“In more traditional definitions of the term, culture is said to embody the “best that has been thought and said” in a society (Hall, 1997: 2). When applying this to popular culture, the assumption one might make is that something consumed by many people, such as products, ideas, and experiences, are “popular.” Popular culture can derive from a wide range of genres such as sports, music, cyberculture, entertainment, and television. One way to track aspects of popular culture is through numbers, including sales, watches, and attendees. An example of this would be pop music. “The official UK chart is calculated based on both sales and streams, with a streaming ratio of 150:1 (Ditto, online 2018)” with the artist calculating the highest number and being awarded the number 1 in the UK on Friday. Flaws can be found in this idea because, although something may be popular among the majority, it does not take into account the ideas and views of subcultures. While something may be accessible and appreciated by the majority, this does not mean that this idea/experience or product is the best overall, contradicting the statement Hall made earlier. In addition to this, the idea that popular culture appeals to many can only go so far, which Hall also examines when he introduces the interpretation that popular culture is “the culture that remains after you have decided what high culture is.” (2009: 6). According to this definition, popular culture is a residual category, a lower culture, that is “there to accommodate texts and practices that do not meet the standards required to qualify as high culture”.
