Interest in Popular Culture

Throughout the week, my group and I have been working on a project on popular music and popular culture in the classroom. The reason I chose popular music as my topic is because I know very little about popular music and do not know how to incorporate it into the classroom. However, I’ve realized through the week that I know next to nothing about popular music and popular culture. I’ve also realized that I don’t feel bad about that. I do not have a great interest in popular culture. I do not listen to the radio, watch TV, or watch movies that are not independent films. I don’t have any desire to do any of those things. However, my students will most likely have an interest in popular culture. Does my lack of interest in popular culture limit my abilities as a teacher? Should I be worried about learning and teaching popular culture even though I don’t have an interest?
