That's stretching the definition of "pop culture" to the breaking point. There's a commercial aspect necessary that can't really have existed before modern capitalism, let alone how recent the concepts of children being distinct from adults (and teenagers even existing as a cohort) are in western culture. There was always art, always folk culture, always what your survey professor might call "memes" to get the freshman off their phones, but Pop Culture is a product of industry.

The phrase "pop culture" has existed since the late 1800s and the idea since long before then. It's almost always been used as a dismissive way to refer to 'low class' entertainment. You're even doing it here where you're creating a barrier where 'art and folk culture' don't count despite plenty of both having been created for cheap entertainment, to make money, or both. Even many things considered Great Works Of Art were by no means intended as such. Dante's Inferno was basically a dude's angry fanfiction and Shakespeare was no stranger to bawdy crowd pleasing material.

Lol at anyone who thinks Van Halen will be remembered in 400 years. The fact that anyone remembers them now puts them in the top .1% of musicians, it's bizarre to think a 17-year-old would know them.

I'm from 400 years in the future and Van Halen are remembered. Trumps 2032 campaign to rule the world was kicked off with "Hot For Teacher" and we all know how well that went.
