Popular culture is recognized as the cultural elements of a society that are preferred by the masses, including trends, values, and ideologies.

The primary driving forces behind popular culture in Western societies are capitalism, technology, and globalization.

Modern popular culture is heavily influenced by advanced technology, social media, and the internet, which have altered the way people consume and interact with cultural products.

Popular culture is often viewed in contrast to high culture, folk culture, and elite culture, which are considered more refined, exclusive, or traditional.

Theodor Adorno and the Frankfurt School refer to the production of popular culture as the 'culture industry', implying a standardized, commercialized, and manipulated cultural product.
