There seems to be a lot of work needed on the Popular culture page, missing citations and unverified/unverifiable information on the page. The page reads like an essay, and I want to try to fix this. Somethings that I noticed off the top of my head that I would like to implement would be:

Want to work on the origin of popular culture more-- something like “the rise of popular culture”.

Fix “Labelling penny dreadfuls the Victorian equivalent of video games, The Guardian in 2016 described penny fiction as "Britain's first taste of mass-produced popular culture for the young".[14]” Maybe make a new section with penny dreadfuls and how they promoted popular culture. The main focus should be talking about how this was a spark for popular culture.

Reorganize the definitions section, this could be made into a different subsection so the flow of the article is better within the History section Move the ''“The abbreviated form "pop" for popular, as in pop music, dates from the late 1950s.[20] Although terms "pop" and "popular" are in some cases used interchangeably, and their meaning partially overlap, the term "pop" is narrower. Pop is specific of something containing qualities of mass appeal, while "popular" refers to what has gained popularity, regardless of its style.[21][22]”'' Section because it randomly appears in the section.

Film section needs to be reworked, as it simply states that “films started massive popular culture”.
