A subculture gaining traction worldwide, brought about by the ever expanding technologies capable of monitoring performance and bodily functions. Metrics ostensibly meant to help individuals perform better, lose weight, sleep better or just feel better may impart helpful information but also feed a never ending spiral of performance obsession and weight loss fixation. Replacing intuition about one's own body with a set of numbers may move the individual further from reality than closer to it.

Get the Metrics Culturemug. A business culture that was created in response to the numerous "Karen" videos posted online in the early 2020s. Rather than listening to genuine complaints (bad customer service and poor quality of product etc) many employees began assuming that anyone who complained, regardless of the legitimacy of the complaint, was a "Karen" and would not put any effort in fixing the underlying issue, as it was assumed by the employees that it was the customer with the issue rather than the business itself. As a result, the issues within the business were never fixed resulting in a gradual exodus of consumers and, ultimately, the closure of the business.
People use to love that restaurant but the quality of the food and the customer service got so bad that it just wasn't the same. There were a ton of negative reviews of Google about these issues but there never seemed to be any effort to acknowledge or fix them. It was a victim of Karen Culture.

Get the Karen Culturemug. People wonder what is "Heat Culture"... Heat Culture is discipline, accountability, work ethic and enjoying somebody else’s success. As the #OG, it's my job to set the tone. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready. @GQ @GQsports⚓️💯

Get the Heat Culturemug. A cult that nobody voluntarily wants, so its forced upon by others. In other words, culture easily breeds an toxic environment where everyone is "friendly", yet secretly hates each other based on social class, wealth, education,etc.

Get the Culturemug. A culture that only exists in the spirit realm or another dimension, but not necessarily in the mortal world.
'Before the Greek gods called themselves Olympians, in ancient Greek times, they called themselves Etherians, because they were so ethereal and descended from the upper-air, Aether. Etherian was a spirit culture, because it didn't exist in the mortal world, but only in the gods' realm.'

Get the Spirit Culturemug. It’s the shared goals, shared vision, shared thoughts of the Miami Heat NBA Basketball Team. It is discipline, accountability, work ethic, and enjoying somebody else’s success. It is the hardest working, best conditioned, most professional, unselfish, toughest, meanest, nastiest team in the NBA. Everything they do is about winning. It’s not about anything else. So they ride with that. They think about that. It’s something they believe in. It’s for them. It’s not for everybody.
Everybody's given themselves to the team. Whatever the team needs, and there's no ego about anything right now. … That's Heat culture.

Monday morning at the office a guy recites a movie phrase to his coworker as if it was never heard before...depicting him a cultural clepto.
