Is Pop Culture Good For You?

Let's begin to ask our audience if pop culture is good for us. Well it is definitely because pop culture is an idea that we create in movies, memes, viral videos that show awareness, short films, and in music that captivate us the audience where we can relate in a sense of humor and common interest.
