About: Trivia Trivia can be defined as "matters that are very unimportant, inconsequential, or inessential." This definition may be open to debate, as by the very nature of our interest in the question of who knows more incidental information, it is apparent that trivia may be quite important. For the purposes of Trivia Bowl, Trivia shall encompass the entertainment pastimes of society, their roots and their extensions, and subject matter shall be drawn from the following: 1. Pop Culture & Show Business, 2. Pop Literature, 3. Pop Music, 4. Sports, 5. Miscellaneous Pop Culture Trivia.
