It’s worthwhile to point out that this is the type of pop song a man would have a difficult time pulling off. In this song, the women of 2NE1 occupy a completely liminal position, unable to step back out of love (because when is that ever possible?) but shuddering with fear that they will never find what they are looking for: “I’m still scared of love / So give me your trust.” Structurally, the circular “I Love You,” which makes us want to listen to it over and over again, expresses that there is no way out from feeling like this, because quite simply, there is no way for the space between ourselves and others to be eliminated, even if it can be lessened. In essence, it is to merge completely with them, or failing that, to switch places (the subject of Kate Bush’s song “Running Up That Hill”). They also feel the anguish of their love object not knowing how they feel (because in that moment, what they feel is the most important thing in the world): in “I Love You,” CL and Minzy both sing “Why don’t you know how I feel? / I still don’t know how you feel too.” To suffer from love is to want to get inside the other person’s head, to feel exactly what they are feeling. Those who experience the pains of unrequited love don’t just suffer because they are not loved. “I Love You” takes a theme that is familiar in pop music, unrequited love, and uses it to explore one of the great themes of art in general, the unbridgeable gap between ourselves and others.

Some, for sure, but a whole lot, likely the majority, are not - just look at all the tribute videos from American marching bands, individuals in the US and elsewhere, and it's pretty clear it's not just 'South Korean hackers' upping the ratings.ĭisillusioned: "There are much better parodies on YouTube if ya wanna see them.

But I base that on having seen and heard them. I hate them, and they have no talent, can't dance well, can't play instruments, don't write most of their stuff if any, they engage in kiddie porn, etc. Some people rant and hate on AKB without every having bothered to watch any of their material (to not hear it if you live hear is pretty tough). It's the same for everything, not just PSY. It's rather sad when someone refuses to see or do something ONLY because others do it. On the other hand I had other friends and acquaintances who BOASTED about not watching it, saying it was like this and that despite never having watched it to validate their opinions on the show.
#How much did psy make from gangnam style tv
I had friends who were simply uninterested in watching the show, and TV in general for that matter, despite some people pressing them.
It kind of reminds me of the people who refused to watch LOST simply because of all the buzz and popularity (and I'm NOT comparing the content of LOST by any means, only people's reactions to the popularity of a program, video, or what have you). Lowly: "ppl who didn't see it- I don't get it, I've resisted things that were too popular, hyped before, but never waved a flag about it."Įxactly.
