Pop culture fiction

Pop culture fiction is a type of literature, usually in the form of a novel, movie, or TV show, that is inspired by popular culture. Popular culture could be anything from a certain trend or style, to a style of music or dance. Pop culture fiction often features characters or stories that are humorous, current, or trendy. It usually has an escapist feel, meaning it takes the reader or viewer away from their everyday lives and into a more playful, exciting world.
