People who are actually from Gangnam never proclaim that they are-it's only the posers and wannabes that put on these airs and say that they are "Gangnam Style"-so this song is actually poking fun at those kinds of people who are trying very hard to be something that they're not. Psy likened the Gangnam District to Beverly Hills, California, and said in an interview that he intended in a twisted sense of humor by claiming himself to be "Gangnam Style" when everything about the song, dance, looks, and the music video is far from being such a high class: "Gangnam Style" is a South Korean neologism that refers to a lifestyle associated with the Gangnam District of Seoul, where people are trendy, hip, and exude a certain supposed "class." The term was listed in Time's weekly vocabulary list as a manner associated with lavish lifestyles in Seoul's Gangnam district.
