A uniquely individual appreciation i'm sure will see with everyones answers, as popular should be specific to ones own interests.
I will say that there are specifically 2 types of popular (i'm sure many more defining qualities aa well...)
Type 1: "Lived & Experienced Popular"
That which has been intrinsically ingrained within each one of us from all senses experienced during our upbringing, along with many impressions from our parents. All our life experiences as well as programmed influences culminating in the choices we make and or are attracted to. That resulting appreciation, like or interests is what we choose to like & love!
Type 2: "Collectively Programmed and Group Think Popular"
Nearly all forms of media from newspapers to videos, music & social media is specifically curated whether knowingly or not by the viewer, to direct and influence ones mind. We are bombarded daily by propaganda and marketing which intends to tell us what we are to find popular, whether it be real or completely MANufactured.
Simply put, Popular is either ones accumulated experiences & daily influences.
Or more often in this new era, what we are told is supposed to be popular because other people like it.
In essence, Popular can be whatever YOU want it to be.YOU are what makes popular popular, for without your and our collectives coherent interest, it would just be another something out there...
