Popular culture
By definition, popular culture, or "pop" culture, requires the masses to be engaged in practising and consuming culture, thereby making it popular.
There are three significant popular-culture markers:
- Wedding ceremonies began traditions based on religious tenets and quickly became part of society.
- Music performed from written scores. Renaissance composers committed music to paper, making it possible for others to perform it.
- Fashion styles took clothing beyond functionality.

Shakespeare is the first pop culture superstar
The Western world's first pop culture superstar was probably William Shakespeare. He wrote his theatre plays for a mass audience, fulfilling pop culture's art requirement that could be enjoyed by the masses.
Shakespeare's art bridged the 16th-century gap between popular and fine art. Several of his plays were set elsewhere in Europe, which exposed the common Englishman to wedding and courtship traditions of different classes and cultures.

Popular culture becomes global
When the first explorers travelled to distant places, they were influenced by examples of other cultures' popular art, artefacts, and customs, such as drinking coffee.
The masses were seldom the first to experience exotic forms of popular culture. For example, Kabuki Theater was accessible to all classes of Japanese people, but Europe's aristocrats initially regarded it as high art.

Entertainment in the age of industrialization
In popular arts such as theatre, dance, music, and movies, the masses needed enough time and resources to enjoy these arts.
Technology made it possible. The industrial labourers of the 19th-century had more money, making it possible to enjoy entertainment venues and engage in recreation outside their work lives.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
