Remix Culture

Awesome NPR article

My example of remix culture is Adrian Younge presents the Delfonics. Combining and remixing soul music and old 70's western with hip-hop.

Pulp Fiction

Pulp Fiction and genre are like peanut butter and jelly. Pulp fiction is made up entirely of genre based literature. Stories have to follow a typical story arc and have defining characteristics of  that genre.

For example the Maltese Falcon which is a noir genre. It features a stone cold detective that is quick on his feet, and knows always what to say. There is always a beautiful woman who is in need of help, and falls for the detective. Trench coats and being followed are also always a must. There are always twists and betrayals as well.

Readers buy Pulp Fiction books expecting these elements to be in the book. They want their moneys worth of entertainment.
