pop history

similar to "pop science". Pop history is an interpretation of history to explain historical events, objects, and sources to a general audience. What makes pop history different from pop science, however, is that, unlike pop science, pop history often uses a straight narrative perspective, making history seem a lot more simplistic than it actually is.
"These are 10 reasons why I think Oversimplified is an influencer of the ever-growing genre of pop history."

Canadian History

Popularized by the Colbert Report, the Canadian History is an act in which a man performs a maple syrup colonic on a female at a Tim Horton's. This is followed by the male (typically with pubic hair in the shape of a maple leaf) putting his dick in her eh-hole. It is often finished with an apology. Fur trapping is a common side effect.

revisionist history

When people, with the benefit of years (or generations) of hindsight and typically with ulterior motive, try to rewrite history as it originally occurred.
1) "The Holocaust was media sensationalism. Assuming it even happened, it was exaggerated and is revisionist history.

2) "Alabama was National Champions of College in 1941, per the Houlgate Poll. And became revisionist history in 1983 thanks to UA SID Wayne Atcheson, who'd go on to be author a fantastic biography about Jay Barker." citation needed
