The main medium for expressing the popdada views is everyday clothing and attitudes as it was in Punk.

Popdada is a subculture of creative people wearing bright colours, DIY clothes and doing culture jamming. Somewhat similar to emo(through the outfits, but rather preferring colours than black) and also to new rave.
