Pop Culture (song)

"Pop Culture" is a song by the French electronic music producer Madeon. Released in 2011, the track is a mashup composed of samples from 39 different popular songs, primarily from the late 2000s and early 2010s. The songs sampled span various genres, including pop, electronic, and hip-hop.

The song gained significant popularity online, particularly on YouTube and SoundCloud, and helped to launch Madeon's career internationally. Its high-energy arrangement and recognizable snippets of well-known songs appealed to a broad audience. "Pop Culture" is noted for its intricate construction and the clever way in which Madeon blends the various samples into a cohesive and danceable track.

The success of "Pop Culture" can be attributed to its nostalgic appeal, its innovative approach to music production, and its accessibility across different age groups familiar with the sampled songs. While not an original composition in the traditional sense, its artistic merit lies in its creative re-contextualization of existing musical elements.
