- Summary: In late August last year, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, a Seattle-based rap group, released a single called “Thrift Shop.” This song has topped the charts multiple times. But besides getting people humming along to its catchy melody, Thrift Shop is also creating a lot of interest in thrift shopping. Varun Dhananjaya, a youth producer with RadioActive Youth Media at KUOW, looked into this phenomenon.

A Different Look at Pop Culture

It's great to hear a different side of pop culture. Very relevant topic! I really liked how all the people involved gave a different perspective. The part that stood out to me the most was the wide variety of somewhat professional clips. I am guilty of falling for the song and singing along with all my friends, which is what made this piece so fun to listen to. This piece makes me think about the song as more than just a top 40 song, but instead a meaningful piece that can relate to many people, especially teens. All in all, this piece brought to my attention a new perspective which will make me think twice about doing something that will make me fit in versus something that I actually want to do.
