Popular Culture

To be honest, I believe that popular culture has greatly influenced within the circle of my friends. One fact is that I have always had the same friends since kindergarten, and even back then during elementary, we followed the most popular trends at those times. I would say that music alone changed our pop culture because you want to be involved with the most recent music that all of my friends listened to. I think that sports had much to do with my friends in particular because no matter what the sport, it always brought us closer. The music in this case was always played during our games, so our sport events eventually became musical concerts as well. Clothing was another fast growing trend because the stores such as; American Eagle, Ambercrombie and Fitch, Hollister became very popular within my group of friends. These trends became marketed toward young teenagers in particular because we wanted to follow a more modern way of clothing, rather than the traditional style. I imagine transportation, for me, was a way to listen to my own music without having conflict with my other friends. To conclude, my generation is very much affected by popular culture because it is what I've known since I was very young.

I think your ending statement is really meaningful. Popular culture has been affecting everyone since they were born.
