I’m sorry, but I’m not entirely sure I understand the question. Could you clarify, please?
The ways I keep up with popular culcha are two:
– In waiting rooms, I always read the magazines I would never buy or subscribe to. They are full of people everybody seems to have heard of but me, all tricked out in their for-camera duds and smiles, with their SOs in tow, or tears, in the back seats of cars. How else would I have known about Angelina and Brad and Jennifer?
– At home I rely on two sons in their early twenties (and their assorted friends and passersby) to keep me up on slang and tell me what’s really retro. I have no problem with being really retro, myself, but it’s always interesting to know what’s regarded as totally cool. That’s how I learned to say “sucks” and “ghetto.”
Drudge Report has a lot of current news items.
I don’t really keep up with the celebrity gossip though, if that is what is meant by popular culture.
Youtube
and word of mouth.
I’m a 20yo female.
Some radio stations, local coffee shops and other shops like that, my friends, the world, the street, hearing random snippets of what other people say when I walk by, pretty much everywhere I go a I am surrounded by “popular” culture.
I’m 14
I’m a girl
Yes, radio too. I listen to Sirius satellite radio where I am exposed to some uncensored and very interesting popular culture.
@Eambos, specify. Internet is not a good answer.
@TheKitchenSink, I mean culture as in music, movies, art, fashion, etc.
Oh. Well, Digg mainly, and word of mouth.
Magazines, Internet, people around me.
Digg, 4Chan and a hell of a lot of RSS feeds. That’s the main parts, i also get a lot from friends and colleagues
magazines, people, internet.
i’m a 16 year old girl.
My younger son; my oldest is nearly 30 (gasp!) and too old to be relied on. Oh – and Fluther. =P (I’m using that all the time now since “younger son” told me what it means!)
