Do you realize how much popular culture affects your everyday goings-on? Chances are, you may have an inkling because of the general water-cooler talk and how it always seem to veer towards what was on television the previous night or what new music someone is into. If you actually took a pad and pen around with you and kept a record of what you talked about all day, you would see that popular culture has wormed itself into your life way further than you first believed. Chances are, you have funny t shirts that are based on these popular culture topics.
We may not all agree on what type of music we like, but we all like music. Whether you listen to rap or country, music is a big part of everyone's life. It soothes us, it helps us deal with strong emotions, and it can touch us deeply. There is no wonder that music has found itself into the complex maze of popular culture. There are far too many people who take what musicians say as gospel, even though many of them don't even have a high school diploma. Despite not being anywhere near being qualified, people still consider these stars important enough to make funny tee shirts about their antics.
Movies have to be one of the major contributors to popular culture affecting us today. Funny tshirts are constantly being made that are based on famous movie moments, quotes, and jokes. There are people in every friend group who memorize lines from movies and throw them out in conversation, whether the line is appropriate for the situation or not. It's become a social crutch for people who can't think of their own jokes, so they take the easy path and find common ground in things that everyone likes.
While t-shirt companies vie for the chance to have the best movie shirts, television has started emerging as a dominate media form. This may be due to so many excellent shows coming out year after year...but the funny t-shirts reflect that the lamest programming is what is being followed the most. Reality shows are undoubtedly the worst thing to happen to T.V....yet shows like Jersey Shore have tons of funny shirts dedicated to them.
The least influential media category in this group are video games. Video games have been building a following since the first console was released in the 80's. There have been entire generations growing up with video games, and you would surprised at how many households use games as their primary form of entertainment. It wasn't until the past couple of years that we've seen a big surge in funny tee shirts about games, which may be a sort of litmus test as to their popularity.
Funny tee shirts follow popular culture, and sometimes try to predict it in an effort to have the next big-selling shirt first. I don't know how to accurately gauge the level of popularity of something just by how many funny tee shirts are made of it, but if I could I would make a census of what is hot and what is not. It's too bad that I'm not a scientist, and just a desperate and lazy media addict.
