Beetle Invasion on Pop Culture!
There is one remarkable vehicle that is sure to have infiltrated Pop Culture more than any other cars did—and that is the Volkswagen Beetle. While part of its success goes to the VW Parts, the car is still able to show how its individuality could cater to what everyone is looking for.
Remember Herbie? What about that unforgettable Beatles’ album Abbey Road, wherein a VW Beetle was captured in the photo? (Fast facts: Due to the band’s fame and the iconic popularity of the car, its license plate was reportedly stolen by fanatics, and it was later on exhibited at the Volkswagen Museum in Germany.) How about that famous car game called Slug Bug? (Fast Facts: This car game is played by whacking the person next to you—in a not-so hard manner—every time a Beetle passes by…which happens quite a lot.) Do any of these sound familiar? I’m sure they all do. The Beetle is as essential as learning how to cross a street. Indeed, the car’s round-shaped and very unique physique has brought it to be embossed in everyone’s minds. Not bad for a car that is named after an insect, huh?
As the generations passed since its birth in the 1930’s, its integral VW Parts all the more strengthened its might to be an all-around car. If you are familiar with the Baja Bug, this means that you know how good a Beetle can be when it is prepared to go for a ride on rough roads. As an avid fan of films, or even the small screen (cartoons or not), you will know just how much the Beetle has conquered the media too. Its new generation, the New Beetle, is just as popular, but nothing can outsell the classic Bug.
So, has the Beetle become a part of our culture? Yes, very much. In fact, just ask the children today. For in spite of Volkswagen’s permanent halt in producing Beetles, the kids still do know what it is, and just how essential it is to our roads.
