Yea theres about 4 different categories of people when an idea is put out.

You've seen/read/heard it and like it

" " " " " and hate it

" not seen/read/heard it but just hate it

" genuinely never heard of it.

For me. I liked it. The beat is undeniably good. ***** catchy and its pumpin. Its been song of choice going into v-tech last few days.

People say its Pop, although how is it pop? Not too far off away from Dubstep to me.

Anyways I'm against Pop, or rather against anything out of North America (Except for Deadmaus). But I've heard some sick KPop/JPop.

Anyways, guess I just have a large taste in Music. Considering ontop of the massive House/Trance/DrumNBass/Dubstep/Bhangra (Yes I listen to Bhangra). This ---- got added.

Hmmmm...jury is still out on this one.
It does seem to elicit rather strong reaction from some, though. That comment above made me laugh.

Any which way you spin it, that ---- is garbage.

Cool One BILLION views so far...

As of last week, here's what CBC News had to say:

"Viral star Psy has reached a new milestone on YouTube. The South Korean rapper's video for Gangnam Style has reached 1 billion views, according to YouTube's own counter. It's the first time any clip has surpassed that mark on the streaming service..."

For full story: Psy's Gangnam Style reaches 1 billion views on YouTube - Technology & Science - CBC News


Love it or hate it, it seems to be part of pop culture for 2012.
