Music always has a funny way of influencing a mass of people. Pop culture is a big proponent of that fact in the sense that the word will always get out. It intrigues me the way that people will latch on to a catchy song and a nice melody. If a song has a catchy hook, society always finds a way to fit it in and get the word out. Music becomes what each generation is known for and big reason why pop culture even has a place in the world.
Everybody wants to be like that latest "big time artist". They will dress and act like them until that mental void is fulfilled. I don't know what it is, but as a mass, people always feel like somethings missing. The way that they can reconcile that void is by doing what everyone else is doing. What is everyone else doing you ask ? Acting like Miley Cirus, Justin Bieber, and Drake (at least in this time frame).
If you went through the playlists of people at Dixie State University that are in the same age group as a sample, at least half of their music would match up. That's the cool thing about music, everyone listens. Everyone follows, and everyone keeps up. That's what makes pop culture so important and apparent in this world. Pop culture is always right in front of us, and that's what makes it "popular". It's a certain sense of satisfaction that music can give you, and most people won't dig deeper and will only listen to what's in front of them.
