What the other person said, how can you be so sure it is bad w/o even having seen it in the first place? :-P

FWIW, it is an excellent satire on pop-culture in general, hip-hop videos, OTT dance moves in most music videos, etc. And the tune itself is quite catchy and has excellent recall value even without following the language...

In short, I cannot emphasise enough on how wonderfully it works as a satire to all things that you might consider "crapola" (this view is based on how quickly you dismissed the video as crapola in the first place), so I suggest you fire up the video and only then dismiss it.

You're welcome to diss it though, just watch it first, make an informed opinion, and then you're welcome to diss it all you want ;-)



i dont think it is a satire of anything. it's just pre-pooped music like most of today's mainstream music.


Hear that clicking sound? It's your generation gap getting a little wider. Happens to everyone.


Ha ha. While it might be a generational thing those types of derogatory comments are also very frequent from members of the current generation (through every generation)


You don't even need to speak Korean to understand it's satire. The very opening visual is something you could analyze for a high school English essay. Not saying it's terribly deep, but it is satire.


PSY have been doing that stuff for 10 years , i dont think there is anything "satirical" in his work.


YMMV ;-)

But, yes, your point can be equally valid too. When it comes to visual arts, the whole thing is soooo open to interpretation.
