Revisited 02/19/24 5:55:17 AM #19:	I still remember thinking it crazy when gangman style first reached a billion views in 2012, it felt like the most "wtf is this song" moment because you couldn't understand why it was trending. Usually songs trend when they're featured in movies, or a superbowl commercial, but that video went from 0 to 60 in a second. And it was more absurd/impressive back then because while 2012 was still internet heavy and social media heavy, it wasn't near the gigantic number today that multiplied tenfold.
