What we're getting at is that pop culture surrounds us everywhere, and is an inescapable fabric of almost everyday life. Pop culture creates the moments we associate with mile markers in life, whether that be a birthday, a first crush, or a life-changing event. There's a reason why people reminisce when seeing a certain fashion trend or sitcom, or hear the opening notes of a popular ballad from a middle school dance. That's why Stacker dove into finding the best pop culture history from the year you were born. Going back to 1930, it deciphered what were the films, TV shows, periodicals, other literature, art, albums, concerts, sports, celebrities, viral controversies, and video games that defined each year. Data in each slide was found using a variety of primary news sources.
