A lot of the time I find that online/ internet culture is taken completely wrong by the rest of the world and pop culture. A prime example of this is Gangnam Style, a korean song by PSY. It became popular on the internet and it's music video went viral because of how ridiculous the dance is and how little sense the music video made. People were watching the video and showing all their friends because it was hilariously stupid. Pop culture however, like the media, took the instant popularity of the video as an indication that everyone actually really likes it. Now I'm not saying it's a bad song, or that I or the internet community do not like it...I'm just saying that it was not made popular because we like it. It was made popular because it is ridiculous.
     The media took it so far as to think that having the hosts of the Country Music Awards, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, do the Gangnam Style dance AT the CMA awards this year. They did it to be funny, and although the crowd cheered, there were a lot of looks given to the camera that said "this is weird," and in my opinion it was. Why would dancing to a Korean pop song be an appropriate thing for the hosts to do at an American country music venue? I just don't understand.
