Popular Culture Some people would say that pop culture has heavily influenced art on society today and has influenced people since the beginning of time. Pop culture is anything having to do with things that are popular in our society. As a child I can remember waking up every Saturday morning to catch my favorite TV show or going out on Sundays to grab some pizza and watch my favorite sports team play. My family was always into music so luckily as I was hitting my teen years I was able to watch some of my favorite bands with my parents.

Pop Culture is so simple to come across but also so complex with all its different hot trends. We have easy access to it and pop culture definitely influences the way we act and live day by day. Pop culture plays its biggest roles in my life through social media, music, sports and clothing. Previous generations have had to refer to newspapers, books, or magazines, whereas today’s media has had the privilege to surf online and easily find out what is happening around the world. We can gain access to the internet on any device these days like the PS4 or XBOX or even as simple as the iPhone. I can remember when I was 7 or 8 I really wanted those new Nintendo SP’s.

Besides playing, I also have always been interested in watching sports. It all started when I was a kid and would watch the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco Giants games every week with my dad. It was something I always looked forward to every week since my dad worked a lot and I did not get to see him much. The most recent way that sports has affected me is through fantasy football.
