D3strukt Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) This song is constantly, CONSTANTLY played on the radio here in Orlando. 'Course, I live in Little Saigon/Korean/Japan town (literally 2 blocks away) so, yeah. Though, it seems it's taken up all over the place, I can't speak for other countries though, but it seems KPop has finally hit it big here. Other artists, like Girls Generation, and Big Bang are becoming increasingly popular. Not complaining at all... It's actually a damn good song, just surprised. Anyone else here it on the radio? Also, the dance is really fun. Edited September 19, 2012 by D3strukt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 It's only big because it's similar to those "LMAO" queers. Useless music. Sorry. inb4elitistprogsnob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredder2 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Now I'd like to see an Asian Kung-fu Generation song be played on American radio. Preferably "1.2.3.4.5.6. Baby". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse2112 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 They were playing this at the Detroit Tigers game last night. I don't mind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It's a fun song and I like it. Am I going to buy this guy's music or albums? Not a chance. But, it is what it is. I like having breaks from the seriousness of Rush and other music to wig out on things like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I never heard of it until it was spoofed on SNL a couple weeks ago. But since the radio only ever plays crap, I don't know if it's being played to death here either.* *Also why RUSH, DT, and other good CDs are on constant rotation in the car.

ColdFireYYZ Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) I walked into the living room the other day and my dad was blasting this song. That was the first time I've ever heard it and its been stuck in my head since. Edited September 25, 2012 by ColdFireYYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3strukt Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I think Asian pop music is generally better, the beats are better, the lyrics aren't shit, a little bright and poppy music is good for the soul. None of that LMFAO "get drunk, party and f**k" bullshit. SNSD is good too. They're Korean as well, 9 girl super group who sing in English, Japanese, and Korean. That said, when I listen to Asian music, it's usually in the rock/prog/punk genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second I read the translation I hurl in my mouth - the song is defiled and I'll never listen to it again. ^ I'll watch this once in a while. Just a fun way to spend a few minutes. And yes, this Gangnam thing is very much the Asian LMFAO shit. This is incredibly evident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Japanese things I listen to make NO sense in English, yet work perfectly in Japanese. "I look at the sun while he smiles at my foot, i'll die if the wind ever stops" Shit like that. Also, the only response I have to that video is "JAPAAANNN!!!!" With clenched fists. Hahaha. It's pretty good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Bieber and Gaga's crimes against musical humanity have melody, and structure, and some other forms of meaningful musical aesthetic. This Gungan Style- or whatever they call it- is just cacophony set to rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Gungan Style- or whatever they call it- is just cacophony set to rhythm. If you want to play the melody game. Listen to rock and other forms of Pop from asia. Their melodies are 10 times better than western melodies. (Something the West could USE.) This is actually not pop, but Rap (a big step from Western Rap for sure.) I'm not saying it's the best thing ever, despite loving the shit out of it. But it's definitely not THAT bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Wow, funny this should be at the top here because this was brought up last night at football practice. I had NO IDEA what the kids were talking about. 2 of the guys I coach with are Filipino brothers and one of them came to practice in sunglasses yesterday. The kids said "Gangnam Style" and started doing some dance.... the coach got a kick out of it, but it finally makes sense to me Edited September 28, 2012 by Lost In Xanadu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
