Pop Culture (Visual Communication)
Short for Popular Culture
It is entirely out of practices, attitudes that are mainstream given by a society. Heavily influenced by media and social networks as it permeates the everyday lives of a give society.
Young adults and teenagers are the mostly influenced in this culture as they tend like to follow "trend" as a way of getting the up to date styles and movements in the world. The other societies like the religious groups tend to deem them as superficial, corrupted and consumerist, these societies despise the pop culture trend.
Pop culture can change extremely fast or stay awhile for a very long time depending on how big the culture influence the world. The easiest example for this is "K-POP"
K-pop influence is humongous and has lasted from 2009 till today and still growing strong. The main reason behind this the power of social medias like Youtube helps the promotion and infected the younger generation by showing them something new, catchy and colourful.
Social medias like Youtube.com allows them to see the current pop-culture with videos, tutorials and parodies. Website 9gag.com is a humor based website that discuss and focus on pop-culture mainly and also last but not least Facebook.com is the main site that pop-culture expand as teenagers find something interesting and shares with his/her friends slowly but surely creating the possibilities of a upcoming pop-culture.
