ankles.

[–]whatsthisIdonteven 5 points6 points ago

Well S. Korea is actually really hypocritical about it in that it's totally acceptable- encouraged, even- for boys (and girls, but that's common in America too) to show each other affection like hugging, patting butts, arm hooking... and none of it is considered gay at all, it's called "skinship" and it's just a way to show close friendship. Everyone is straight until proven otherwise, while actual homosexuality makes you a social pariah.

[–]EphemeralStyle 0 points1 point ago

I.. don't think that's technically hypocritical. Showing physical affection to someone does not have to mean anything about sexuality (although I'll admit that it often does, especially among most Westerners)

[–]TheEmcee 5 points6 points ago

Besides the odd sauna clip, what other gay things were there?

[–]noodlefart 7 points8 points ago

the elevator dude rocked

[–]TheEmcee 6 points7 points ago

Oh yeah hahaha. He looks like a mexicanized Korean.

[–]ckcornflake 0 points1 point ago

Maybe the part where the guy is humping the air above the singer's head. Not sure...

[–]BigSwerve 4 points5 points ago

Thats just another famous korean guy doing his trademark "dance" because he happened to be closeby when they were filming. Forgot his name...

[–]SoManyNinjas 10 points11 points ago

Very interesting..I kind of like it a little more now

[–]twrntg 0 points1 point ago

Super interesting, thanks.

[–]lil_mitch54 0 points1 point ago

For the tl;dr version, heres the music video with translated lyrics. For the less lazy I suggest reading the article,as it goes further into the underlying meaning.

[–]gorillo 34 points35 points ago

It's no joke. I did Gangnam style the other day and pulled a calf muscle.

[–]squirrelhaven 5 points6 points ago

I hurt myself too. Had to wear an ace bandage on my knee for two days. Haha

[–]AnxAlbumxCover 7 points8 points ago

The song is characterized by its strongly addictive beats and lyrics, and is thus certain to penetrate the foundations of modern philosophy.

[–]aspiration 11 points12 points ago

You jest, but here you are watching the video and reading it's description. Gangnam style just mind fucked your shit.

[–]AnxAlbumxCover 1 point2 points ago

Absolutely. I've watched that video 3 times so far and shared it on facebook. It's really catchy. I was just being immature with the above quote.

[–]shadowamazon 0 points1 point ago

Don't forget the female version ft. HYUNA. Sexy lady doing cute pickachu voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcLNteez3c4

[–]MrBrawn 63 points64 points ago

horrible

[–]hate_is_beautiful 20 points21 points ago

While she's incredibly cute and I'm sure she's an otherwise excellent performer, her delivery of the lyrics lacks the masculine, reckless abandon that makes the original so great.

[–]shadowamazon 8 points9 points ago

The lyrics is different in the female version. "The new "Gangnam" lyrics are apparently retrofitted here to work from a woman's point of view, but the main difference we're spotting is less invisible horse riding and more sultry side-eyeing."
She sang in this some what agitating cute pikachu voice as a mock to the shallow nature of the GangNam girls.
Gangnam Style becomes Oppa is just my style, TheHuffingtonPost

I have no idea what he's saying but the tune is catchy and those girls are so incredibly hot that I can't help myself watching it 5-10 times a day.

[–]brojelio 5 points6 points ago

Abridged version: T-Pain said it was cool, so a bunch of American people watched it. Turns out its actually not just a fun Korean pop "K-Pop" song, its a statement of the artist's sickness of the shallow and wasteful life styles of the cool rich kids in a Seoul neighborhood(Gangnam).
