Summary

This quote suggests that popular culture, including media, music, fashion, and entertainment, does not create or drive societal changes but rather mirrors the shifts and developments already underway in society. It implies that popular culture is a product of its time, capturing and representing the attitudes, values, and interests of a particular era. Thus, rather than instigating social change, pop culture serves as a reflection or reaction to the prevailing sentiments and movements within society.
