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) "Happpy 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 daily wear everywhere. Only twenty
years ago, it was possible to spot an American in Pads by his or her clothes. No
longer so: those bright colors, checkered jackets and trousers, hats and socks
which were once marie fun of in cartoons are back again in Pads 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 danger 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 ’n’ 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 %
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.
