Definition of Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist

  1. The spirit of the time; the general intellectual and moral state or temper characteristic of any period of time.

Meryl Streep

Jack Kemp

Alexander Payne

I'm absolutely obsessed with The Jesus And Mary Chain and Patti Smith, but I'm a massive pop fan. I love pop culture, It's a total reflection of the zeitgeist.
