pop-culture sponge

A person who soaks-up popular culture like a sponge.

Absorbing trends and styles wherever you are then rinsing them out to keep only the things you really like.

Aesthetically aware and sensitive.
A cool-hunter is actually another name for a professional pop-culture sponge.

A pop-culture sponge, soaks up the styles and trends wherever he/she go.

When you pay attention to and absorb your surroundings from a cultural point of view you are literally a pop-culture sponge...just make sure you digest and wring out the things you dont need and dont want to keep.
