mainstream
'Mainstream' and 'Popkultur' both have to do with things that many people know or like. 'Mainstream' refers more to the prevailing taste or the opinion of the majority. The word can fit in many areas, for example politics, fashion, music, or lifestyle. 'Popkultur' mainly refers to cultural things for a large audience, such as music, films, series, fashion, or trends. The words can be confused because pop culture is often in the mainstream. But not everything in the mainstream is pop culture, and 'Popkultur' describes the cultural area more specifically.
