Pop Culture

I hate it I don't know why, I just hate it. Now don't get me wrong, I don't hate the first guy that found that song that now is a top 100 hit, or that guy who created the latest dance craze. I hate everyone else who follows the trend-setter. The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell explains the trendsetters. I forgot what he called that group, but they are the ones that create pop culture.
Then there are the other people. The people who are just now using Snoop Dogg terminology at work. The people who are really into that annoying Vanessa Carlton song. The people who go to Chipotle. These people don't have a creative thought in their head. They work at their office jobs and go wild on 'Thirsty Thursdays'. Imagine if these people gave creative thought a chance. If they said, 'Even though some people like that song, I think it sucks and like this rare one better.'
Now excuse me while I go watch the Jersey Shore. Let's face facts, pop culture is horrible.
