Here is my curated list of sources based upon topics covered on this blog for students of Youth & Popular Culture, past, present and future:
Kotaku
http://kotaku.com/
The place where I get all of my video games news and information. There is also very good games criticism posted on here every now and again.
BuzzFeed
http://www.buzzfeed.com/
This site presents popular culture in a fun and creatively appealing image-based way. Occasionally serious topics can be found on here too, presented through pop culture references. A 'listicle' (an article structured as a list) style of article is prevalent here. This is a good site to see what is trending in the public's conscience at the moment.
Tumblr
http://www.tumblr.com/
Want to know what all the kids are talking about? Sign up to this site and find out. Everything that's remotely popular in popular culture is shared on this site ad nauseum.
Critical Distance
http://www.critical-distance.com/
A site dedicated to publishing and spreading the word on video games criticism of a high standard. To find out how video games affect us and why they are relevant to popular culture, this site has links to and publishes its own quality games analysis.
A.V. Club
http://www.avclub.com/
A.V. Club covers all kinds of pop culture news -- film, books, video games, music and TV. A writer I love to read on there goes by the name of Rowan Kaiser who reviews TV shows by episode.
