Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the influences of pop culture on literary phenomena in the context of the Romanian post-communist period, explaining the cultural-aesthetic differences. Starting from several studies that have influenced the Romanian literary works, the paper presents the contemporary direction in the study of literature published in the past 32 years: starting with the predilection for non-fiction writings in the first years after the 1989 Romanian Revolution, continuing with the ”2000 generation”, which was based on a new style – caustic language, defiance of literary customs or prosaic formulas –, and concluding with the work of the post-2000 generation, where we notice new codes of behavior and sensitivity, new sensibilities, where feelings and anxieties are created and poured into the online environment, while global contexts are becoming more popular (human rights, global warming, pollution, mental health).
