Top 35 Pop Culture Trends in May

From Virtual Concerts to Boyband Seltzer Promotions

— May 29, 2021 — Pop Culture
To stay up-to-date with up-and-coming ideas and innovations, these May 2021 pop culture trends highlight the most significant headlines of the month.

One notable event lets dedicated Murs fans upgrade their virtual concert tickets using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The underground rapper partnered with The Hot Blocks, a virtual store that focuses on the intersections of hip-hop and blockchain, to make the upgrade a reality. The world of cryptocurrency also welcomed Doja Cat's NFT to the marketplace with her Juicy Drops launch.

Another big move in the world of pop culture this month is NSYNC's Lance Bass' collaboration with Fruit Smash hard seltzer to release the Say Bye to Basic hotline. The hotline gives fans a chance to win a year's worth of Fruit Smash hard seltzer.
