"I think what this fellow is tapping into...is the fact that people don't want any meaning right now. It is just sort of like a drug and that seems to be what most people seem to want right now. Not reality, not feeling, not meaning. The meaning is that it means nothing."
—Fox News psychiatrist Keith Ablow on PSY's 'Gangnam Style'

First, Gangnam Style came out over four months before the election. Second, Gangnam is a district in Seoul that is considered trendy, so at a basic level Gangnam Style means being trendy. It's a song about a girlfriend, and PSY spent a month working with his choreographer coming up with a dance that had an animal style that PSY thought would meet the high expectations of a cool dance that his fans had for him.

The U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, '... hailed the song as a "force for world peace."' Psy said in interviews that Gangnam is a lot like Beverly Hills, and that the people from there who are cool and trendy don't announce that they're from Gangnam, the people who do say they are from there are posers and wannabees.

So when Keith stares in to the void, the void looks back and says, "WTF? Get a life, dude! It's a song and a dance, nothing more!"
