Rejecting Pop Culture

[jenny_ravenclaw]

Cindy mentioned some of the things that help her feel proud in her 
rejection of pop culture.  Here are some of mine:
*I don't watch "Friends", "Ally McBeal", "The West Wing" or "ER"
*I can't stand John Grisham novels
*I think Jennifer Lopez has zero musical talent (I'm not impressed 
with her butt, either)

On the other hand, there are some things that wind up quite popular 
and are still of good quality, IMO:
*Alicia Keyes
*Buffy until this year
*Harry Potter

I'm not embarrassed to admit that I find some Brittney Spears tunes 
catchy.  It's true: we like what we like.  I am openly proud of the 
collection of disco music I have and I have yet to stump Heidi with 
any song from the early eighties.  One of the best things pop culture 
does is give us a time and place for memories, as well as the bizarre 
ability to recall lyrics to songs you haven't heard in ten years and 
never liked anyway.
