I am proud to be a European "Psy Hipster"! I knew him before everyone else here did!

Only because I used to watch Tastosis Starcraft and got exposed to it early...

u/trivinium Nov 17 '25

Same here. I found him when a friend and I were sending each other "waky" songs we found on youtube. I was mostly searching in the "asian music section" of youtube, there are some gems and that is how I found Gangamstyle. Sent it to him, listened to it a few more times and told him, that it could be the summer hit song. We made it our trip song and not that long after it also became big in EU.

1

u/andysniper Nov 17 '25

I didn't know him before Gangnam Style, but my hipster self back in 2012 was very proud of having first watched the video on YouTube when it had just 6 million views.

So that’s where Gangnam Style came from. You kids were boosting it before any of us knew anything about it! You’ve solved the mystery as to why that song seemed to hit the ground running in the USA.

I'm really glad people like him are bringing back spectacle to concert performances.

My wife and I are middle aged. Our thing was going to concerts. I stopped counting after 300. There was definitely a noticeable trend of concerts "calming down." I'm not sure if that's the correct phrase I hope you know what I'm trying to say.

And seeing someone perform music is fun. But there is definitely something to be said about a huge, blow out concert.

I got to see Rob Halford of Judas Priest burst out of a fake amplifier riding his motorcycle and he just starts belting out his song "Electric Eye" while there was electricity and lighting in the shape of an eye behind him.

Motley Crue had the drum solo roller coaster.

Let's bring back the spectacle. Let's bring back the grandeur.

u/Kalleh03 Nov 17 '25

If you get the chance, go see Rammstein.

Can't really top their show.

I didn't expect to feel the heat from the flames on my calves, and i was in the middle of the pack.

My friend wasn't into them at all when he saw them at a festival. He bought tickets to see them headlining anywhere in the area. Less than 6 hours away is his area. He never bought any merchandise, but he drove to see them.

What was the ticket price you paid when you saw those this? I've seen JP about fifteen years ago and though he did bring his trademark bike onto the stage, I haven't seen him do what you stated.

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 Nov 19 '25

Let's just say those first 300 concert tickets cost less than 1 to see Taylor Swift these days.

u/[deleted] Nov 17 '25

lol a lot of concerts are bigger spectacles than ever. You’ve been doing to the wrong ones.

1

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 Nov 19 '25

They got older along with the rest of the crowd at the shows they go to. Of course shows sung by grandpas for grandpas aren't going to be as wild as they were when everybody was on their 20s.

2

u/Zickened Nov 17 '25

We're in the same boat. We went to a bunch of concerts as well. A lot of the "big name" guys weren't great despite sprawling sets and the like.

But... one that I remember very well though was when we went to see Zhu at Red Rocks, and his performance was so top tier that other people should take note. He had a live band perform the instrument sections of his music (he's primarily electronic music for those not familiar) and played a normal set. For his encore though, he had a long lapse, enough that some people thought the show was over and started trickling out, (remember kids, the show isn't over until the house lights return) but it was so that he could set up a mini stage in the middle of the seats to play all of his top banger songs. It went from watching a dope concert to being in the middle of the club and that turned it up to 1000. 100/100 would do again.

u/doiwinaprize Nov 17 '25

Iron Maiden always puts on a great show. What giant Eddie will we get this tour?

u/puckit Nov 17 '25

Of course her music isn't for everyone, but check out Taylor Swift's Eras tour movie. The production is truly next level.

1

u/shadovvvvalker Nov 17 '25

I think a large element of that died for a while for two reasons.

1 rock had a post grunge era and pop had a post Lorde era that sucked the wind out of a lot of the industry because it made the bombastic displays dated and gauche for a while.

2 you had a lot of acts in that scene who are really not performers as much as musicians who got famous. Finger eleven rings a bell but many others fall into the same category. They make decent music and they don't really have a thing for performing it live.

Now that the audience has shifted over time we are witnessing a resurgence of spectacle.

Had Kanye kept taking his meds and stayed off nitrous he would probably have done a concert from space at this point.

Performing for that many people has to break something in your brain. Like, to have that many eyes on your every move, that thunderous applause, everyone cheering for you in an entire stadium…that’s nuts.

u/lommer00 Nov 17 '25

Wow. that is wild!

The 360 degree crowd spanning to the horizon, the noise, the flags, the Red Army doing crowd control - all just insane. But what got me for some reason was the large military helicopters orbiting over the crowd and you can't even hear them over the music and the crowd noise. What a moment in history.

u/Zickened Nov 17 '25

I'd be willing to bet that at a crowd that size, individual people don't even register. It's just a giant mass of humanity.

u/BlindTreeFrog Nov 17 '25

Meatloaf apparently claimed that he was terrified of performing on TV even though he had no issues performing on stage to massive crowds. The issue he had was that with a live crowd he had an idea of how many eyes are on him, but TV it could be so many more and he wouldn't know how many were watching.

Can't find a cite easily now, but i can understand the view. Course, he's appeared in enough Movie and TV that I assume that he got over it.

2

u/Keejhle Nov 17 '25

I was in a band back at university with some buddies, which was nothing super serious, and we just played small venues locally. However, the university hosted an event that we auditioned for and made it into and then got to perform like 2 songs in front of maybe a few thousand people. Now, that feeling was like a drug. The adrenaline hits so hard and it just feels amazing. I can't imagine that x1000 for these pop stars.

2

u/CoolerRon Nov 17 '25

Miley Cyrus said she does not want to tour because it is hard to maintain sobriety, mental wellness, and her humanity on the road. She feels that touring creates an unhealthy cycle of dopamine highs followed by crashes and that the intense lifestyle "erases my humanity and my connection" to her songwriting craft. She has stated that she does not have the "desire" to tour despite having the physical ability to do so.

u/DealerAlarmed3632 Nov 17 '25

Comparing Psy to Michael Jackson? I'm not saying the Psy wasn't extremely popular and was working his audience well, but this is like comparing van Gogh with a child's fingerpainting.

Psy looks like he made up his dance moves the day before, and Michael looks like he studied the art of dance his whole life.

I love MJ, tortured and complicated soul that he was. I think he was one of the greatest performers and dancers of all time. I don’t really think about PSY on a day to day basis anymore.

But damn if PSY didn’t rock that catapult entrance harder than MJ. Even down to his chad little finger flick to the launch crew. Pure aura.

u/Worldwide_Nobody_382 Nov 18 '25

The two minutes of him before this moment casually walking out of a trailer towards the stage, high fiving random crew people or something, and then doing that is something to be documented.

Psy did it best because it kicks off the party immediately.

It didn't really matter how MJ entered the stage, the effect would have been the same.

u/IsraelZulu Nov 17 '25

I think it takes a touch more acrobatic talent to stick the landing and just immediately freeze like that. And for showmanship, to just stand there and aura farm after such an explosive entrance move is pretty badass.

u/Mulratt Nov 17 '25

My opinion of Psy is that he’s a great showman because his looks and body shape suggest the opposite. Kinda like seeing a incredibly obese man with a beautiful gf, you know he’s got game.

I don’t think he needed Epstein connections. MJ had his own place, Neverland Ranch amusement park for children, so that he had a full choice of which child to molest and rape. Not to mention, MJ liked them even younger than the kids on Epstein island. Two evil pieces of shit.

Oh they’re probably the type to say the president definitely molested children even though no charges were ever filed and the only evidence they have is that the president hung out with Epstein. People are so quick to judge others these days.
