Pop culture is what is popular in society at the time that the ideas come out to the public. The majority of people also will decide on what they feel pop culture is. Pop culture is seen in movies, TV shows, music etc. Mainstream music is a large part of pop culture because you see it a lot and hear it a lot if your listening to radio stations such as Kiss 98.5, Star 102.5, Z 101 because they play the top 40 hits everyday all day long. An example of this is the F**U song because it is in the movie She’s out of my League and it is also on the commercial for the movie the Dilemma.
The media shows people in a way that everyone is suppose to look a certain way. Women are most often portrayed in most TV shows to be thin, attractive, sexily dressed etc…. and they get what they want or their life seems to be going great. Many shows don’t show the average person and that they have struggles. When people compare themselves to these TV shows they are living in a false reality and life will seem a lot harder.
Although, the majority of people do not always agree upon pop culture it is a big part of the American life and even if we don’t realize it we as people get sucked into it one way or another.
