Pop singers, like Kayne West, Lady Gaga, Nicki Manaj, and even Taylor Swift, have all incorporated science fictional imagery and themes into their songs and music videos. SF is no longer a quietly ignored sub-genre of entertainment. How do these huge pop music culture uses impact the science fiction being produced today? Is it easier to identify as an SF fan today ... or is it just annoying to see our subculture being capitalized on?
