Abstract

Popular, or “pop,” culture includes a diversity of media products that both create and reflect public opinion. While pop culture is always permeable to multiple influences, it tended to be more monolithic in the past than today, as it was promulgated almost entirely by network television, powerful metropolitan daily newspapers, popular journals, the music industry, and popular radio. Today, it is disseminated by all of these media as well as by widely shared Internet memes, blogs, and digital communication of all sorts, including Facebook, Twitter, various other social media sites, and cable television.
