You're not alone! I was laughing at my mum just the other day as she didn't know Gangnam Style, which I then played for her, noting it as being one of the most watched YT vids ever... >>Ffwd to streaming news today and I'm like 'Despawho-now?' ? Not that I ever liked Gangnam Style, but at least I still had a toe in the loop back then!
I know that song. I have a 12-year-old daughter. I. HATE. It.
Glad to say I still haven't heard it, and never will.
