Fun fact: the girl at 2:11 became a famous kpop star named HyunA, but a few months ago she quit her agency 'Cube Entertainment' because she was/is dating another kpop idol called E'dawn!
For those who are confused, a oppa is a close male friend, boyfriend or a older brother(From a little sister’s perspective.) Gangnam is a city in Korea with different styles and the video is mocking them. I think it includes horses or something Idk.
Before I read the lyrics, I didn't enjoy the song much. But ever since I read the lyrics, I love it. Its hillarious. For those who don't get it: "Oppa" is a term Korean girls use to affectionately address their boyfriends. Gangnam is actually a place in Korea. And the intent of the singer is showcasing he is a Gangnam style simpelton. So when you see the lyrics and understand what he is singing, with visuals showing him living a supposedly extravagant life while he isn't, and he dreams of a girl who is classy enough and still accepts him.... its hillarious.
This song isn't just for all you millennials out there. I turn 54 this year, and i still listen to it from time to time, ha ha. It's got so much energy and is just a fun song. ;-) I recall liking it the first time I heard it, but wasn't fussed on the visuals the first time I saw the video - I was a bit more serious back then. :-D I only got back into the song last week, and decided this week to find out what the lyrics were in English. Thanks to those explaining the meaning of "oppa" and the cultural context of "Gangnam" - adds more enjoyment! The lyrics aren't as bad as I thought they'd be given the video, so, that's a bonus. As many people have commented on various copies of this song I've watched on YT, there's something about this song that feels like "coming home": weird how that works across many age groups...
I still love this song, and the video is hilarious. There's a wonderful sort of humor featuring a geeky man trying to appear cool but not quite being able to do it that this video captures perfectly, as well as mocking "Alpha Male" videos. Sadly never really acknowledged for the genius it is.

It's actually about classism and how rich people in the Korean District of Gangnam-Gu live lavish lifestyles and mocking their wealth and how they go about it. Kinda like a parody of the flamboyance and ostentatiousness of rich people (seen by him being surrounded by women, wearing expensive suits, having a plane, throwing large parties, dancing on a bus, his bold dances, and his expression of living a rich lifestyle)
So your telling me at 5 years old I was singing “and who’s sexy without wearing skimpy cloth” alright then And your telling me my school allowed this to be played, oof And that I was singing kpop. The only song I was obsessed with was got7 just right in 2015 and now in 2020 I started listening to twice, bp, bts, stray kids, exo, itzy Wow the more you know
Omg the context for this makes it so much better. I didnt know it was basically the song equivalent of american psycho culture omg This badass can drink a cup of coffee in one go and likes a woman whos wild enough to take out her ponytail sometimes hes rich y'all take a step back. Visuals are so much funnier too, in the opening hes basically roped off an area of the playground just for him i love this. Fcking scathing
Zhida Zhou It makes sense now, however, it didn't make sense before because it seemed as if the lyrics didn't fit with the video, at least from a Non Korean perspective.
I've been listening to this song since I was 5 years old. Now I'm 13 years old, and I'm still listening. I remember the first time I listened to this song was in 2015, and now it's 2021. The feeling of listening to this song is like going home.
lyrics comes later..first the rythem..the proununsation of unfamiliar words with perfect timing with the rythem..then the act..the dance..the style..immortal song..comes onces in many years..Great
@@louszoo I wouldn't say it's about pretending to live a rich and wealthy lifestyle so he can snag his dream girl, rather it's about him trying to convince women that live within the rich and wealthy lifestyle that even though he doesn't look like the guys they go for he is the guy they want.
I’ve been singing this song as a kid wherever I went, and I thought it was Spanish since I was 4-5 and I thought there was only 2 languages, English and Spanish
This song made the whole world went Gangnam Style when it first hit the board... It was literally just everywhere😂 We never knew nor understood what it meant but we surely did enjoyed and vibed along this while it lasted😂😂😂

It's the equivalent of

Oppa is a way to address older male friends/figures, not just boyfriends…
