Popular Culture definition: (commonly known as pop culture) is the totality of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, memes, image, and other phenomena that are deemed preferred per an informational consensus within the mainstream of a given culture.
My definition: Pop culture is based on the trends. Unlike Elite culture, anyone can be involved in pop culture (you don't have to be born into it). A wise woman once said to me that "Pop culture is like Skittles, because as they might be flavorful, they have no substance, and leave you un- satisfied." I completely agree with her. Wise woman indeed.
The image of Marilyn Monroe is a painting done by Andy Warhol. She was an idol in her day and was definitely a trend setting when it came to fashion, music, and acting. The other picture i a collage for the Country Music Awards. The shows pop culture because (1) country music in itself is a culture. and (2) it shows the stars on the red carpet, and the highlights of popular sights to see.
