Happy
Birthday to You The main problem in discussing American
popular culture is also one of its main characteristics: it won’t stay American.
No matter what it is, whether it is films, food and fashion, music, casual
sports or slang, it’s soon at home elsewhere in the world. There are several
theories why American popular culture has had this appeal. One
theory is that it has been "advertised" and marketed through American films,
popular music, and more recently, television. (1) They are,
after all, in competition with those produced by other countries.
Another theory, probably a more common one, is that American popular
culture is internationally associated with something called "the spirit of
America". (2) . The final theory is less
complex: American popular culture is popular because a lot of people in the
world like it. Regardless of why it spreads, American popular
culture is usually quite rapidly adopted and then adapted in many other
countries. (3) "Happy Birthday to You," for instance, is such
an everyday song that its source, its American copyright, so to speak, is not
remembered. Black leather jackets worn by many heroes in American movies could
be found, a generation later, on all those young men who wanted to make this
manly-look their own. Two areas where this continuing process is
most clearly seen are clothing and music. Some people can’ still remember a time
when T-shirts, jogging clothes, tennis shoes, denim jackets, and blue jeans were
not common dally wear everywhere. Only twenty years ago, it was possible to spot
an American in Paris by his or her clothes. No longer so: those bright colors,
checkered jackets and trousers, hats and socks which were once made fun of in
cartoons are back again in Paris as the latest fashion. (4)
. The situation with American popular music is more
complex because in the beginning, when it was still clearly American, it was
often strongly resisted. Jazz was once thought to be a great d. anger to youth
and their morals, and was actually outlawed in several countries. Today, while
still showing its rather American roots, it has become so well established. Rock
and roll and all its variations, country & western music, all have more or
less similar histories. They were first resisted, often in American as well, as
being "low-class," and then as "a danger to our nation’s youth." (5)
And then the music became accepted and was extended and developed, and
exported back to the US. A. As a result, its American origins
and roots are often quickly forgotten. B. But this theory fails
to explain why American films, music, and television programs are so popular in
themselves. C. American in origin, informal clothing has become
the world’s first truly universal style. D. The BBC, for
example, banned rock and roll until 1962. E. American food has
become popular around the world too. F. This spirit is variously
described as being young and free, optimistic and confident, informal and
disrespectful.
