Popular culture comprises different forms of contemporary culture made popular by culture industries through mass consumption of similar products. Popular culture differs from non-financially driven folk culture (De Groot, 2016). It is everywhere in the form of books, music, games, videos, movies, T.V shows, memes, etc. It normally fills a social function by giving the people something to think and talk about. It facilitates people to come together and discuss things they like or dislike, hence connecting them (De Groot, 2016). Popular culture leads to different forms of social interactions, for example, cooperation where two or more persons collaborate in a particular event. It causes social conflicts leading to conflicting parties continuing to struggle for power within a society. Also, it leads to a competitive social interaction where people contest for control over resources and power. However, popular culture gives people a sense of shared identity, meaning, and purpose that in most instances transcends geographical, racial, ethnic, political, and religious differences (De Groot, 2016). Popular culture is based on the expression of shared experiences significant to a society helping foster integrity, courage, respect, hard work, and advocate for justice as the people speak in one language that brings them together as a society with similar interests and beliefs (Storey, 2018). However, popular culture is believed to be associated with exposing people of all ages to sex, drug abuse, and violence. Children and teenagers globally are listening to music and watching shows that reflect improper behaviors. Popular culture is associated with color bias and racism, thus promoting social discrimination against people of color. Also, it promotes social class differences when certain groups feel better than others. These stereotypes are common in popular culture through commercials, memes, magazines, shows, and series.
