Pop Culture

Pop culture, short for popular culture, refers to the set of ideas, practices, beliefs, and phenomena that are prevalent and widely accepted by the general public at a given point in time. It encompasses a range of cultural elements such as music, fashion, film, television, literature, and social media trends that capture the collective interests and tastes of the masses. Pop culture is often characterized by its accessibility and ability to evolve rapidly, reflecting the influences of society, technology, and interconnectivity.

Additionally, pop culture frequently intersects with commercialism, as it is often shaped by market forces and promoted through mass media.
