So what exactly is “pop culture”? Pop culture, short for popular culture, refers to the collection of ideas, beliefs, trends, and activities that are widely recognized or enjoyed by a large segment of the general public at a particular point in time. It encompasses various forms of entertainment, such as music, movies, television shows, literature, fashion, art, sports, internet memes, and celebrity gossip. Pop culture is constantly evolving and influenced by societal trends, technological advancements, and the interests and preferences of the masses. It often reflects the attitudes, values, and tastes of a specific era or generation and serves as a means of social identification and shared experience among individuals.
