I just found it. Didn't see it before - no need to make a fuss.

If you want to debate with someone, serious discussion is just down from general chat.

Thankyou for your co-operation.

Apparently Psy (the guy behind it) is actually making a satirical comment about rich folk in South Korea.

Gangam is a trendy area where rich folk hang out. Apparently it's ground-breaking, because Korea isn't really a country that has much satire.


The song is a satire of conspicuous consumption in South Korea – such satire is unusual in South Korean music, especially in K-Pop, which is known for bubblegum pop.[18] South Korea has a high amount of conspicuous consumption. The country's credit card debt is 155% of its disposable income, and such debt has been encouraged by the government to help drive economic growth. One of the most common types of conspicuous consumption is expensive coffee. Women known as Doenjangnyeo are known to spend large amounts on expensive coffee while eating cheap Ramen meals. This is why Psy draws attention to drinking coffee in the song.[18]


(lifted from wikipedia, although there are a number of sources on this)

I thought it was just mentally catchy, then when I found out about it's social commentary I liked it even more.

Plus look how amazingly shot the video is. Shot on a RED EPIC camera as well. Not cheap!
