DescriptionAmerican pop culture has often been subjected to scorn and ridicule, both at home and abroad, often by those who view it as being immoral or who view it as not being “true” culture. This begs the questions of what exactly are the characteristics of American pop culture, why did it develop along the lines it has, and what are its sociological implications. One can examine the issue by delving into American history, and tracing how American mainstream thought has informed cultural practice. The results of such a study show that the characteristics of American pop culture were directly shaped by the ideals expressed in the American Revolution, and that American pop culture has often been at the heart of a generations-long push towards greater social freedom.
