When it comes to pop culture knowledge, it's interesting to see how each person can recall things so differently if they hail from certain generations. Those that were born in the 1990s will remember certain actors better for roles they had during recent years, rather than those from an older generation that remember them when they were much younger. The same can be said for television shows since not every generation grows up on the same sort of television shows year after year.
While some people think of pop culture knowledge as a bit of fluff when it comes to general intelligence, it's important to realize how much pop culture knowledge comes into play when interacting with others. If someone chooses to reference a well-known phrase from a popular television series, it can create an instant bond with another individual if they're familiar with the show. Yet, the result is completely different if the reference is lost on the other person. From engaging with co-workers at the water cooler to breaking the ice on a first date, it's interesting how much pop culture knowledge can come into play in daily life. Test your own pop culture knowledge and see if we can tell you how old you are based on your answers.
