"If you're over the age of 50, never listen to Radio 1 and don't spend half an hour each day on Youtube, you probably haven't heard of Gangnam Style."








The full how to dance Gangnam Style:





Source: Me (scanned Jersey Evening Post)

Okay, so (old) Jersey only just heard about Gangnam Style last week and has been playing it on the radio like crazy, so we're late to the party. I know people are starting to think of it as old (which Jersey already thinks!) but when I saw the article in today's paper I got such a kick out of it and thought Omona would too. It's partly awfully researched and partly okay...but mostly just hilarious. And the "how to dance Gangnam Style" is a nice touch even if they don't know what "Oppa" means.

I HAVE GANGNAM STYLE

OH MY GOD THERE IS NO BLOOD LEFT IN MY BODY I'M TOO BUSY CRYING IT FROM MY EYES

lbr though very little music hasn't been banned from being sold to under 19s lol

I went out to a restaurant tonight for pm the first time since this really took hold over here, and it was blasting from a club across the street and a car full of ~young hip students~ drove past us blaring it and going "woooo!!!" I am never leaving my house again.

"Oppa Gangnam Style" which roughly translates as "I have Gangnam Style" pmsl

That's how it's been reported everywhere, though. In context, isn't PSY referring to himself, i.e. the narrator in the song, (albeit from a woman's voice) as "oppa," so I could see where the confusion comes from... Maybe.

Ugh I know. But, understand what, exactly? It's not nuclear science, people. It's music. You like it or not. End of story. Everyone's happy.

Btw, hello there, Robert. Glad to see you in Omona.

'It's not nuclear science, people. It's music. You like it or not. End of story. Everyone's happy'
= A+

People tend to think its some weird concept that you need to grasp. I have friends who are into kpop and a lot that aren't. The ones who aren't (bless their hearts) always ask me to explain kpop, like somehow if I can come up with a reasonable definition they'll be able to enjoy it as well. Im always like you don't have to force yourself, some people just don't like it which happens in all genres of music.

You are lucky. Only 3 of my friends listen to kpop. My other friends/ex-classmates are a whole different story. Whenever I said kpop, most of them would look at me like I was crazy or something. And it's not like I was driving them crazy and forcing them to listen to kpop. And they used to make fun of it. Because it was in Korean and not in English or Greek. You asked me what my favorite music was, people, and I answered you. If you don't like it and it's weird for you just nod your freaking head and lay off. I don't ask you to become fans. Just to respect my music and respect my choices. Too hard? Then gtfo.


Well said, dear. Very well said.

ugh i hate people like that. Honestly I've had the same 8 best friends since the start of high school which was like 7 years ago so i fully expect them to support everything i like, fair enough if they're not into it but i wouldn't associate with anyone making any snarky remarks. But people in the group like rap or screamo so i try to keep an open mind with them as well, so I'm quite lucky in that aspect. Out of the 8 my 2 best friends are into kpop so we have our own fangirl sessions because i also know that it can be frustrating for the others because they don't understand what we're taking about. So besides those 8 anyone else i know is an acquaintance and i don't really give a damn about their opinions.

Good on you for saying you like kpop to those people, thats so brave and if i honestly didn't have my friends support i probably couldn't be as open about it as i currently am.

er...the side kicks aren't exactly kicks...all the dance videos from korea/yg practice show him sliding inward, not really kicking outward the way it looks in the pic.

Some need to tell them it's not difficult to be banned in Korea.

speaking of gangnam style, i was at my prom yesterday and it was played three times and the amount of people that knew the whole dance perfectly was so surprising.

I cannot ever think of any situation where this would be a good idea. Unless you were PSY himself.
