Pop culture is very attractive, especially for teenagers. When we were child we also loved and followed pop cultures and the trends. But did you notice a big change in this culture? It's not a 'Culture' anymore rather I name it an 'Industry'. This pop industry is making billions just by influencing us to believe and live the way they think it's profitable. But we are far away from realizing that!
I'm not saying I'm superior in this or I can get myself away from this influence. We all are becoming part of the industry actively or passively. I just googled the array of genres of POP culture. and here what I got which are the most noticeable- popular music, print, cyberculture, sports, entertainment, leisure, fads, advertising, and television. Just take a name like Music and notice how it changes over time. or sports or television; anything.
The problem with our pop culture, as most of us know, is that they have done very damaging things to our souls. It's not just about the clothes we wear or the music we listen to. Most of us spend a lot of money on pop culture. In fact, it's a very addictive profession. When we get addicted, it's a long term addiction with many consequences. You feel addicted for years without thinking much
You will most probably find 'Sexism' everywhere. On our cyberculture, on our entertainment. You will get to see more skin everywhere you look at from advertisements to music or even art. Just watch any 'Billon views' music and you will understand what I'm talking about. It sometimes made me feel worried, what standard we are creating, what we are gonna show to our kids and what ethics this culture are actually carrying. I don't know the answer. I don't even know how to get rid of them properly. Coz, I can save myself but maybe not you, if you don't feel that way.
But, if we can realize this is damaging, it's lowering down our ethics, making a false standard, creating unrealistic images; maybe then we can take action against them and make our won way to skip them. But as I have said earlier we are far away for this realization.
