I don't think it's related to "pop culture consumption." I know plenty of pop-culture mavens who are great people with a lot going on. I think it's "consumption." If you rely largely on passive entertainment, your worldview and lifestyle reflect that which you consume. If you are more about active entertainment - building things, making things, doing things, participating in things - then you have more input into what makes up your makeup. If your primary hobby is watching television, you get whatever you get out of television. If your primary hobby is blogging television, you are actively attempting to craft a narrative out of your life and inflict it on others.
