RE: How to keep up with Pop Culture
I'm thinking the best way without becoming too much of a degenerate is listening to cultural critics like Jordan Peterson or Camille Pagilla... Peterson will give you a psychologist/ philosopher/ student of religion's perspective while Pagilla will give you more of an old feminist angle. They're both really interesting to listen too. To a lesser extent, and for more entertainment, Gavin McInnes. I also find Chomsky pretty hilarious, but he hates commenting on pop culture. And this would be a really left field recommendation, but Slavoj Zizek is super entertaining, and you get a eastern european, marxist, psychoanalyst angle. It really depends on the angle you're looking for.
I regularly read Breitbart to keep up with leftist pop culture trends, but Taki Mag is also a good source, that focuses on longer form pieces.

RE: How to keep up with Pop Culture
I'm going to tell you something that has become evident to me over the past six months and has helped my game immensely.
There is no need to build rapport with girls you are fucking.
I used to jump over myself to engage and pander to whatever the girl I was interested in was also interested in.
Then I realized that as an alpha, every interaction should be framed as the girl chasing you. You are bringing her into your world, and there is no need to seek rapport with her. In fact, by actively not seeking rapport, she will chase you and her attraction for you will grow.
The college-aged girls I have had as fuckbuddies did not care that I knew about "pop culture" or not. In me, they saw an educated, intelligent older man that they could learn from.

You don't have to pander, but what do you think it is that led to them knowing you are an educated, intelligent, older man. It's the conversations you had which in turn built rapport. You don't need to go out of your way to learn pop culture to build rapport, but you do need to build rapport in one way or another to sleep with a girl most of the time.

Yes, I guess I should clarify, there is no need to built rapport by pandering.
However, rapport can still be built by simply shutting up and letting the girl do the talking. She will chase rapport and come into your world.
