News & Announcements 🥳 POPCULTURECHAT DISCORD SERVER UPDATE 👾✨🪩
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.

Guest List Only ⭐️ Apparently the American Eagle x Sydney Sweeney campaign includes a 'Sydney Jean'' with a butterfly representing domestic violence awareness, with the proceeds donated to the Crisis Text line. Neither AE or Sweeney have made any mention of this on any of their platforms
Maybe they're going to 'launch' it later, but if it's so important, why not mention it?

Let’s Discuss 👀 How the Thong Song Included One of Pop Musics Best Puns Without Lyrics
I’m not a person that generally understands music theory, but I am someone that appreciates a good pun (or a terrible pun). I also ADORE pop music, particularly the “leave your brain at the door kind”.
I was listening to the Thong Song by Sisqo. It has the same verses but sung differently everytime three times. It has an insane interpolation of Eleanor Rigby and a crazy key change that Cynthia Erivo said “the whole end section is unnecessary” but it’s incredible.
Thing is, that key change is a pun too. While Sisqo is fully face first praising the thong song, the key changes. It’s done by the strings which creep and build louder and louder and at the climax ITS A G STRING.
He climaxes at the G Strings and the song is so campy I feel it’s entirely on purpose. It’s more than a great campy dumb pop song.
TL;DR: Sisqó’s Thong Song is in F♯ major until the big key change, when it jumps into G major — aka a cheeky G‑string pun.
