POP! Art was based on the consumer culture of the 1950s and 60s. The culture of this time was based upon conformity and mass production and consumption due to the flourishing economy of Post World War II. The term Pop Art was coined in 1956 by Richard Hamilton's "Just What Makes Today's Home So Different, So Appealing?" which is a work of art that features many products that would be seen in the American home. To Andy Warhol, another well known Pop artist, said Pop art would be of images that people would immediately recognize. For example, Warhol had repeating images of coke bottles and Campbell soup cans to represent the mass reproduction of the consumer society.
"Pop Art was a visual art movement that emerged in the 1950s in Britain and the United States. The origin of the term Pop Art is unknown but is often credited to British art critic Lawrence Alloway in an essay titled "The Arts and the Mass Media", although he uses the words "popular mass culture" instead of "pop art". Alloway was one of the leading critics to defend Pop Art as a legitimate art form."

It made people want to wear brighter colors.
In the US it is often believed that Warhol invented Pop Art. He did not. It was used in Britain 5 years before Warhol.
The art form of pop art evolved as a direct retaliation to the high brow culture of traditional art, that was only supposed to be created by a few. That art was expensive and far away from reality. Pop art was born as a modern form, that was affordable and much more relevant to current day culture.
Pop Art
Pop art did not critique post-war culture. Conversely, it used what was popular in society as a medium for art.

Yes. Pop culture and contemporary art have historically had a lot of crossover, particularly in the 1960s, when artists such as Andy Warhol appropriated imagery from mainstream pop culture by incorporating them into his artwork.
Pop art takes imagery from news and popular culture and incorporates it into the art, where as a new media artist uses the world's current technology to create works of art.
