Ah, it similarly explains why Gangnam Style was such a big hit compared to that artist's other works. My understanding is that Gangnam is a very affluent area (neighborhood?), especially as compared to some others, and the song was intending to speak out in some way against this inequality.
(I don't remember where I heard this, so take it with a grain of salt; I'm not sure how accurate it is.)
It mostly refers to people who act/look rich but aren't. Which is why its called "Gangnam Style", buying/doing shit to look affluent like people in Gangnam.
Korea has so much that BS, its extremely obnoxious.
Most don't recognize the visual references but every scene in that video is from a famous movie, show, or popular music video but remade with garbage blowing instead of snow or whatever. So it ends up being sharp criticism of society as a whole.
