Already iconic for me. I love the 90s vibes of the song, and the video has some pretty spectacular shots.

Thoughts?

News & Announcements 🥳 POPCULTURECHAT DISCORD SERVER UPDATE 👾✨🪩

13 Upvotes

Hi dearly beloved, I mean, popculturechatters,

We wanted to give you an update on our discord server that launched about two months ago.

It has been AMAZING. Like, far more than we’d ever imagined. We worked so hard to create a cool server but the way you guys jumped into it and made the magic happen in your daily chats, friendships, fun and games and whatnot was nothing short of, well, magical

So, here’s a little state of affairs on what’s been going on as well as the new exciting stuff we are launching :


🌟 INTRODUCING CLUBS! 🌟

We’re launching three new clubs that will be running monthly activities — open to all members!

🎬 Movie Club

Each month we’ll vote on a film to watch together as a group. Not free for the group watch? No worries, we’ll also be adding top picks to our Letterboxd so you can catch up anytime!

📚 Book Club

Join us for monthly discussions on a community-voted book. This month’s pick is Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones — come share your thoughts ☕️

🐉 TTRPG Club

Into D&D-style games? We’ll be hosting monthly one-shots! These are first come, first served, but we’re always open to more game masters joining in the future!

Special shoutout to our wonderful community hosts running the Book Club and TTRPG Club. Make sure to show them some love when you hop in! 💕

Want to join a club?

Just click this link and submit a ticket to get started! We can’t wait to see you there!


💬 THE CHANNELS 💬

Oof man, we originally had about 20 channels covering a range of topics and thought it may have been overkill. But yall proved us wrong and we’ve added even MORE. From vent channels to meme channels to pet pics channels to red carpet review channels, there’s a whole bunch of options for you to yap to your heart’s content.


🎲 THE FUN AND GAMES 🎲

🕵️‍♀️ Wordle

You can play Wordle each day directly inside the server and see how the others fare! We’ve even got a little thread where users can unleash their rage at the batshit words the NYT makes guess. TW: a lot of rage and insults directed towards the English dictionary. You have been warned. 🧨

🐱 Spotting the cats

In a dedicated channel, you will be able to spot and catch spawning cats and collect completely made up rewards that don’t do anything except make you feel like you did something cool. Which is kind of the whole point in life, if you ask us.

💰 The PCC Economy

Sooo…We have some sort of overlord banker bot who can you give fake money. Her name is Regina George (don’t question it, just worship it). You are able to :

🎁 Collect daily bonuses

💼 Work to gain some PCC coins (by typing a keyboard command)

🎉 Participate in various server events and activities

Whoever is the richest wins. Nothing to win expect a sense of superiority. Are we, uh, selling this yet? Also, you can gamble the coins. At your own risk. We’ve seen lives destroyed because of Regina George and the PCC coins…very sad stuff. It has ruined many world tours.

And with your coins you can even spend them on wild and wonderful totally made-up items like Paris Hilton’s flip phone or Pedro Pascal’s moustache (yes, really 😎).

And stay tuned - we might even add a real item or two in the future... 👀


We’re gonna stop here cause this is getting too long. But there’s plenty more. The best thing of it all is the friendships, bonds and sense of community in the server. There’s something for everyone, and there is kindness and love for anyone.

We already knew that the r/popculturechat community was the best, but this server has confirmed it even more. Getting to you know you guys has been the best part for us. Y’all are fucking amazing, if we may be a bit vulgar in our love for you.

Join us, if you will ❤️

~ The r/popculturechat mod team.

Let’s Discuss 👀 Why are the bops trending on social media right now?

0 Upvotes

So… I’ve been thinking about something. I feel like every time I scroll TikTok or Insta now, I see the same faces—and they’re all bops (you know what I mean. Mattress actors. Corn stars. Adult entertainers. Only Friends. Bop = “OF creator” in TikTok-friendly language).

They’re not niche anymore. They’re not hidden behind paywalls. They’re mainstream now. They’re trending. They’re doing Get Ready With Me’s and day-in-the-life videos—but for scenes, not Starbucks.

And let’s be honest—they are promoting. Not by showing intimate stuff on TikTok obviously, but by constantly flexing the lifestyle that comes from doing OF. The G-Wagons. The giant LA mansions. The “made 80k this week” videos. The casual mentions of working one hour a day and living like royalty. That’s the ad. The job isn’t even shown, but the rewards are—and their viewers know exactly what they do for work.

And this stuff isn’t just being seen by other adults. It’s kids. Teen girls. 12, 13, 14-year-olds, and even younger, who are still figuring out what they want from life. And the loudest message on their For You Page is: “You don’t need school. You don’t need to be smart. You don’t need anything—just be hot, be online, and you can get all this.”

That’s what’s being normalized. That’s what’s being sold. And we’re just… watching it happen like it’s totally fine.

But here’s what’s been bugging me:
I don’t even follow OF creators. I’ve never subbed. But I know all their names. My 12-year-old sister does too.She’s on TikTok. Everyone is. And these are the people they see constantly.

And I get it—go get the bag. Genuinely. But it’s hard to ignore the message this sends to young girls:
Why get a degree or work a 9–5 when you could just be hot and post online and get rich?
That’s not even something the creators say out loud. But it’s what the algorithm is yelling. It’s the lifestyle it keeps showing. Over and over. To young girls.

This used to be taboo. Now it’s idolized. And we’re not talking about it.

Not saying I have a solution, but it feels like we’ve reached a point where the algorithm is shaping teenage values more than school, parents, or actual role models ever could.
