Popular culture


            
             Popular culture is the culture that is adopted and appeals to large masses of people, normally the middle class citizens. Culture consists of the customs and civilizations of a particular group. Popular culture means that artefacts and styles of human expression develop from the creativity of ordinary people, and circulate among people according to their interests, preferences, and tastes. Popular culture thus comes from people; it is not just given to them. This perspective tears away at distinctions typically made between producers and consumers of cultural materials between the culture industries and contexts of reception. By interpreting and using popular symbolic forms, everyone helps produce popular culture. The point of views below will be given to show about popular culture, and what any other people think.
             On the one hand, the popular culture marketplace is extremely unpredictable. Certain themes, genres, sounds, styles, and stars strike a responsive chord, resonating with audience members" identities, emotions, opinions, tastes, and ambitions. The vast majority of television programs, rock and rap music, novels, computer software, and all other cultural offerings, however, fail to turn a profit. The role of the culture industries, therefore, is to solicit, select, sort, market, and distribute certain symbolic resources with the hope of appealing to a viable market. These resources take the form of persons writers, actors, singers, and so on and the scripts, scenes, songs, and other symbolic forms they create. Most executives of the culture industries are in the business strictly for the bread. They don't care about what they sell, so long as it makes money. Even the most threatening and anarchistic cultural materials and political statements are shamelessly packaged and sold.
             To conclude this section, the " popular" in popular culture really means that cultural themes and styles originate in everyday environments, and are later attended to, interpreted, and used by ordinary people sometimes, but not always, in very resistant ways after being commodities and circulated by the culture industries and mass media.
