In a neutral battlefield. CIS is off. GO!

I think Gangnam style is fun *shrug*

I've gotten a number or 2 from doing the Gangnam Shuffle in the bar.

They're both stupid as hell.

Kids nowadays are too young to remember that this Gangnam crap is just as ridiculous as the Macarena was back in the day.

STOOOPID! fads should die sooner, imo.

Gangnam was on purpose and Macerana was a fail.

Gangnam Style hands down.

HAMMA! LOL!

I prefer the Macerana...

I think Gangnam style is fun but whatever.

What comic character could you see busting out a gangnam style dance after a win lol?

I was probably in the third grade when the macerana was at its peak. Even then I thought it was garbage.

Gangham Style felt more organic because it was just this crazy Asian rapper who happened to be discovered on youtube. The Macerena was force fed a bit more clearly, because it was during a time where social media wasn't ubiquitous, so we were at the mercy of record labels a lot more.

Obviously both are formulaic and pretty cheesy. But Psy wins imo.

Psy's has some social commentary in it in the original Korean, too (no-one who's Gangnam style would actually *call* themselves Gangnam style!).


Plus, like, a gajillion parodies, many of which are great. You want MIT students doing it? Transformers? Soldiers? Deadpool? Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China *with the original Lo Pan actor*? They're all out there.

The old dude from big trouble in little China (aka Uncle Benny) was doing gangnam style? Hilarious lol.

We all lose.

gangnam style is catchy as ****, and the video is crazy. pure gold.

i was old enough when macarena came out that it actually felt... weird.

John Carpenter also presented this at Screamfest

IMO Gangnam Style, as many times as it's been viewed on Youtube, isn't a tenth of what the Macarena was back in the day.

The vast majority of the adult population today I would bet has never heard of Gangnam style, whereas I think you'd be hard pressed to find any age group today (or then) that isn't at least somewhat familiar with the Macarena

That may be somewhat true given the fact that people have more control over their viewing/listening experiences now then they did back then. But the social media factor has to be touched on as well. FB, tweeter etc. You'll definitely here about it there.

Wolverine did Gangnam Style, it wins.
