This week I have been thinking about today's "pop culture" and I've become stuck on one question: what is our pop culture?
I mean, we can most of us clearly identify the icons of the 20s, 50, and 70s, but what will our icons be? Does anyone else feel like we are simply drawing from so many outlets that we have lost our pop culture identities?
I visited the costume shop of a different college and realized that the students working inside absolutely encompass some completely different fashion fads. One girl looks as if she's stepped from the 50s, one girl looks like a punk version of Pretty in Pink, and one guy looks like he stepped out of a poster I saw depicting Woodstock. Which one of these is our identity in 2012?
And did people in the 20s, 50s, and 70s, etc. have the same questions that I do?
What exactly is our style and will other cultures and generations recognize it?
