What Affect Has Covid-19 Had on Pop Culture?

 Im going to specifically focus on pop culture migrating to streaming sites. Now, as the coronavirus spreads and social distancing becomes essential, streaming may become the main site of collective cultural experience. Schools are closed, movie theaters and performing arts spaces are have shut their doors, and sports are on hold. Suddenly, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Apple, Disney+, Spotify, and so on, are now the only way people can connect to the culture without physically being at the event. Streaming movies and performances on television do not compare to seeing a them on opening night but that is unfortunately the only way for people to watch while staying safe indoors. Im also going to focus on the closing of theme parks and conferences outside of the U.S. All of the Disney Parks in Asia have closed. Tokyo Disneyland announced it would close for a two week period when the pandemic started, Universal Studios Japan and Legoland Japan followed suit, and Disney’s two Chinese parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong closed indefinitely in late January. Also, the Game Developers Conference, which was supposed to take place in San Francisco starting on March 16, has been postponed. The conference organizers made the call to move the event to the summer after several major tech companies and developers like Facebook, Electronic Arts, and Sony announced they wouldn’t be attending due to health concerns according to https://www.gq.com/story/how-coronavirus-is-affecting-pop-culture-around-the-world. Obviously this pandemic has taken away a lot of cultural experiences for people all around the world and people are just working with what they have for the time.
