Popular media today is a massive, interconnected ecosystem that does more than just entertain; it shapes our global culture [1, 2]. From the viral TikTok trends that dictate music charts to the "prestige TV" era of streaming, the way we consume content has shifted from passive viewing to active participation [3, 4].
The rise of digital platforms has democratized entertainment, allowing niche creators to find massive audiences alongside traditional Hollywood studios [5, 6]. This constant stream of media creates a shared language—memes, hashtags, and fan theories—that bridges geographic gaps and turns solo viewing into a communal experience [7, 8]. As technology like VR and AI begins to merge with storytelling, the line between the audience and the content continues to blur, making popular media more immersive and influential than ever before [9, 10].
