My anthropology textbook defines culture as "that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, arts, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society."
Or, basically, everything. We're immersed in culture; we're drenched in it. And if you have the internet, if you're reading this, it's likely that you have the luxury of living in a culture broad enough to have sub-cultures and cult phenomena, entertainment and content that reaches mass amounts of people, and thanks to that, pop culture.
I love popular culture.
Pop culture is just that: aspects of our culture that are popular. Television is a big part of pop culture, as is music, art, fashion, modern science, politics - pretty much everything that's cool. Wikipedia reckons it's often determined by mass media, and I'm inclined to agree. Point being, if you like something, it's probably an aspect of pop culture. Pop culture connects us all through common belief. Better than religion: we've got Tina Fey!
This is my life in popular culture. Maybe it's yours, too?
