these are her memories: OJ simpson
Kurt Cobain
Pulp Fiction
Bill Clinton- President
Jerry Springer
Cassie remembers watching OJ Simpson in his police chase after he was accused of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson. OJ was an NFL player and she remembers that he was aquitted of all charges. She also remembers when Kurt Cobain committed suicide. she says that there was alot of scandal involving his wife Courtney, they said that he couldnt have shot himself! "it was a great tragedy, he was the father of grunge." Her favorite movie at the time was Pulp Fiction, she said it was the best movie ever! it was the introduction to Quentin Tarantino movie trend. "gotta love Tarantino!!!" Cassie remembers that Bill Clinton was president, and that he turned our economy around for the better. also, the scandal of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. she said it was scandalous and entertaining. Finally, her favorite tv show of the time was Jerry Springer. "Drama, fights, stupidity, inbreeding and mindless self indulgence." The OJ Simpson event was "pop culture" because everyone payed attention to it, and it became a joke to talk about the white bronco. Kurt Cobain was pop culture because he started the grunge movement, and alot of people were into nirvana, his music is still on the radio. Pulp Fiction is still a great movie, its called a cult classic so people still watch this movie. Bill Clinton was on Saturday Night Live for a long time. That was pop culture because lots of people watched the news on his scandal and also watched SNL. Jerry Springer was and is pop culture. He takes the scum of society and turned it into entertainment, and his show is still on tv so we still see it in pop culture.
as for my own pop culture interests in 2012, im 24 years old: facebook
the twilight books
first black president
the wonderpets
sublime
I enjoyed reading the twilight books. theres something about these stories suck me in. i dont know what it is but I enjoyed them more than i expected to. So why are these books pop culture? Because they showed up at Barnes & Noble, everyone buys them, and all of a sudden, its everywhere! thats pop culture. I am totally addicted to facebook. i cant seem to go any amount of time with out checking it! Facebook is an important part of pop culture today. Social networking is in everyones life in one way or another. its always on your mind and i think thats why its so big in our pop culture. there will always be some form of social networking whether its facebook or the next big social networking sight. Barack Obama is the first black president, boy did he screw that up! i think that America was not ready for a black president, especially not the one that we elected, sadly, i did vote for him. This is pop culture because its constantly yet subtly in your face. Barack Obama is on bumper stickers, tv shows, billboards etc. i think that pop culture is something that is in your everyday life. The tv show that i watch the most is the wonderpets, i have a 2 year old daughter so we watch this show all the time on netflix. I guess that watching a show on netflix is its own form of pop culture some how, the Wonderpets and netflix will be on VH1's top of the 2000's sometime. my favorite band is sublime, i know that they arent current but i really dont like the way that music has gone in the past few years. Obviously sublime is and always will be pop culture because the lead singer Bradley died along time ago and there music is still popular. People still buy there music from itunes and there cds on Amazon so clearly they are still popular and in peoples life.
