Popular culture plays a significant role in the construction of cultural memories. Through various mediums such as music, film, television, and art, popular culture shapes the collective memory of a society by constantly reinforcing certain narratives and symbols. These cultural memories are not only shaped by historical events but are also influenced by the representation and interpretation of those events in popular culture. From historical dramas to iconic songs, popular culture immortalizes certain moments and figures, making them ingrained in the memory of a culture. Furthermore, popular culture helps in the preservation and transmission of cultural memory across generations, allowing individuals to connect with their past and maintain a shared sense of identity and heritage.
