Are you suggesting that Gangnam style is anything but catchy, entertaining, and brilliant satire?

I don't think these two things are similar in the way I suspect you believe, other than that they are popular.

The point I was making was that popularity does not equal quality. This doesn't mean I think gangnam style is particularly bad, but is it the best?

I think very little can be gaged from the amount of views something gets on the internet, be it the daily mail or gangnam style.

gangnam style is a deeply insightful (though i don't know myself if it is accurate) critique of korean culture. it's not necessarily popular because it's insightful, but definitely a bad analogy in your case
