Lindsey Pritchett - Pop Culture

A while back we were told to look at popular music and notice all of the allusions and regurgitated phrases/ cliches that appeared. It was surprising how much of culture, especially pop culture, draws from other aspects of pop culture. For example, references to movies, tv shows, places, celebrities, and other cultural events occur. An example of this is the infamous Kanye West moment at the VMA's a year or so ago. He interrupted Taylor Swift and and told her that he would let her finish in a minute. Recently, because it has become a cultural reference for my generation, T-Pain wrote a song and included the line, "Imma do like Kanye, Imma let you finish" or something to that affect. "The Bed Intruder Song" is another example of modern popular culture, it is a hit amongst my generation yet the song has no true musical integrity. It is merely a news report that has been autotuned and released to the public. As a result, the gentleman staring in the news report is now a hit celebrity because of one individual's interpretation of his words.
