In Popular Culture
In an episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Braff, Zach Braff plays a high school student in a skit where various high school interest groups are attempting to select a theme for the upcoming senior prom. Braff’s character suggests a Garden State theme because the soundtrack "changed life", but the prom committee describes it as a "Pitchfork mix CD". Braff's character, Brian Bernstein, replies that he happens to know "...those songs were very carefully chosen"'; nevertheless, the idea is quickly dismissed. He then puts on headphones with the sound of "New Slang" by The Shins playing in the background.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers another.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The best hopes of any community rest upon that class of its gifted young men who are not encumbered with large possessions.... I now speak of extensive scholarship and ripe culture in science and art.... It is not large possessions, it is large expectations, or rather large hopes, that stimulate the ambition of the young.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
