gangnam style- Is this the beginning of a Kpop invasion in. the US?

[PunkicCyborg]

I just heard this song on the top 40 station. I've been driving my wife nuts with this track for tue past month already when when we heard this playing on the radio it was pretty hilarious. I'm wondering if this will open the doors for more jpop and kpop being played in tue US or if this is a one time deal beacuse the song and video are so ridiculous? I cant believe how many views there are for this video on YT

Oh no, not on here now:) My brother is always playing this video on YouTube.

Here it is for those not in the now

Kpop has been getting really popular in the past few years. Girls Generation being the first bands that I heard about a couple of years ago.

Gangnam style is in its own class though

I heard it on ESPN radio yesterday morning.  Then Mike & Mike talked about the song for a while.

[MotherGunner]

That song makes me want to vomit.  Only because everyone at my work is playing it.

I refuse to call that shit 'music'.

Oh, you're such an old fogie!

I suppose you don't like Bieber or ____________ either.

Gangnam Style is great music.  I don't really care if K-pop explodes over here (since it's already popular enough that they're going to keep making it), but it's pretty awesome to see friends really getting into great music like Gangnam Style.

I read an article (not online) by a record industry dude and he said that Kpop is not going to break into the U.S. market, and I agree with him. This Gangnam style is just a fad, and Girls Generation just a gimmick in the U.S. Not gonna happen. (But I've been wrong in my predictions before. Me when the iPad was announced: "No one is going to have a use for this. It will never sell.")

The video is friggin' hilarious, but the song isn't exactly something I'll be playing around the campfire on an acoustic guitar.  If anyone remembers it a month from now...

[CPTRAVE]

I think its nice to hear something different, atleast its not a depressing song.

I refuse to call that shit 'music'.

Second that!

The song is not great, but I've heard worse. Far worse. The music video is entertaining and I don't mind if people listen to this for a while instead of some other stuff I care even less about

But invasion? Probably not, sadly.

I would out this on the same level as LMFAO. I dont like this style of music but i listened to tons of Jpop back inthe day so to hear something like this on he radio is awesome!
