What is defining popular culture?Show answer
Popular culture is the culture of everyday life, widely accessible, commercially produced and consumed by large numbers of ordinary people. It is usually distinguished from high culture (associated with elites and formal institutions) and from folk culture (local, traditional, community-made). Popular culture is dynamic, commercial and media-driven, which is precisely why it shows continuity and change so vividly.
