Popular culture personally has an unconscious affect on me. I don't believe that it shapes my life but at the same time it does to an extent. For starters I don't believe that the way I dress or the friends i associate with are because of popular culture. I'm not your average person that pays attention to what's going on in the " In crowd!" I'm more or less the one who just thinks anything I do is what's popular. Now the unconscious affect that I'm referring to is how certain things can get stuck in your mind without you even knowing it. For example UGG boots are popular, personally I don't like them, but the more I see them on-line and in commercials they grow on me even though I don't like them. Now I won't knock anyone who has them I just won't spend my hard earned money on them! As far as the music and transportation goes, I usually like the none popular artist and I've always leaned more towards what I feel is popular not what the culture feels is popular. You have to be a LEADER not a follower!! IT'S A MINDSET!!!

I couldn't agree more. While I am techno savvy, in many ways, I am pop culture impaired.
Why do you think people follow the trends you mentioned in your blog? Why is it important? I'll throw this out at you - who, or what, do you think determines what is pop culture?
