She walked confidently next to him. Her black hair was slicked down and tucked behind her ear. "To better fight Guardians with, my pretty," she had told him earlier that morning. ~ Marie Johnston
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Marie Johnston
There's something retro about the pop culture references in the paintings, so I'd imagine it's not as much a pop culture reference as a pop art reference. ~ Joe Bradley
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Joe Bradley
I like YOU! I've liked you since before hitting puberty! Since before dinosaurs walked the Earth! Since before the old Taylor Swift died! ~ Chloe Seager
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Chloe Seager
Goosing my own Maverick. ~ Caitlin Moran
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Caitlin Moran
[The public intellectual] will also describe how she can work a pop culture reference into her essay, comparing the Supreme Court to the creature in the number-one box office movie of the moment. Editors like this sort of mass-media integration, first, because it gives them a way to illustrate the piece, and second because they are under the delusion that pop-culture references will propel a piece's readership into the five-digit area. ~ David Brooks
Pop Culture Reference quotes by David Brooks
That's the problem with you nearly immortal types," I said. "You couldn't spot a pop culture reference if it skittered up and implanted an embryo down your esophagus. ~ Jim Butcher
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Jim Butcher
Probably I'm more of a fan of the literary references than the pop-culture references. But I do go to the pop-culture well quite frequently because people, I think, are sort of inherently ready to laugh at that. It's a free laugh almost. Usually, everybody gets it. ~ Adam Reed
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Adam Reed
I saw a dark void under the platform and had just enough time to think: Fuck me he's a earthbender. ~ Ben Aaronovitch
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Ben Aaronovitch
(Brin) 'How good is your lawyer, on a scale of Atticus Finch to Franklin and Bash? ~ Lisa Henry
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Lisa Henry
A lifelong movie I already knew the ending to ~ Jason Najum
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Jason Najum
We know – it has been measured in many experiments – that children with strong impulse control grow to be better adjusted, more dependable, achieve higher grades in school and college and have more success in their careers than others. Success depends on the ability to delay gratification, which is precisely what a consumerist culture undermines. At every stage, the emphasis is on the instant gratification of instinct. In the words of the pop group Queen, "I want it all and I want it now." A whole culture is being infantilised. ~ Jonathan Sacks
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Jonathan Sacks
American cold war culture represented an age of anxiety. The anxiety was so severe that it sought relief in an insistent, assertive optimism. Much of American popular culture aided this quest for apathetic security. The expanding white middle class sought to escape their worries in the burgeoning consumer culture. Driving on the new highway system in gigantic showboat cars to malls and shopping centers that accepted a new form of payment known as credit cards, Americans could forget about Jim Crow, communism, and the possibility of Armageddon. At night in their suburban homes, television allowed middle class families to enjoy light domestic comedies like The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best, and Leave It to Beaver. Somnolently they watched representations of settled family life, stories where lost baseball gloves and dinnertime hijinks represented the only conflicts. In the glow of a new Zenith television, it became easy to believe that the American dream had been fully realized by the sacrifice and hard work of the war generation.

American monsters in pop culture came to the aid of this great American sleep. Although a handful of science fiction films made explicit political messages that unsettled an apathetic America, the vast majority of 'creature features' proffered parables of American righteousness and power. These narratives ended, not with world apocalypse, but with a full restoration of a secure, consumer-oriented status quo. Invaders i ~ W. Scott Poole
Pop Culture Reference quotes by W. Scott Poole
Must you always speak with so many pop culture references?"
"I must, yes, but no one's making pop culture anymore, so I'm starting to feel dated. I haven't seen a new movie in two years. And you know what else I just realized?"
The doctor stared at him.
"I'm never going to find out what the hell was going on with Lost. I mean, was it just sheer coincidence their plane crashed on the island or was it this Jacob guy pulling the strings all along? And how did most of them end up back in the 1970s with the Dharma people? ~ Peter Clines
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Peter Clines
It's scary to me to watch the world around us get less and less physical while in the imaginary world of pop culture, aggressive impulses and fear reactions are floridly, furiously stoked and indulged. ~ Mary Gaitskill
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Mary Gaitskill
I'm a pop culture junkie. I'm a People magazine reader, an US Weekly subscriber; all of those celebrity magazines get my dollar. ~ Laurie Foos
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Laurie Foos
Your skin starts itching once you buy that gimmick about something called love. ~ Iggy Pop
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Iggy Pop
Apocalyptic saucer cults have started to spring up all over America. One small group, which has been receiving messages from outer space via Lake City housewife Mrs. Marian Keech, becomes the subject of a research team led by psychologist Leon Festinger. According to an alien entity named Sananda, the end of the world is due any day and under the most cataclysmic of circumstances. The group meets regularly to discuss the latest predictions from Sananda and the rest of the Space Brothers, all relayed to them by Mrs. Keech. Some members bake cakes in the shape of flying saucers to be consumed during their gatherings while local college football scores are closely debated. ~ Ken Hollings
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Ken Hollings
Mathematical high culture collides with pop culture and all hell breaks loose! Harris takes us on a wild ride
never a dull moment! ~ Gregory Chaitin
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Gregory Chaitin
Everybody likes to eat, and you never know who likes to read until you bring up a few pop culture references. That's where you separate the TV watchers and moviegoers from the readers. ~ Ashton Lee
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Ashton Lee
After college I got a job and started working. This new career had absolutely nothing to do with my degree. ~ Jason Najum
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Jason Najum
Teens are the target demographic for everything in pop culture. ~ Amy Heckerling
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Amy Heckerling
I always think, quite frankly that pop culture is a lot more important than a lot of people realize. ~ Hugh Hefner
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Hugh Hefner
It appears that countless women born between the years of 1965 and 1978 are in love with John Cusack. I cannot fathom how he isn't the number-one box office star in America, because every straight girl I know would see her soul to share a milkshake with that motherfucker. ~ Chuck Klosterman
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Chuck Klosterman
It is true that I will confess that I have an incredible fascination for pop-culture stories about the Apocalypse and the end of the world. ~ Annalee Newitz
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Annalee Newitz
The term 'popular culture' always used to mean what the people do - pop songs, folk songs, music in general used to live because people would sing these songs and tell these stories together. Then all of these new technologies came out and it became the work of professionals. ~ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Imagine: If shifting from one universe to another is like moving up or down to parallel layers, overlapping with one universe, then going to another timeline is like taking a jump to the left.'
'Or a step to the right,' Jena said wryly. ~ E.C. Myers
Pop Culture Reference quotes by E.C. Myers
I think hip hop is dead. It's all pop now. If you call it hip hop, then you need to stop. Hip hop was a movement. Hip hop was a culture. Hip hop was a way of life. It's all commercial now. ~ Tracy Morgan
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Tracy Morgan
But when you're a teenage boy, you can be narrow-minded about things that are girlie, things that are frivolous, things that are pop. Boys always want to be taken seriously, and they always want to transcend the tawdry emotion of the pop singer
it's a fairly standard response to the rigors of young manhood ... This isn't so different from how people talk about culture now. Rock epics are for boys; pop hits are for girls. When you're a boy, pop is scary because it's a maneater. You sing along with a pop song, you turn into a girl. That takes some degree of emotional risk. ~ Rob Sheffield
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Rob Sheffield
I love everything black, because black is cool. When something crosses over, people are like, "Oh, this is a crossover." First of all, there is no urban anymore. Pop culture is black. White kids are dressing like black kids. It's all crossed the lines now. The way I understand it is, everything black is cool. When it crosses over to white, that means it's going from cool to uncool. That's what crossover is. ~ Brett Ratner
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Brett Ratner
You have to be respectful of pop culture, because people interpret it in the way they want. ~ Jaleel White
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Jaleel White
A lot of journalists like to suck up to celebrities, and then as soon as they're a safe distance away at their computers, they take shots. But that's the way society has become, especially in pop culture. ~ Scott Weiland
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Scott Weiland
Ballet isn't pop culture, after all; it is an art of the chosen few, a selected elite, for those who understand it; and it is also an art that you have to learn and study.3 ~ Catherine E. Pawlick
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Catherine E. Pawlick
Because of my New Line upbringing, half my heart goes to scrappy independents, and half goes to mainstream, down-the-middle pop culture events. And even with those, to try to keep something fresh and original with them and try to do things that the majors miss. ~ Michael De Luca
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Michael De Luca
Describing current human mindsets reflecting our ignorance and cowardice and non action-oriented mentality:

"I'm going to do nothing but escapist drugs and hop from one party or festival to another. I will dance my way out of the harsh realities of Planet Earth. ~ Mark Passio
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Mark Passio
I learned that it's okay to feel the way I do: that my life has no meaning unless I have a boyfriend. A real man is like the perfect vampire-boy and all the perfect guys in Twue Wuv. ~ Jess C. Scott
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Jess C. Scott
There are no pimps, no whores, no transvestites - gone. Now that's more the culture I'm comfortable in ... I don't like it in the house, you know what I mean, but I like it somewhere around. ~ Iggy Pop
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Iggy Pop
I grew up on American pop culture so everything that I fantasized about to get out of this sort of humdrum world of Bradford was about America. So when we decided to move there I was on the plane. ~ Aasif Mandvi
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Aasif Mandvi
In my parents' generation, rebellion was pop culture. It's not anymore. ~ Shia Labeouf
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Shia Labeouf
There's something about the superheroes and the idea behind their relationship with humans, whether it's a metaphor for the better part of ourselves, or the more flawed part of ourselves. So it seems to really be our own pop-culture version of Greek mythology. ~ Clark Gregg
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Clark Gregg
The only way to understand another culture is to assume the frame of reference of that culture. ~ Carl R. Rogers
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Carl R. Rogers
In general, I feel so much of pop culture is set in the generic big city, particularly comics. I feel like there are so many other stories to tell. ~ Jeff Lemire
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Jeff Lemire
Girls in pop culture are also often represented in ways that feel almost, but not quite, human. They are lifelike rather than alive, and more than anything they resemble the 'idea of woman' in late capitalist culture; the twenty-first-century 'true women.' There isn't a girl in the world who has not, at some point, come across an image or portrayal that made her feel a sense of recognition and alienation at the same time, a me/not-me, real/not real, true/not-true feeling that, once experienced, never quite goes away. Sure, these images and portrayals do not share the same qualities as the objects Mori first mapped - they are not, at least to start with, artificial beings. They aren't cyborgs or replicants or reanimated corpses. But we don't recognize them as human, either, at least not like any humans we know. Some ineffable thing is missing. ~ Carina Chocano
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Carina Chocano
There's real potency in metal. Metal fans love metal as if it's a nation they would fight for. It's not diluted by pop culture. ~ Feist
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Feist
What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"- Rob ~ Nick Hornby
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Nick Hornby
Everything around me affirmed there was nothing else I could do – yet everything inside me cried that I was not doing enough. ~ Jason Najum
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Jason Najum
Yeah, I don't deal with current events or pop culture, and I avoid politics like the plague. ~ Max Cannon
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Max Cannon
Rappers hate each other, not the labels that got rich,
Don't care about culture, they only want profit.
If your album sell slow, bet you'll get dropped quick;
Q-Tip warned us: the industry's toxic.
For reference, check out BDP's Sex and Violence. ~ Cormega
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Cormega
Because his [Damien Hirst] art is idea art - art drawn on the back of cigarette packets and beer mats, roughed out in airport departure lounges and the back of the taxis, usually delegated to and carried by others - this leaves Damien a lot of time for what might loosely be called socializing. Hanging around. ~ Gordon Burn
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Gordon Burn
Twentieth-century culture's disease is the inability to feel their reality. People cluster to TV, soap operas, movies, theater, pop idols and they have wild emotion over symbols. But in the reality of their own lives, they're emotionally dead. ~ Jim Morrison
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Jim Morrison
For Christians to influence the world with the truth of God's Word requires the recovery of the great Reformation doctrine of vocation. Christians are called to God's service not only in church professions but also in every secular calling. The task of restoring truth to the culture depends largely on our laypeople.

To bring back truth, on a practical level, the church must encourage Christians to be not merely consumers of culture but makers of culture. The church needs to cultivate Christian artists, musicians, novelists, filmmakers, journalists, attorneys, teachers, scientists, business executives, and the like, teaching its laypeople the sense in which every secular vocation-including, above all, the callings of husband, wife, and parent--is a sphere of Christian ministry, a way of serving God and neighbor that is grounded in God's truth. Christian laypeople must be encouraged to be leaders in their fields, rather than eager-to-please followers, working from the assumptions of their biblical worldview, not the vapid clichés of pop culture. ~ J. Gresham Machen
Pop Culture Reference quotes by J. Gresham Machen
Muslim citizens should never be classified according to their creed, origin, ancestry or culture. After all, I don't define my political or social position by reference to the Christian faith. ~ Gilles Kepel
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Gilles Kepel
According to pop culture, women are either searching for a man, with a man, or getting over one. ~ Jessica Valenti
Pop Culture Reference quotes by Jessica Valenti
I started with the book 'Boardwalk Empire' and then immersed myself in the history of Atlantic City, World War I, the temperance movement, Prohibition, pop culture. I even read the news and magazines of the period just to soak in it. That was before I even started thinking of the story. ~ Terence Winter
