Once upon a time there was a thing called culture. Then movies, radio, and television were invented, and real culture was replaced by "pop culture".

Pop Culture (short for popular culture) was invented in the 1960s by a gaylord artist named Andy Warhol (who also popularised AIDS) when he discovered that you can indeed fool all of the people all of the time when he started selling shitty sketches of Campbell's Soup™ cans and Anna Nicole Smith for obscene amounts of money.

At the moment, Pop Culture includes every vapid fad from art movements to musical genres like emo to memes to celebrities like OJ Simpson to language such as "Don't Taze Me Bro". However, since popular culture by definition encapsulates what is currently 'popular', today's Pop Culture is tomorrow's Old School or Retro.

It can be defined as any damn thing in the past 100 years that has been quoted and spoofed and put on a fucking Hot Topic t-shirt over and over until any intelligent person wants invent a time machine and go back to the 1950s when Pop Culture was just known as stuff (truckers' hats for example). But the majority of people in the world are a bunch of easily-entertained Aspies who will smile and laugh at anything that's familiar to them.

Because everyone is out of fucking original ideas, pop culture is frequently regurgitating itself over and over. Many TV shows (most notably Family Guy) are popular because of this regurgitating. The human race loves familiarity over quality, it seems.

Thanks to Pop Culture, this is the most popular thing in the world, evar.

• Family Guy (No. 1 offender)
• The Simpsons
• South Park
• Futurama
• Robot Chicken
• The new series of Doctor Who
• VH1
• X-Entertainment
• YTMND
• I-Mockery
• 4chan
• Homestar Runner
• TV Tropes

Is there any way to stop the endless regurgitation?

Sadly, no. As long as there are giggling retards (like me) who will buy or watch something because "OMG I remember that LMAO!", pop culture will continue to eat itself up and vomit itself up again. The only way to stop this is to kill 99.9% of the population (the remaining .1% being people who enjoy original ideas and actual humor). Until that happens, losers like me will continue to sit back in our Monty Python T-shirts, drinking JOLT cola and watching "I Love The 80s"

Alternatively, you could do something proactive, and get away from Pop Culture the easy way.

Some help

Feeling like your head is going to explode if you see or hear any moar Perez Hilton and Family Guy? Well you may be in luck.

Invariably, a twangy country singer/songwriter will come along and oversimplify things in a semi-humorous manner. Although the lulz are only moderate... because if the lulz were great, the above section would cause a time paradox. In any case, songs can will to will help alleviate some stress.

How to Create "Pop Culture" Yourself

It has been Scientifically proven, if it wasn't already totally obvious that ALL Pop Culture from Music to video games to movies are just a regurgitation of old, dusty plastic crap of the past. Today you too can make similar content following these steps:

• Find a bunch of old stories or whatever your planning to use and mix them together in a crappy manner.
• ?????
