PSY's song : GangNam Style, What it means?

GangNam Style : a song full of SATIRE

It's a song that many people know and
has been gaining popularity.
but Majority wouldn't know the hidden meaning
of the GangNam Style song lyrics.

The article to be described will introduce the satire of this song of MV.

Where's the GangNam?

GangNam is in Seoul, Korea.
It is a place where wealth, fame, the latest fashion.
GangNam may have a luxury image like Paris or Beverly Hills or New York.These places are very gorgeus actually, but it is also often seen full of vanity.

Psy says that duality.They seem gentle, but change the wild animals at night. like the picture below.

Yellow haired guy is crazy.

 

Digression

I have been asked often,
Is that yellow-haired man really crazy?
Yes..he's real. but postive man.

What's the OPPA?

Let me see that most used Lyrics :
Oppa'n GangNam Style.

The dictionary meaning of OPPA is
"older brother"
but it is used females call older males friendly.

Koreans are sensitive to each other's age difference.
And many girls prefer older men than they are.
The word of oppa is used anywhere, anytime,
between men and women.
(If you are male, Don't call the other man as Oppa.)

So, Oppa'n GanNam style means :
He's flirthing with a woman as a Luxury Man.

Hidden Satires

GangNam Style is fancinatilng and Gentle.
but it's tacky and vulgar.

Let see the pictures.

Psy is wearing summer resort oufit.

↑ Psy's wearing nice outfit with big parasol.
but this place is common playground everywhere.

GangNam style should be Okay even in a snowstorm or any danger.

↑ Psy is bluffing between two ladies even though he's in blizzard.
Because This is GangNam style.

↑Entire body covered Tatto is symbol of Koreans gangsters.
and Psy is pretending to be calm with gangsters.
because This is GangNam style.

Korean style Bus tour : Out of trend

↑ Psy is in a bus that is used for trevel.
This Bus trevel is old trend in Korea.
Many grandma, grandpa still get trip this way, not young people.
Psy is wearing fancy outfit but playing in old type trevel bus.


He sings of the dualities throughout the MV.

In closing..

I think Psy is intended that duality through this song.
Psy seems ridiculous and funny man, but
He's very smart guy.
