What is Pop culture?
Popular culture is the entirety of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, memes, images and other phenomena that are preferred by an informal consensus within the mainstream of a given culture. Heavily influenced by mass media, this collection of ideas permeates the everyday lives of the society.
