This essay examines the arguments that social media might disrupt the entertainment industry's dominance. To enhance in-depth comprehension of the argument, terms like "social media," "hegemonic power," and "culture industry" will be defined. Also, this essay will consider specific examples to depict how social media has changed the balance of power in the production and reception of cultural products.
