Early on in LeRoy Ashby’s article on the rise of pop culture, Ashby made one very distinct reference to historian Russel Nye, quoting: “Popular art confirms the experience of the majority.” When I read this I realized that this is the definition of Popular Culture. Everything that surrounds us can be converted into a reflection in popular culture, but in some ways our experiences may be exaggerated or may have an extreme example brought forth in order to bring some sort of point across to the audience. For example as in the “Don’t Text and Drive” commercials you are introduced to the idea that if you text and drive you are ultimately going to die or kill someone else. As this may be true, it is just one of the possibilities.  The article itself continues on with the same theme, which is that as the times change, so do what is reflected in pop culture. What happens in comic books, movies and radio are all reflective on the attitudes of the people and the events surrounding them. Pop culture is in a sense our own autobiographical Sociology book.
