<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444; line-height: 1.5;">“Popular culture has been defined as everything from “common culture,” to “folk culture,” to “mass culture.” While it has been all of these things at various points in history, in Post-War America, popular culture is undeniably associated with commercial culture and all its trappings: movies, television, radio, cyberspace, advertising, toys, nearly any commodity available for purchase, many forms of art, photography, games, and even group “experiences” like collective comet-watching or rave dancing on ecstasy. While humanities and social science departments before the 1950s would rarely have imagined including anything from the previous list in their curricula, it is now widely acknowledged that popular culture can and must be analyzed as an important part of US material, economic and political culture. “Pop culture” is also one of the US’ most lucrative export commodities, making everything from Levi’s jeans to Sylvester Stallone movies popular on the international market. It would be impossible to do an exhaustive (or even a not-so-exhaustive) survey of all the work being done in and on popular culture, so we have included only representative examples of both. Our bibliographies and links focus on major figures in popular writing and basic categories of popular media after the war.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444;">Say the words ‘Wild Thing’ to almost anyone and they will reply with ‘…you make my heart sing’ thus the nature of popular culture. POP CULTURE in this sense takes a song by The Troggs and turns it into a viral sensation reaching millions of people.The theme of simplicity features in this track as although the song is catchy the line that grabs people is ‘Wild thing…’ two words that automatically cause the corresponding line and tune to enter our heads. At 20 I wasn’t around when this song was originally recorded however I still could sing the lyrics with ease. This causes me to question whether this song specifically is an example of POP CULTURE or whether it has developed from the initial POP explosion to more of an anthem track. POP CULTURE in my opinion is that explosion of something new that is POPULAR for a short spell until it is replaced by another viral sensation. (Citation required) Yasmin Stringer says…</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444;">Pop Culture is surface, it has no distinguishable face, just an area where the latest makeup is applied and swiftly reapplied. With close proximity to the proceeding layer. Daniel Boorstin says “with our unprecedented power to magnify the image and popularise the virtue of heroes, our machinery only multiples and enlarges the shadows of ourselves.(citation required) Jack Pittard says…</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5;">Pop Culture-although big, mercurial, and slippery to define-is really an umbrella term that covers anything currently in fashion, all or most of whose ingredients are familiar to the public-at-large. The new dances are </span><span style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5;">a perfect example… Pop Art itself may mean little to the average man, but its vocabulary…is always familiar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5;"><b>The culture is everything around us, everyone has its own. People with different cultures communicate and teach each other new things and new culture. And then is popular culture, its something that we all understand, that we all like, hate, talk about, watch listen or feel.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5;"><b>Popular culture is more than just pop music and pop art, its in every person itself its something we all do in our life, day up to day.. mass media is a very big part of it, it is a pop culture itself. its like a skeleton of the pop culture, carrying whole body of it and doing the movements. Adverts and pieces of art and all other visuals are like words of popular culture, saying for it self. the more you start thinking of what is actually pop culture, the more u realise that it huge and it keeps growing colourful interpretations of peoples thoughts and imagination..</b></span></div>

It seems all this LAD stuff has just begun to take off. And every group of males in the UK seem to claim that they are the ultimate lads! It doesn’t matter if you’re from Southampton or even Scunthorpe, there will be a group of lads in any pub, bar or club giving it the biggun’. Of course, in their own right, they’re all lads! But what I want to know is this: What is a lad?<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Surely there must be some sort of definition or criteria? Well I’ve done my research and I’ve come up with this concise(ish) answer:</span><span style="background-color: transparent;">“A lad is someone who specialises in crafting and distributing banter of the highest quality.</span><span style="background-color: transparent;">Notoriously most lads are of a youthful age but it is not a defining characteristic. They talk about tits, fannies and sport. And they also love a shandy or two. No drink is out of bounds! Special skills of a lad include, but are not limited to:</span></div>
<ul style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 24px 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Shagging any bird with a pulse;</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Exposing genitalia and getting naked in public places;</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Consuming copious amount of alcohol on a regular basis;</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Getting kicked out of pubs/nightclubs for being overly offensive;</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Binning Pints.”</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Now I’m not saying you have to achieve all these to become a lad. But excelling in all areas will earn you the title of ‘top lad’.<br />

A lad is a male who specialises in creating and distributing exquisite banter. Though most lads are youngish (late teens and early twenties) age is not a defining characteristic and you will find both young lads and old lads. Some special skills of lads include, but are not limited to the following:<br />
<br />
- Binning Pints<br />
- Exposing genitalia and getting naked in public places<br />
- Throwing up after copious alcohol consumption<br />
- Spousal Abuse<br />
- Getting kicked out of pubs/nightclubs for being overly offensive<br />

for me this exhibition, wasn't something that i would call pop art. It is about Britannia, pop, punk, politics and place, but it feels abit out of date. It has something that connects with past allot. And usually pop culture its something that pops out of nowhere and becomes popular. Talking 'mona lisa' again i would say its not classic anymore its pop then.<br />

in Science class growing up, there’s a shiny sterility here that makes

what do u think? is it a pop art?<br />
<br />
Boker gets right into it in a statement on his site:<br />
<em>“This project is an on-going exploration of the roles of art,
nature, the consumer, the institution, product, fabrication, reality,
taxonomy, and our relationships with seemingly insignificant objects and
materials that affect us daily. … I am continually inspired by the
function and treatment of both nature and the unnatural in our
environment, and I continue to explore our understanding of their roles,
and the inherent beauty, humour, and horror that lies within them.” </em><br />

<span style="background-color: #ccffcc; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Futura Md BT'; font-size: 13.5pt;">Pop culture is all around us. It leaps from magazine headings, glows from the cathode ray tubes of our televisions, and flickers across the screens of our mall multiplexes. We swim in it like fish in water, usually oblivious to its effects. Yet how often do we really think about it critically?</span></span></div>

these are the pictures i found on line by typing in 'pop culture' it gives a clear idea of its stereotype thinking of it being something very bright and colourful. Something that's "POP" into your eyes. Not much of the details and again bright colours! Playful and with humour.</div>
