Similarly, the average American has fallen out of love with pop culture, since it isn't actually popular culture, it's the fringes of culture trying to drive the status quo.

It can't actually succeed though, because it doesn't agree with itself. At best it can help humanize the fringes. At worst, it will do the opposite because it tells the status quo that out of all of the multitudes of valid ways there are to be, theirs is the least valid.
