The popularity of the song Gangnam Style and how it had nothing to do with PSY

Now we have all heard the song Gangnam style, we have all seen the dance done millions of times and at 2 billion views on youtube and counting, we are all know what impact the song has had on the past 2 years. But if I were to say that PSY had nothing to do with its rise in popularity, except the obvious fact that he made the song and the dance, how would you take that?

Just like every viral song or video on youtube, its the people that make the things popular. Being found on youtube and linked millions and millions of times through facebook and other social media platforms allowed the song to travel to all audiences. Its the people that watched the video more then 2 billion times and recreated their own videos with the dance. Its the people that request the song to be played at weddings and other gatherings. Its a phenomenon that the song has become this popular. Now imagine being the one who owns that song and try to made something better then that, because its what the people expect. Good Luck PSY.
