Pop Culture
Pop culture is insignificant. Culture
is significant. Pop culture is a parade of the artificial and
encourage s intellectual perfunctory. The celebration and jubilation
that surrounds celebrities and stupidity drives and creates pop
culture. Innovation and integrity creates real culture. Modern
society is pop culture. Innovation and science are real culture.
Modern Society
The induction/introduction/advent and
amplification of the insipid,vapid, and anti-intellectual realms of
society that presides in and defines pop culture has unfortunately
transcended the political, intellectual, scientific (to a lesser
extent), and artistic integrity and constructs/constituents of modern
(American) society. The political landscape(s) of (modern) American
society can be attributed to partisanship and sub-par politics and
politicians. The infiltration of pop culture into politics has
created a political landscape that focuses primarily on political
parties, pseudo-morals, and pseudo-politics within the political
community. The declination of an astute, effective, and intelligent
political culture is due to the progression of anti-intellectualism
that has always been prevalent but has now reached its pinnacle. The
saturation and dilution of pop culture/society with music and
television that is designed to discourage intellectual thought and
endeavors has contributed greatly to the decline of modern
intellectualism. The absence of public intellectuals is also both a
cause and by-product of the aforesaid quandaries. The decline of
cognitive complexity has manifested itself into the “artistic”
realms of American culture. The messages of modern American artistic
excursions entail blatant disregard and apathy towards the elevation
of cognitive processes, artistic aptitude, and the intellect. Science
is an entity that (usually) intellectually transcends pop culture.
The advent and prominence of “scientific” studies that focus on
pop psychology, relationships, and social encounters has brought down
psychology and, to a lesser extent, the whole of science. Although
anti-intellectualism and pop culture have always been a part of
society, the extent to which anti-intellectualism is celebrated and
implemented is unprecedented.
