Ever since 2020 began, the sudden pandemic has disrupted the progress of multiple industries around the world. Up to now, this disaster has yet to recover. Business, political, and entertainment industries all continue to face many difficult challenges.
Under these troublesome times, all current industries should focus their efforts further on rebuilding together. Through the darkness, we find hope, and through hope, we always find a way. Although 2020 thus far has been rather disastrous for individuals and companies, we must strive harder to improve the current situation, and undoubtedly, we will fight through.

With the promotion and popularization of Internet entertainment platforms, young generations can share their interests. The subcultures that were once have begun to appear more in the public's field of vision. From idol culture to e-sports, from rap to electronic music, from street dance to music band; the various elements of the subculture that are sought after by young people have started an explosive growth in recent years using the Internet platform as a springboard in China. It is foreseeable that the popular culture dominated by young people and the audience will continue to grow in the next few years and will play a significant role in China's entertainment market.

They discussed what should be paid attention to while popular culture has gradually become the mainstream culture.
