Is Pop Culture A Waste (Doubt It)

So basically a college professor said that all thing related to pop culture and things that we read, watch, and do on the computer is and are a waste of time, energy, and a waste of our minds...

I completely disagree with the statement. Pop culture is my mind is not a complete waste. If it was a complete waste then all that is current is a waste too. Pop culture can be defined as what is present/current, so currently speaking, would that make this profeessor a waste? There are many aspects of pop culture that are in fact a waste of time. There are some reality shows and some music that are pointless (in my opinion) but then they are alot of other aspects that are fantastic. Tv shows like dirty jobs give us insight and help us see and gain a new respect for people that make life possible. Artists like Lupe Fiasco paint pictures with words and give us a new look on ordinary subjects in life. There are artists, musicans, doctors, etc who all push to strive to make things to better life and improve culture. Pop culture art wise (tv and such) is chosen to be listened to/watched on our spare time. In the article the professor was basically saying that it wasted our spare time.... Spare Time Key Word... Think About it
