Duck Dynasty and Pop Culture

Popular culture is known as a contemporary lifestyle and items that are well known and generally accepted, cultural patterns that are widespread within a population (“Popular culture,” 2013.)  Personally, I feel that popular culture is the current trend, style, and the “what to do” or “how to do” when going through difference circumstances whether it comes to raising your children or family activities. Reality TV shows have taken over TV and one of the most popular is A&E’s Duck Dynasty, which first aired on March 21, 2012. The one-hour, third season finale (aired on April 24, 2013) tallied 9.6 million viewers (“Duck dynasty,” 2013.)

A&E is launching a social competition to make fans part of Duck Dynasty’s marketing; the viewers will submit their Duck Dynasty fan art via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter using “CamoCameo. The fan that gets the most votes on their submission will earn a walk-on role in a Duck Dynasty TV commercial with the Robertsons (Edelsburg, 2013.)
