Introduction
Although popular culture has a history spanning centuries and dates back to at least as early as human history, it is also recognized as new by many researchers (Aydogan, 2004:33; Löwenthal, 2017:16; Roberts, 2011). The reason for this is that it is a poorly defined phenomenon. The recognition of popular culture as a field of study, approaching its modern meaning, became evident in 18th-century England with the rise of the Industrial Revolution and the concept of class. Despite the awareness of popular culture in the 18th and 19th centuries, the reason why it became important as a field of study in the 21st century is attributed to its relationship with technology usage (Ozkan, 2006:30). In this regard, Norris (2012) describes popular culture as a poem written for the 21st century.
