Pop Culture

I have been in the US for almost two years. I think music is one of revelations that I have had as consumer of pop culture. Before I came here, I have never listened American pop music. However, after I came to US and heard some pop music, I changed my mind. And American horror movie that I really like it because it can make me feel scared. For instance, “The Saw”, “Thirteen Ghosts” and so on. However, I don’t like American TV shows because I think they are so exaggerated.

Before I took this class, I didn’t have any idea about what I will learn. And after four classes, I know a bit of what pop culture is. The four components of pop culture have object, people, events and place those can affect our life. And now, I know what different between pop culture and high culture. Pop culture is more temporary, such as pop music and present films. High culture is like intelligentsia, such as classical music and some visual arts. Although they are different, we can find them nearby our side.
