In the reading, “What is Popular Culture?” by John Storey, the author brings up numerous definitions of popular culture after defining culture in general and ideology. Storey gives at least four large definitions of popular culture, including culture that is well-liked by many, the culture that is leftover after it is established that certain things are high culture, something mass produced and consumed by the mass, and finally, a culture that originates from “the people.” The author also includes that the final definition has some problems since it is hard to define exactly who “the people” are. Since these definitions are kind of foggy to me, I wanted to look at one text and examine it using many of the definitions of popular culture provided by Storey. Looking at Beyoncé’s “Flawless Remix” song featuring Nicki Minaj, I think this sort of text can be examined using multiple definitions of popular culture. First off, the track is well liked by many. The original song is wildly popular and features a Nigerian writer by the name of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Since the song is well-liked, it is mass produced and listened to by many. But more important, I believe, is the idea that the song became so well-liked and listened to by the masses that Beyoncé came out with a remix to her own song featuring a very famous female rapper. I think this remix version represents popular culture even more than the original because it also references another type of popular culture: social media. In Nicki Minaj’s verse at the end of the song, she references Instagramming a “pic.” Therefore, the mass-consumption of the original song led to the almost necessity to give the people more and even include lyrics which would not have been understood ten years ago. I think this demonstrates how popular culture is such an evolving idea and is somewhat controlled by the likes of “the people.”
