When they write historical novels about the 2000s, they'll have characters sit around listening to Gangnam Style

Why would Youtube use a signed 32-bit integer for the view counter? An unsigned integer would let them count videos with up to 4 billion views.

I can't loving wait to be an old guy describing what it was really like in my day.

Complex and technical songwriting is really lost on most of the genre anyway. A band like Nile is legit noise for example

it was strange how that song picked up out of nowhere. there are plenty of goofy foreign (from a western standpoint) songs with funny dances so i have a feeling there was some great marketing and advertising behind it and how it went viral. obviously there are people who enjoy it but i'm really, really curious on exactly what marketing was used for this song. the song and video itself, while pretty interesting, isn't that amazing and in an alternate universe could easily have been a song that didn't get traction outside the asian market. thegoonofaudio fucked around with this message at 11:25 on Dec 4, 2014 |

Oh no people having fun I can just imagine the neck beard who made this image at a wedding reception, glaring at the dance floor as his family members cheerfully gallop and lasso with the bride and groom also anyone who thinks that metal is sophisticated has never listened to the lyrics finally, virtually everyone in the West completely misses out on the social satire in that video

metal has existed through the ages, from the ancient times of E.T. and Ghostbusters to the frantic modern world of today also lol at the "only 20% of the vocals are completely awful in this specific way" estimate

It was also released as a promo for their show. I don't know much about marketing but usually promotional videos are expected to "go viral"

But I guess the imagery is too subtle for you.
