I actually love it! All over social media, because it's funny. It's not something to be taken so seriously! The video is brilliant, make me smile every time 
From what I've hear (I obviously don't speak Korean) it is a satirical song. I like it and people shouldn't be made to feel bad for something they like. I haven't bought it yet, but I may do in the future. It makes me happy

It has 301m views on YouTube
Looks like it has taken the world my storm. I was out last night in a big nightclub, the song came on and EVERYONE knew the moves. I say, well done to Psy!

All this proves is how you really can sell any old crap to the moronic masses if you shove it down people's throats enough. Makes me kinda sad actually.

It makes you sad that people are enjoying a fun song? It's not meant to be taken seriously. If you don't like it fine, don't call people that do like it morons.

'Baby' was uploaded 2 years ago, 'Gangnam Style' two months ago. Not really a great comparison

Once the hype has died down it will soon be forgotten about. In 2 years time it won't even have 500m views.

I wouldn't say 301m is 'nothing'. 301m is a hell of a lot. And Baby was released 2-3 years ago.
Its just gone no1 again on US iTunes and has a great chance of actually going to #1 in the US and in the UK, i like the video but the song is dire and hopefully the hype will die down soon.

Saw this on an anime site weeks ago... hilarious!!
I love 'Gangnam Style', though I find it bizarre that you would want to hang out drinking expensive coffee with cheap ramen
I think it's funny but it's just so manufactured.
Middle aged Korean guy in a suit has a catchy phrase "Gangnam Style" (just like "every day i'm shuffling" or "Johnny, what the ****?" or "bom bom Americano") followed by an instrumental breakdown and a dance routine. It's such a cliche in dance music and the fact it's a Korean man doing it is for the shock/comedy value. It's more about the video than the song.
