cultural heimlich

- when a person’s general taste is bad to the point where it requires sustained shaming and social intervention to improve.

- a campaign of necessary refinement, aimed at the abandonment of flavorless beers, Billboard music, poorly written movies, touristy travel, sweet wine, toddler palates, and more.
“Man, Jason was slamming shots of Fireball last night, listening to Kenny Chesney and defending Michael Bay movies. Then today I learned he only eats meat and pasta! We need somebody to step up and perform a cultural Heimlich immediately!”

“She’s literally going to die of poor taste in her 40s, if we can’t get her a cultural heimlich soon”

Culture Merger

Is when something on the internet leads to a new subculture being formed merging two.
It is the juxtaposition the internet has given us all. With the accessibility of every culture being publicly traded on the internet. These cultures are merging and forming entirely new cultures as one. Things that were once worse enemies before the internet are merging to become one. Namely Emo Rap and a slew of others.

Genre bending like Suicide Year and Waka Flockas gritty lyrics to a melodic not sinister sounding song. This dates further back to CrunkCore, Ninjasonik "Tight Pants Wearing Ass Ni**a", and The Hood Internet. Lil B was a popular proto-pioneer using VG samples and so was SGP in introducing hip hop to goth. It can be seen on all social media. Hipster cultures parodying and willingness to crossover became pop culture through the internet. Kanye West, Dipset, and Pharrell Williams were proto internet pioneers merging rock or in Yes and Pharrells case electronica and rock n roll/eurodesigner styles.

For contrast in the 80s like in the Compton movie Tears For Fears was frowned on by Ice Cube on the bus. In this digital age modern equivalents work together Ariana and 2 Chainz." Slang words like no cap is used universally and black twitter is not exclusive. The internet culture merger has shown the World really is a Wide Web and everything is connected. The internet has and will continue to introduce us to many sub merging of cultures and people of different backgrounds.
Lil peep is a culture merger mixing emo 2000s "sadness", "suicide", and "heartbreak" with typical rap motifs about "ice", "hoes", "money", and etc. Based on Soundcloud and internet popularity it is a internet culture merger. Propogated on Tumblr.

Ariana Grande a pop singer shares hip hop motifs like "Heaven is the same price as Red Bottoms." Name dropping shows the culture merger.
