Something that makes me wonder is that I've never heard anyone call LMFAO's music "silly novelties." Even though they were just as silly, and most people have only heard of two songs by them. What's the difference, do you think? The only thing I can think of is race.

Really?

I don't know, I would definitely say that LMFAO's songs are silly novelties, and I don't know of anyone really taking their music at all seriously. They might not explicitly say that it's novelty, but I don't think the attitude is that different from Psy.

Can't speak for anyone else though, I guess.

It feels to me like Sexy and I Know It gets treated as "look at these two guys pelvic thrusting in speedos, lol" and Gangnam Style gets treated as "look at this wacky foreign guy and his horse dance, lol Asians."

When it got to the point where hecklers were yelling at any and all Korean entertainers to "shut up and just do the horse dance," you could tell they perceived it as an "Asian thing" and not just a "funny thing."

Okay yeah those people are racist as hell

I'm just saying, the level of seriousness that is appropriate for Gangam Style is not that high. It's a novelty song with a silly dance. Don't be a racist but also if people don't take it seriously, it doesn't mean they're racists, unless they're racists.

I think what the OP was going for was not to take the song itself seriously per se, but to recognize it for what it is. There are people who genuinely believe that PSY is a lol silly foreigner, because lol silly foreigners do lol silly entertainment things, and see Gangnam as an example of that... as opposed to viewing him like Weird AL or LMFAO who get credit for being stupid-popular on purpose.

PSY is good at silly, catchy, entertaining pop; he's been doing it for over a decade. But a lot of people don't see him as a musician with an intentional style meant to entertain, just a silly foreigner doing a laughable silly foreign thing.

If you're not one of them, great, but I don't think you were who OP was talking about.

This is a great post regard to context. Thank you, I have learned something today.

A lot more people have heard of Psy than LMFAO. It's very likely people would say their songs are silly novelties if they actually heard them.

This seems like a false dichotomy to me. I've never heard LMFAO referred to as anything but a goofy novelty act. There have been black novelty songs, white novelty songs...
