The famous singers, music bands, fashion trends, all these seem like wow! It’s so fascinating and appealing. Pop culture can make bigger influences on the youth. It affects them in many ways. With the rapidly increasing trend of the culture, it is molding the youth in a huge way. They are affected by almost every aspect of the life around them from movies to literature, music and even sports. These are several ways that popular culture affects teenagers, how they talk and act. As hip-hop culture branches off into other popular media formats, its prevalence in our everyday lives becomes inescapable. Influence on teens Pop culture strongly influences teens on many levels. It affects them psychologically (how they think), behaviorally (what they do), and emotionally (how they feel). In addition to that, it affects how they express characteristics of their maturation. It has both negative and positive effects. Influences on youth’s self-definition A very important characteristic of every teenager’s maturation is her self-definition (the way you see yourself). For teens, that image is influenced to a huge extent by personal choices. Researchers agree teenagers’ self-definition is slightly impacted by the pop culture. It can provide benchmarks to which teenagers attach their self-definition. Teens want to replicate rock stars Teens enjoy dressing up like their favorite stars or following their lives. Celebrity influence is not always beneficial for teens as many teens struggle to meet an impossible standard. They want to imitate their favorite celebrities. Some teens are even turning to plastic surgery to look like their favorite stars. The influence of popular celebrities does not stop at the appearance. Some teens also model their behavior after music moguls, movie stars and reality television cast members. Teens under this amount of influence may change the way they talk to and treat other people. These sentiments can distract them from key aspects of their development. Teens may also start to lose interest in school because they want to pursue what their influencers are doing. If this happens, you need to ensure that something more serious isn’t going on and ensure you listen to them rather than lecture as Daniel Wong explains in this article. Trend of drugs in pop culture Most teenagers are stressed by social lives and school gets into drug abuse, by either their companions or what they see and read. It opens the doorway for them to alleviate that stress by trying these unhealthy methods. It is constantly being reinforced by the use of the drug in movies and television. Drugs in pop culture greatly influence the teens; they think that it is very cool and appealing. Specific movie characters and television try to justify drug usage by stating that it expands mental boundaries, enhances awareness, or just make it look enjoyable or cool. Cultural Pressure Another significant issue for teens is cultural pressure. They feel pressured to look or act as the same way as everyone else does. If they do not meet the standards then they find it hard to fit in with their friends and classmates.
