There's also little speaker next to it that plays Gangnam Style on repeat 24/7
So that one speaker took over for the entire world when we were done playing it 24/7, collectively?
That's kind of inspiring. You go little speaker! βΊοΈ
There was a particular statue of two arms hugging representing MLK Jr and his wife Corretta that inspired the exact opposite feelings, apparently, as many onlookers mistakenly thought it was something more obscene.
It's actually all four. I can see how one might confuse it for something obscene without the context.
If you ask me, I think we need to make obscene statues hip again. Bring back the priapus statues!
What is all four, tf are you talking about?
"Gangnam Style" (Korean: κ°λ¨μ€νμΌ; pronounced [kaΕ.nam sΙ―.tΚ°a.il]) is a K-pop song by South Korean singer Psy, released on July 15, 2012,
Gangham style is over a decade old
So are you
I am even older
Impossible
And now you're older still
...TIIIIIIIIIIMMME!
Is marching on
And TIIIIIIIIIIME...
Shots fired.
This is one of those times where I'm not surprised at all. I think I'd have guessed it's older than that.

You did not have to do me dirty like that
It was the most popular song in my elementary school, I'm in university now.
Sometimes you have to embrace Death Of The Artist and just enjoy things for what they are, rather than what they were intended to be. If you stand around thinking about the historical context of the Arc de Triomphe or the Great Wall of China or the Hoover Dam, you're going to have a bad time.
Empty Head. No Thoughts. Just be at peace and enjoy what is.
Death of the author is a thing.
Whatever meaning you derive from a piece of art personally is just as valid as the intended meaning
Donβt worry. The sculptor made sure you canβt misinterpret their work.
Pack it up, "artists," the solution to viewer interpretation has been found.
No no no.
In school in higher education we had to interpret poems.
I am definitely sure, that neither the author's opinion or my opinion are relevant. It is only the teacher's opinion that is relevant.
(Do I need the /s?)
Be me, a literal reading scifi fan in 11th grade English having to read Jane Eyre and find all the damn symbolism. When all I saw was a 19th century romance novel. Blech.
Fortunately in English classes (I learned English at school) we read Macbeth. There's a lot of layers to Shakespeare - for example a lot of allusions which you'll only understand when you know about the time it was written in. And our English teacher dragged in a native speaker to help out with conversation, who was a student living in my town.
In German (my native language) however, we were presented a poem without not enough context about the author and had to answer "what's the meaning of this". Most of the German teachers I had were boring, lazy or both.
Your literature problem - I had that in German, Thomas Mann's "Der Tod in Venedig". Yeah, I as a teenager was so eager to read about the homoerotic thoughts of an older man traveling to Venice and lusting about a young boy. Yes, of course it's symbolic but - fuuuuck me, really? Do I need to read that.
Mark Twain has written an essay about the "awful German Language" (I don't agree). Amongst other things he complained about long sentences.
Ha! He know NOTHING! He had not seen the works of Thomas Mann. Thomas Mann must have been hugely intelligent. He managed to write a single sentence that is too long for a single fucking book page. With a random number of subclauses in between. Exploiting all the cleartext encryption mechanisms the German language allows! With the most boring content a teenager in the height of puberty can not relate to.
I still have a visceral hate for Thomas Mann. In my 40s I thought I'd give that book another chance. Nope. Still hate it.
Ah, soon I'm 40 years past school and I still get PTSD about it.
I'm not sure what level of sarcasm this operating on and if you think romances can't have symbolism or not
Loss.
Except that
I was going to comment the same. The best art is where each person can derive their own meaning. Even better when you find new significance every time you see it.

Someone told me that Oppa means 'Uncle', but in the particular district of Gangnam the word Oppa/Uncle also means Pimp.
So it's basically a song based on a pretty bad pun. I'll protect you like an uncle, and by Uncle I mean Pimp.
EDIT: English speakers likely would do better with the translation as 'Ill be like a Father to you, a real Las Vegas Pimp Daddy (where Daddy is a word that means Father but has more Pimp connotations, and Las Vegas being famous for legalized prostitution).
It's definitely debauchery. But we likely have memorials to Austin Powers and other such pop culture icons, so it's understandable.
Now someone please make an English version with βVegas Daddy Style!β π€£π€£
I donβt speak Korean but most sources I could find say Oppa means βolder brotherβ but also women call their boyfriend oppa. Also Gangnam is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Seoul. Oppa Gangnam Style would mean Gangnam boyfriend or rich boyfriend or sugar daddy.
Heeey, sexy ladies
My first thought was: "Oh nice, they've made a statue on how to not measure your own pulse."
