Test Your Pop Culture IQ: Are You a True Fan or Just Faking It? Pop culture is everywhere, from the latest Netflix series to the memes that make you laugh out loud at 2 a.m. But how well do you really know the trends, stars, and iconic moments that shape our world today? Well, it’s time to find out! Grab your favorite snack (popcorn, obviously), sit back, and let's see if you're a true pop culture aficionado—or just pretending to understand TikTok trends. The Basics: What Is Pop Culture Anyway? Pop culture, or popular culture, refers to the stuff that most people talk about. We’re talking about movies, TV shows, music, celebrities, social media trends—basically, anything that gets people buzzing. It’s the stuff you either love or pretend to love just to stay in the loop. Yes, we’ve all watched a few episodes of Stranger Things so we could join the office water cooler chat. But here's the catch: to really get your pop culture IQ, you need to go beyond just watching the latest shows. It’s about knowing the references, understanding the memes, and recalling moments from way back that somehow never seem to die. Remember when “Gangnam Style” took over the world? That was a moment.
