Girl's Generation latest Korean hit "I Got a Boy" was chosen as the #5 Song of The Year by TIME Magazine. Here's the quote:

"The nine-woman South Korean group Girls’ Generation is a ridiculously effective hook machine, and a major phenomenon in Asia, whose biggest pop acts make One Direction and Katy Perry sound like audience-alienating avant-gardists. If you like songs that do everything at once, go straight to YouTube and call up the over-the-top video for this monomaniacally charming hybrid of bubblegum, dubstep and hard rock, whose Korean lyrics are sprinkled with incongruous English phrases (“Ayo, stop, let me put it down another way”)."

To relive the epic video:

Get that recognition bbs <3 IGAB will remain one of my faves from them, even after that first WTF on new years.

My flask for the tears of IGAB haters and Soshi haters alike is ready.

This post will be fun considering how pationate some people were about this song.

Omg watching the video for the first time after a New Year's party was easily the most confusing moment of my life. I was drunk and there were like 4 songs going on at once.
It's definitely one of my fav korean title tracks from them, esp when they perform it live.

the song is surprisingly addictive after all the initial WTF reactions, tbh... still not my favourite song ever, but the lives/choreos definitely makes it better

Song of the year automatically got negated by the words I Got a Boy.

do the wins really mean anything though when they're being awarded by people who think IGAB was a good song?

IGAB is a great song if you treat it as a mashup of 3, 4 SNSD songs.

"make One Direction and Katy Perry sound like audience-alienating avant-gardists"

uhh I mean IGAB is an awful song but it's a thousand times more avant-garde than anything 1d or KP have released?

From: [identity profile] fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com
avant garde generally makes no sense and leaves the reader/watcher feeling confused so i'd definitely consider IGAB avant garde!

:V

Not sure if that's right, even in Korea.

I think it is. Every time they perform and the camera showes the audiences, most of the people are jamming to this song, at least in Korea.

During Dream Concert, didn't everybody sung along with them and turn the stadium into a SNSD concert?

I dediced it was a mash-up and yes, thinking it like that, it's a really good song. No lies, I was really surprised and disappointed at the first listen, but it grew on me really fast and I've been jamming to it a whole semester.
Sadly the album wasn't cohesive because the song itself is one of my fave of the year.

Good. I know alot of people hate it, but I think it's an incredibly fun song. It goes all over the place, yes, but it's like a rollercoaster ride and I enjoy it every time. I liked the idea behind it too (girls talking to one another, lyrics chaning with the music).

I'll NEVER understand the hate for IGAB. I fell in love with the song immediately and I still love it. The MV is also so much fun to watch and sica looks gorgeous in it!!! *_____*

I'm so happy for them, they've worked really hard and it's really paying up. Seolady just tweeted about it
