Why do girls tend to get obsessed with pop culture, while guys tend to ignore it? This is a generalization, of course. But I've noticed that teenage girls tend to get really caught up in pop culture items: Twilight Jonas Brothers Celebrities One Tree Hill Etc. Guys may LIKE some pop culture items, but they don't usually obsess over them as much as girls (particularly teenage girls) do. Why is this? This is a dead serious question and it's related to a project I may do for science fair.

What do our pop culture objects, events, icons, or trends reveal about American culture? I would love to hear of specific examples, if you can think of any. For example, I think Family Guy is a sign that our culture would prefer to spend free time on meaningless, non-productive activities. The storyline is written very loosely, with little or no moral or message to the viewer. I love Family Guy, I just wanted to use it as an example to pick apart our pop culture...

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Do you think pop culture changes more slowly these days? It seems the more technology we get, the less pop culture evolves. I mean, isn't 2009 just like 2000 almost as far as pop culture, music etc? People still can't get enough of Britney and Eminem. You still feel as if the 90s just ended a couple years ago. For that reason even as far back as 1990 could almost be classed as contemporary. In 1985, nobody would have EVER considered 1966 to be contemporary!
Do you believe that pop culture and the media control peoples opinions and tries to turn people into sheep? Seriously, I can see evidence of this everywhere (e.g. who people vote for, what they wear, even how they act) Ive also noticed that pop culture tends to promote VERY irresponsible and (sometimes) downright stupid behaviors (Take anything on MTV for example). What is your opinion on this and why do you think it's like that? I also remember hearing that the 4th branch of the government is the media, do you think this is true?

Are parents depending too much on pop culture? I have read countless comments about the pregnancy of Jamie Lynn Spears, and the adverse effects that it will have on the throngs of little girls who look up to her. My question is, what's the big deal? Is it not the parent's responsibility to serve as role models to their children? To explain right from wrong, and distinguish fantasy from reality? Does this not present an opportunity for parents to begin a dialogue with their children about the importance of being responsible? Or are some parents depending too much upon pop culture to serve as role models, instead of taking the initiative to serve as role models themselves. Thoughts?

Do you believe that a modern character in pop culture can be taken seriously as a god? People often refer to there favorite musicians, politicians and other pop culture icons as "gods". Whether they are using it as a way to positively talk of someone or if they take themselves seriously, do you think their could ever be a religion based on a pop culture icon, and if so who do you think it could be? Many of you speak of cults, but can the people outside of the cult really take it seriously?

Do you have a philosophy of life that you live by based on a pop culture reference? I do its based on this "you don't tug on supermans cape, you don't piss into the wind, you don't pull the mask off the old lone ranger, and you don't mess around with slim" by Jim Croce. I interpret it to mean: Don't be a pest, Don't be obstinate, don't be nosey, and don't start any trouble cause you never know who you are messing with. So you do you live by any pop culture references? http://www.superseventies.com/sl_youdontmessaround.html

Any suggestions for Pop Culture Art that needs changes and criticism? From ads, tv, cartoons, etc.? I need topics of any pop culture art. For instance, a cartoon that is so badly made that needs a change or revision. It can be from the past or just today. Like commercials, advertisements that are not accurate for that use. It's not only limited from Pop Era. Today's ads, tv commercials, cartoons, etc. can be? Even not as badly made or just needs changes because it hit a certain social aspect that needs an immediate change or may confuse or foold the viewer.
