It was a true viral sensation. Soon, the clip-launching paradigm was part of pop culture (pun intended), and Launchpad was the de facto hardware facilitator. Madeon’s Pop Culture video captured the imagination of countless creators, but it took several more months for anyone else to step up to the plate.

- May 28, 2016 Loaded up Pop Culture live set but files missing, no sound? Discussion of music production, audio, equipment and any related topics, either with or without Ableton Live. And nothing happened so I didn't even try. I later installed Pop Culture Mashup by Madeon, so I load it up, everything's looking pretty good, stuff is lighting up and all.
- Madeon - Pop Culture (Synth Solo Lead Remake: no plugins, 9.7.1+ compatible. Written tutorial + download!) Gonna start with the download link since half of you probably just want that rather than a long-winded explanation.
- Pretty sure he uses FL Studio, at least for part of the process.Another popular option is Ableton Live. Madeon's samples are very meticulously arranged, so if you if you don't have a background in music theory or some natural gift for composition you might want to get your feet wet somehow.

'Pop Culture' is a mash-up song created by Hugo Pierre Leclercq, better known by his stage name, Madeon. The song was recorded on-the-fly by Leclercq, when he was seventeen years old, using samples from 39 popular songs, mixed using software FL Studio controlled with a Novation Launchpad. Leclercq recorded a video of him creating the mix which he uploaded to YouTube on 11 July 2011. The video went viral within a few days, and since has seen more than 50 million views.[1] The video drew attention to Leclercq and would lead to him being signed by Columbia Records and launching his music career.
Composition[edit]
A Novation Launchpad, which Leclercq used to perform 'Pop Culture'
At the time of recording the song, Leclercq was 16 living with his parents in Nantes, France.[2] Leclercq (at the time, using only his Madeon stage name) was a rising star in the EDM genre, having won a remix competition for the song 'The Island' by Pendulum in late 2010.[3] He subsequently developed remixes for songs by Alphabeat, deadmau5, and Yelle, with the last two praising Leclercq's remixes.[4][5]
Leclercq described the concept for 'Pop Culture' on wanting to show the process that electronic mix artists use during live performances. Leclercq stated, 'When you go see an electro band, we do not really know what they do on stage.'[4]Daft Punk had been a major influence for Leclercq, and had gone to their shows to see how they performed their music live, seeing that they were often just pressing buttons on their panels to make sound.[2]
Subsequently, Leclercq saw an advertisement for the Launchpad, and purchased one. To toy around with it, he pulled samples from his favorite albums and songs at the time.[2] Eventually he had bits from 39 different songs, which included:[6]
- Alphabeat – 'Boyfriend'
- Alphabeat – 'Fascination'
- Bag Raiders – 'Shooting Stars'
- The Black Eyed Peas – 'I Gotta Feeling'
- Britney Spears – '...Baby One More Time'
- Capsule – 'Can I Have a Word'
- Chromeo – 'Mamma's Boy'
- Coldplay – 'Viva la Vida'

He created the video live as he performed the song, uploaded to YouTube, and then left on vacation for about a week. When he returned, he found the video had millions of views, and he had a request to tour Australia.[2] Due to the attention he received from 'Pop Culture' and subsequent singles, Leclercq was approached by various record labels to sign up as an artist.[7]
The song was put into dance form by comedian Nathan Barnatt and uploaded to YouTube in August 2011.[8]
