Consider the current youth popular culture compared to those of the past. What movements do you have in your youth culture? How are you a part of your youth culture?
Youth popular culture in my opinion, has not changed much from the popular culture of the past. When i spoke to my mom about the popular culture from when she was growing up, it wasn't too different at all. She told me all about the break dancing, Run DMC, Michael Jackson, and fashions while she was in high school. All of the teenagers seemed to copy all aspects of popular culture, just as we seem to do today. The different styles of dancing that we have today come from the different celebrities and music videos that we all watch. All of the popular music is played in the clubs and in everyones cars and homes. The certain fashions that we see on a daily basis all come from certain influences in our culture. Today, we have the same types of culture, but with different people. Run DMC and Michael Jackson are no longer the strongest influences on youth, their places have been filled by people like Lil Wayne and Rihanna. Walking through the mall you can see all of the similar styles worn in music videos and on television. Seeing all of the trends that are being followed today makes me realize that i am also one of the people who follow them. I constantly listen to music and follow the different trends that are currently popular. I look forward to seeing the ruture trends that my younger siblings will be following just as i have done, and am currently doing.
