With the advent of social media platforms and online media content disseminated by various video sharing sites, there is no doubt that online viral videos are getting along from online to TV, Radio and other forms of media. Viral videos that spread over YouTube from “Call me maybe”, to the Korean craze “Gangnam”, to the urban dance “Harlem Shake” and the recent Korean-pop craze “Gwiyomi”. There is no doubt that people are hooked and tries to create their own version of such viral hits. It’s not bad to get influenced by such Pop-culture though the cons is that, it makes its viewers get the feeling that it is more of a line of novelty and spoof that eventually if listened or viewed a lot is sickening. To you, how do you find such Viral Videos? Please share your thoughts.

I am really not like other people who would be watching those kinds of videos. Just hearing my kids and my husband's nephew and niece sing them over and over, drives me crazy already!

for me, it is not irritating. For me, people are really connected and they appreciate what others do.. That's why they make videos of themselves. It just means that they like it very much and they like that many people like it. Social media is a big help for all of us because it connects us.

On a positive note, it does helps in putting inspiration most especially from pop-culture. but we really can't please a lot of people... some might hate a cover of a viral video, some might like it. Thanks for your response...

No offense guys but personally, I do not like them and I find it irritable. Well the songs and dance craze is pretty good and I appreciate them but for the fact that people seems to be crazy about them makes me very irritable for some reason.

Yeah you are so right about this! I don't get annoyed by the viral video, the irritating thing though is somehow once it's been like played over and over time it's quite monotonous and people mimic it in an irritating way... LOL Thanks for your response...
