Here is what is actually defining pop culture right now:

🎭 – We don’t want squeaky-clean good guys anymore. We want complicated messes. Think Succession , The White Lotus , or Saltburn . We love watching terrible people have beautiful furniture.

📖 – Forget the New York Times bestseller list. If a book has sprayed edges and a "morally grey love interest," it will sell 2 million copies by Tuesday. Reading is officially cool again (as long as you annotate it with pretty tabs).
