Pop culture. The mere phrase brings to mind over a million anecdotes from iconic movies, TV shows, music videos, award ceremonies, and much more. Pop culture can be broadly defined as a curation of noteworthy moments and events from various fields of entertainment and social change.

Pop culture references have done a lot more than providing cool catchphrases and intelligent innuendos. It has helped diverse people across the globe cultivate friendships as well as a shared sense of belonging over anything ranging from a widely watched Netflix series to their cringe-inducing former Facebook personas from a decade ago.

The unique content created by several public figures has played a major role in their rise to Pop Culture Superstardom. This includes a vast spectrum ranging from Ellen DeGeneres’ all A-lister selfie, Royal Weddings, Tobey Maguire’s emo dance in the Spiderman movie, glow-ups, or even Donald Trump becoming the President of the United States.

An interesting observation about pop culture moments is that they span an inconceivable variety of fields – politics, music, acting, dance, comedy shows, science, food, and countless others. This creates a unique opportunity for individuals to become more aware of issues and happenings everywhere and share this information and their thoughts on the same with others.

As such experiences are passed on from one person to the other, it becomes responsible for a certain degree of reflection. It makes one ponder the story behind such pop culture moments. As a result, that which was initially regarded as a mere moment of entertainment translates into shared life experiences and moments of togetherness, connecting and celebrating like-minded people, so you’ll know that you’re not alone out there.

So, until we meet,

May the Force be with you!
