"Gangnam Style" (Korean: 강남스타일; pronounced [kaŋ.nam sɯ.tʰa.il]) is a K-pop song by South Korean singer Psy, released on July 15, 2012,
Gangham style is over a decade old
Lol I was in middle school, I remember everyone trying to do the dance, we were all confused about why it was popular but also super into it, 9gag, vine, ifunny, joined reddit then, simpler times, hopeful future

Pack it up, "artists," the solution to viewer interpretation has been found.

I don’t speak Korean but most sources I could find say Oppa means ‘older brother’ but also women call their boyfriend oppa. Also Gangnam is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Seoul. Oppa Gangnam Style would mean Gangnam boyfriend or rich boyfriend or sugar daddy.
Thanks for the clarification.
It could be 10+ years of me misremembering the explanation. The person who told me this was Korean, so it seems more likely that I misremembered than them explaining it wrong.

I remember the dude showing me Gangnam style. I remember Gangnam style hitting the billion views as the first video ever. And it did that in 6 months. Good times.
Not to mention the fact youtube had to raise their viewcount integer, I believe, from 32 bit to 64 bit

Uh...
No. Completely different statue.

“We don't even see his feet. He is embedded in the rock like something not yet fully born, suited and stern, rising from its roughly chiseled surface. His face is uncompromising, determined, his eyes fixed in the distance, not far from where Jefferson stands across the water. But kitsch here strains at the limits of resemblance: Is this the Dr. King of the "I Have a Dream" speech? Or the writer of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech?”

Okay but people thought the arms thing was a depiction of fellatio, so not remotely similar in reception.

Well they are in the category of bad MLK statues but yeah I agree oral sex is not very similar to a stern expression
