I like this site… But then, I’m an anarchist. My own mantra is fuck *everything.*

F*&% pop culture. But at the same time, I think what Michael says is right; its really more a case that the term ‘pop culture’ has come to represent the worst elements of it, which is really the fault of the general population rather than the proponents themselves.

Either way, its certainly a positive not to focus on the negative aspects of it. And for the record, pop culture was never cooler than regular culture, its just more popular.

It sounds to me like when you say “fuck pop culture,” you mean “fuck bad pop culture.” And I have no argument with that sentiment. Hell, fuck bad anything. And there are plenty of sites taking the negative route and ripping bad pop culture to shreds (it’s easier to explain why you hate something than why you like it, and usually more fun), so it’s a good idea to balance things out with something that focuses on the good.

F*&% pop culture is right, but we need to use necessary precautions when F*&%@#* damaged goods.

And by necessary precautions I mean sites like this, keep up the good fight!

Just the other day I tried to explain what made the Rumpus stand out amongst the various websites we distract ourselves with during the work day [DFW vocab lists! Come on!) and this post perfectly describes it – regular culture is entertaining and doesn’t make me feel gross afterwards. Thanks for keeping me entertained in the best of ways – a five minute peek and I’m guaranteed to learn something new, add another book to the never ending library queue, or be reminded of what’s good out there. Cheers!
