Fan Nickname: Because of their horse-riding dance steps and the appearance of horses in the music video and artworks (like the main image), many people affectionately called Gangnam Style as the "Horse Dance".
Fountain of Memes: The video quickly became one in the Anglosphere thanks to its trove of memorably strange and comedic imagery. From full-video parodies to riffs on individual scenes to the horse-riding dance becoming synonymous with Memetic Mutation in the early 2010s, almost every part of the video became the subject of popular jokes online.
