Media. Currently Browsing: Media Susan Benesch is one of the leading thinkers on countering hate speech online. She’s a fellow at the Berkman Center this year, and I’m terribly sorry to be missing her talk at Berkman this afternoon. (Instead, I’m watching from home so I can be primary caretaker for my son for a couple of weeks while Rachel gets to travel.)
She teaches international human rights at American University and is the founder of the Dangerous Speech Project, which tries to understand the spread of speech that incites people to violence. Susan’s talk is available online and I’ve tried to blog it remotely while cursing my inability to teleport across the state. The talk is wonderfully titled “Troll Wrastling for Beginners: Data-Driven Methods to Decrease Hatred Online”. Unlike most conventional online wisdom, Benesch believes you should engage with the trolls, in part because it may be the most successful path to countering dangerous speech. So what about “don’t feed the trolls”? Customer Reviews: Gangnam Style. Ohio University Marching 110- Gangnam Style.

The Oregon Duck - Gangnam Style Parody. Catching the Korean wave. Focus Posted on 06:16 PM, September 20, 2012 By Anna Patricia Valerio, Special Features Writer THE PACKAGED PERFECTION that Korean pop stars offer and the crazed adulation they inspire among their fans may be easy to sneer at, but as South Korea’s biggest cultural export that was estimated to pull in a cool $4 billion last year alone, the Korean invasion can be a lesson for countries hoping to cash in on their culture. Korean Cultural exports : Pop group Girls Generation The heady popularity of Korean stars was perhaps most apparent when the nine-member all-girl group Girls’ Generation, or SNSD as they are more famously known, made the news for turning supposedly steely military men into screaming fans when they visited an army base for Christmas last year. The so-called Korean wave, or hallyu, has found ways to seep into other countries, making it a stepping stone for anyone hoping to understand the South Korean culture and economy.

Why “Gangnam Style” Didn’t Make It Big in Japan. If you’re tired of Korean rapper PSY’s ubiquitous viral hit, “Gangnam Style,” it may be time to pack your bags for Japan. It’s an unsual paradox: Korean pop, a.k.a. K-Pop, is huge in Japan as it is elsewhere in Asia, with artists like Girls’ Generation and TVXQ regularly drawing teenyboppers’ ears.
But for a variety of reasons, “Gangnam Style” — which rose to #2 on the U.S. Billboard charts and has been viewed more than 460 million times on YouTube — just isn’t all that big in Japan. (MORE: Seoul Music: The World Is Finally Ready for K-Pop) Maybe it is because no one has just been paying attention all that much. “Over the past month, Japanese media rarely reported about “Gangnam Style” fever,” reports the English-language version of the South Korean news site Dong-a Ilbo: Intereretsingly PSY, a.k.a.

"Oppan Gangnam style," the hook of the song "Gangnam Style," can literally translate to "I'm Gangnam style," in which "oppa" is a Korean referring expression used by females to call older males such as older male friends or older brothers. However, the narrator in the song refers to himself in the third person. It's annoying and creepy most of the time, right? But in this song, it was intentionally used to make him look ridiculous.
"Oppan" is not a single word but a noun phrase, a shortened form of "oppa + neun.

By now, most Southern Californians, if not the entire world where there is an internet connection, should know, in one way or the other, Psy, a South-Korean rapper, and his infectious K-Pop smash, "Gangnam Style. " It's rare that a South Korean musician breaks through the American-cultural divide and finds his way into the MTV Video Music Awards, Chelsea Lately and the Ellen Degeneres Show, but Psy's music video and dance has caused a frenzy in the States.

What Makes A Video “Viral”? “Viral video” is one of those buzz words that gets thrown around a lot but nobody is really sure what it means.
I mean, what exactly constitutes a viral video? How many views does it need to be considered “viral”? How quickly does it have to rise in viewership? In this post we’ll deal with a number of factors that relate to whether or not a video is viral, including viewership, buzz, parody and longevity. Viewership Let’s deal with the question of views first. Of course, reserving the title of “viral” for videos that have 5 million plus views may seem a little bit strict to some. The videos that pull in one million views and then level off aren’t the videos that are remembered. Buzz Of course, views aren’t the only things that determine whether or not a video is “viral”.

Youthful voice: "Pop culture equals globalization" » Northwest Asian Weekly | By Michael Chu SYLP STUDENT Michael Chu Popular culture is everywhere. Generally, it consists of music, fashion, mass media, Internet, and celebrities. Pop culture defines how we dress, how we interact, how we find entertainment, and how we spend our leisure time.
The influence of culture on globalization affects virtually everyone and signifies the growth of development on a worldwide scale. Today, the fundamentals of life and culture are significantly different than those of before, all thanks to the invention of social networking and accessibility to instant communication. In this day and age, the Internet is one of the most dramatic influences on pop culture.
This has brought forth a more culturally interactive world. We are connected to each other everywhere, anywhere, and at any time. The Internet is also a powerful tool, capable of causing riots, revolts, and rebellion overnight through the vast amount of people. Finally, pop culture symbolizes the globalization in world culture. Psy - Gangnam Style: Kpop Music Monday. UHHHH! GANGNAM STYLE! Haven’t seen this glorious, glorious video yet? Get ready to hear what is going to be played all over Korea for the next six months: Holy freak!
Wasn’t that amazing? Really, this has the potential to be one of the biggest songs of the year, similar to how UV’s “Itaewon Freedom” was so adored last year. It’s just so freaking fun, and so non-serious, and Kpop could really use that sometimes, you know? Now, we know that 90% of you, according to our stats, are outside of Korea, so you probably don’t know about Gangnam all too well. So, when we heard the name of Psy’s song, we thought “Gangnam Style” would talk about the superficiality of the area, but we were surprised. Ok so that bit on Gangnam was probably more confusing than edifying. OH! PSY - GANGNAM STYLE (강남스타일) M/V. The Worlds of Viral Video | Watch Off Book Online. Pop culture. Popular culture.
