i must admit interesting question,
first thing, the word pop culture does not conjour up any image that i can see within architecture of culture today,

i say architecture, mainly because different aspects of culture today, is fragmented, secular, so of it as different as oil and water,

but all sitting within todays rhythm of social existence and interaction,

a symbol of it would have to be a fragmented, disjointed, counter intuitive symbol.

and like a post above mentions its quit simply £, or capitalism

This is an interesting one. I feel that youth culture in some ways has not moved on recently to give a new definition to modern day pop culture.
It seems a lot less expressive and more conformist.
In the seventies and eighties people where not afraid to express them selves as an art form and make it part of there music and art in general.
I would say that photographers like Nick Night and Rankin, and Terry Richardson. go a long way to produce the identity to the image of fashion and art culture of today. As Bailey, Lategon and Terrence Donavan did many years ago.
We need artist to be free from restraints and more expressive again . What about Galliano and his Universes.I can see a lot going on there.

Please stop mentioning Nick Knight and R****n in the same sentence! It is as naive as mentioning Kate Moss and Jordan in the same sentence! Seriously!

.... and just think how much she makes people think .... as to fill pages and pages in the internet... and in the press in general all over the world.... you cannot accuse her of being a totally uninteresting subject just because she happens to be a model, she has simply managed to capture the public's imagination..... that in itself is a great achievement very difficult to aim for ..... apart from Twiggy in her time ...):):)

In reply to Galileo's Universe:

Has she ever done or said anything to make people think, or it it the situations she has been put in that make people think?

In reply to Karl Fuler:

....I'm not referring to the quality of the thinking involved ... but just to the basic function of bothering to think ... at least it is something, it shows to no doubt that our modern and ' new brave brains ' aren't totally dead... yet !...:):):)
