In today's society, pop culture controls everything. It controls our entire life without anyone realizing it unless it is taken away. What people hear in songs or see on television tends to be interpreted. The slang you hear in songs becomes part of most people's daily vocabulary. The lyrics of this generation's songs have become increasingly vulgar. YouTube videos are also very trending in popular culture today. These videos can grow to have millions of views. Almost every question you could ask can be found on YouTube, which has made it much easier for people to teach and learn new things they're curious about. Films also have a huge impact on society and have always been very important in popular culture. So many movies are made and even the old ones are still a big hit today. Music is one of the largest forms of popular culture. We listen to it in our cars, at home, on our phones, and in many other ways. Most teenagers spend up to five hours a day listening to music. It is known that most teenagers will listen to their music choices as a form of expressing themselves. Some also listen to specific songs because they relate to a time in their life when something happened to them or to tell a story when they can't find the words to say it. It's difficult to find songs that convey positive messages today because the songs that attract many listeners are the kind of music that's a little vulgar. For adults, we want positive messages to be heard, not by everyone, but by the majority. Regardless, music is one of the most important forms of popular culture today, whether it's country, jazz, or hip-hop. They are all so different from each other that makes our country so deviant. Every… medium of paper… friends. Films show how much generations have changed. Remember when they were colored black and white? Popular culture has always been huge. Although morals and values have changed a lot over the generations, they are still very similar, more so than we think. Everything we do in this generation's society is much more high tech. It seems almost unreal how far our music, social networks and even our films have come since the early 1900s. “In my parents' generation, rebellion was pop culture. Now it isn't anymore." More has changed than we think, but not everything is so bad. Works Cited Graff, Gerald and Cathy Birkenstein. "Watching TV makes you smarter."
