pop culture

The problem with pop culture is not so much on the mainstream ideas themselves, but rather on the feeling of 'knowing everything' that it gives you. It may seem to you that what you see is all there is to it, when in fact there are a lot more ways to look at a particular idea. It causes a person to become so narrow-minded that it reduces him to be like what society dictates him to be - nothing more, and just like everybody else.

But then, I despise the people who so desire to be unique (or at least they want people to think of them that way) that they have to scream and show the rest that their tastes and preferences are different and supposedly superior than the masses'.
