Pop Culture
Wikipedia defines Pop Culture as the totality of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, images and other phenomena that are deemed preferred per an informal consensus within the mainstream of a given culture, especially Western culture of the early to mid 20th century and the emerging global mainstream of the late 20th and early 21st century. Heavily influenced by mass media, this collection of ideas permeates the everyday lives of the society.
Is pop culture a good thing? That depends on your viewpoint. If you are in the business of making movies, music and technology that is considered part of the popular culture, it's great. If you are a parent, teacher of classic literature or a clergy person, probably not.
I personally feel that our culture as a whole is being dragged down by the asinine antics of a few that the media harps on incessantly. {{Cough ~ Lindsey Lohan, Tiger Woods}} But that's just me. Feel differently? Write your own page.
