One of the things I've always been interested in is pop music. Well, that should be obvious, don't you think? I mean, really -- it's probably less an interest than an obsession. But that's all right, too. However, one of the other things I've been interested in is the use of language and social constructs, like how society views gender and all that kind of happy stuff. The cultural aspects of that kind of thing. And, well, since I'm an American Pop Music Consumer, when I'm talking or thinking about "culture", I'm typically thinking of what Fancy-Pants Guys The World Over term "low" culture. Which us non-Fancy-Pants Guys The World Over call "pop culture" or "awesome stuff like movies or records and, like, stuff".
