Meaning of Oppa Gangnam Style: "Gangnam Style" is a Korean neologism that refers to a lifestyle associated with the Gangnam district[14] of Seoul,[15] where people are trendy, hip and exude a certain supposed "class". The term was listed in Time's weekly vocabulary list as a manner associated with lavish lifestyles in Seoul's Gangnam district.[16] Psy likened the Gangnam District to Beverly Hills, California, and said in an interview that he intended a twisted sense of humor by claiming himself to be "Gangnam Style" when everything about the song, dance, looks, and the music video is far from being such a high class.[17] People who are actually from Gangnam never proclaim that they are—it's only the posers and wannabes that put on these airs and say that they are "Gangnam Style" — so this song is actually poking fun at those kinds of people who are trying so hard to be something that they're not. —Psy[18]

The song talks about "the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild."[19] The song's refrain "오빤 강남 스타일 (Oppan Gangnam style)" has been translated as "Big brother is Gangnam style", with Psy referring to himself;[20][21] "Oppa" is a Korean expression used by females to refer to an older male friend or older brother.[22] I got that explanation from wikipedia :)
