Popular Culture Quotes

The history of modern culture is a history of popular entertainments evolving into art Picture Quote #1

I don’t hear any of the popular stuff unless it’s good ‘cause I pay no attention to popular culture, at all Picture Quote #1

The lowest form of popular culture - lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives - has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage Picture Quote #1

Reality TV is sleazy, it is manipulative. It is as momentary as anything in popular culture Picture Quote #1

If there are signs that Americans bow to the gods of advertising, there are equally indications that people find the gods ridiculous. It is part of the popular culture that advertisements are silly Picture Quote #1

I was delighted to become a popular-culture reference point. I’m still delighted about it actually, and I still find it to be weird Picture Quote #1

Popular culture is the new Babylon, into which so much art and intellect now flow. It is our imperial sex theater, supreme temple of the western eye. We live in the age of idols. The pagan past, never dead, flames again in our mystic hierarchies of stardom Picture Quote #1

People constantly make pop-culture references. That’s why it’s called popular culture, because people are aware of it and reference it constantly Picture Quote #1

Popular culture bombards us with examples of animals being humanized for all sorts of purposes, ranging from education to entertainment to satire to propaganda. Walt Disney, for example, made us forget that Mickey is a mouse, and Donald a duck. George Orwell laid a cover of human societal ills over a population of livestock Picture Quote #1

As popular culture becomes more presentist, we move away from entertainment as the vicarious experience of a narrative - as watching someone else’s story - and much more toward enacting one’s own story. Moving away from myths and toward fantasy role-playing games, away from movies and toward videogames Picture Quote #1

I think a reason that a lot of people feel politically paralysed is that it used to be clear how power was organised. But those who have their hands on the levers of popular culture today have great power - and it isn’t even clear who they are Picture Quote #1

I love California. It has such a strong contribution to the history of culture, and popular culture. For better and worse, of course. Even the worst can be interesting to some degree sometimes for somebody creative Picture Quote #1

When I go to Japan and do shows I play for 1,000 to 1,500 people. I like a lot about Japan. Their popular culture and mass commercialization appeals to me Picture Quote #1

Most of my ukulele heroes were traditional players from Hawaii, like Eddie Kamae and Ohta-san. There may not be uke stars in popular culture, but there are certainly pop stars that play uke - George Harrison, Eddie Vedder, Taylor Swift, Train, and Paul McCartney Picture Quote #1

We will never know the extent of the damage movies are doing to us, but movie art, it appears, thrives on moral chaos. When the country is paralyzed, the popular culture may tell us why. After innocence, winners become losers. Movies are probably inuring us to corruption; the sellout is the hero-survivor for our times Picture Quote #1

We’ve always believed that popular culture and populist politics go hand in hand. It’s an honor to be working with so many respected and influential artists, and we’re indebted to them for having the courage to speak out at a time when our country so desperately needs change. For our 2.5 million members and far beyond, the Vote for Change tour will have a seismic cultural impact Picture Quote #1

I’m tired of feeling like I should be grateful when popular culture deigns to acknowledge the experiences of people who are not white, middle class or wealthy, and heterosexual Picture Quote #1

The lowest form of popular culture - lack of information, misinformation, disinformation and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives - has overrun real journalism Picture Quote #1

Bloom never pissed me off because there are critics out there, and he’s one of them, who take their ignorance about popular culture as a badge of intellectual prowess Picture Quote #1

We use the term pop in the art world, as in Pop Art, but we forget that its root is popular - popular culture Picture Quote #1

Popular culture - above all rock ‘n’ roll, with its African-American R and B roots - did far more to radicalize us than did any feminist leader Picture Quote #1

The distortions and insults about organized religion will continue unabated as long as our popular culture continues its overall campaign against judgment and values. A war against standards leads logically and inevitably to hostility to religion because it is religious faith that provides the ultimate basis for all standards Picture Quote #1

I don’t think we have enough imaginary creatures in cinema. It seems like we’re stuck with zombies, vampires, and werewolves. We should have everything. We should have minotaurs. We should have elves. We should have mermen in popular culture. But instead we’ve stuck with vampires Picture Quote #1

Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious Picture Quote #1

Science is too important not to be a part of popular culture Picture Quote #1
