Welcome to Acculturated (a-culture-rated), an online magazine about the virtues and vices of pop culture and why pop culture matters. On this site, we take a good look at pop culture and ask why? Why does pop culture resonate with so many people, and what does that say about the world we live in and the kinds of lives we are living? At Acculturated, we look through the looking glass to see what pop culture reflects about us.
