What does Popular Culture mean to me?

Thanks for pointing this out.  My definition of Popular Culture is:  "A grouping of various traditions, media pieces (sound, print, and visual), and styles that define a set group of people" I know that seems to be a very antiseptic response, so let me try to put it into other words.

For me, popular culture allows us to give reference to a particular period of time.  For example, when I ask you about the 1940s.  In a historical mindset, you would think of the World War II.  In a pop culture mindset, you may think of big band music, or radio programs, or the movie "Casablanca".
