Everybody who pays any attention to the media or American pop culture at all knows that there is a lot out there that deserves to be made fun of. Sure, I still respect some of the artists, but many of them take themselves too seriously. \nAs a result, I have developed this quiz to test your knowledge on American pop culture. Such knowledge may help you bond with future employers, get respect from the opposite sex or at least remind you of some catchy tunes to sing in the shower. I tried to throw in a few fun facts as well.\nDisclaimer: Seth thought this was funny when he wrote it. None of the questions or answers are meant to offend anyone. Please don't send any more hate mail from the MC Hammer fan club. \nWarning: some of these questions require the recollection of the early 1980s and '90s, while others require imagination.
