Pop culture reflects the current state of our society. If something becomes fashionable necessary, than it becomes acceptable. Once it has been accepted, its a hallmark of that particular generation. For example,Crocs, or Digital Chips inserted into clothing for tracking purposes, or accountability due to linking of social media and personal information.
It’s usually just one person who has this idea, or a select few. So – are they responsible for the epic changes of priorities in a generation? Or did they literally spew out the collective unconscious’s desires that were churning under the surface all along? If so, then this means we are all responsible for our loss of freedoms, our hate crimes, and all things done on our behalf, because these actions are carried out by representatives of our unconscious.
