Cultural Appropriation

A social construction by sociologists involving an unenforceable non-legally binding property right that doesn't actually exist which infringes on a person's right to extract facts from the public domain in the creation of their own intellectual property.
By creating a work of art, which is your property, which uses the language I natively speak, you are engaging in cultural appropriation, even though you can't copyright a natural language or dialect.

Cultural Segregation

Cultural segregation is the opposite end of the spectrum from cultural appropriation. It is the end goal of people who believe that cultures should stay pure and not mix, and can be considered a form of racism. The phrase "cultural appropriation" is sometimes used disingenuously with the end goal of discouraging culture mixing.
Someone said I was "appropriating Cuban culture" by using that rhythm in a song, but remixing culture is what keeps things interesting. Could you imagine how boring a world of cultural segregation would be, with nobody sharing ideas?

For the Culture

A phrase commonly used to promote behaviors that are accepted in the "woke" sub community such as clout chasing, supporting self proclaimed hoes, balling out of control, golddigging, fighting the patriarchy, promoting radical feminism and promoting radical LGTBQ friendly views.

Most mistake being "For The Culture" as "Pro Black" but it's mostly an anti traditional cultural motif.
Meghan The Stallion lied about Tory Lanez shooting her in the pinky toe for the culture.

City Girls are golddigging for the culture.

That guy tried to tackle Dave Chappelle for the culture.

Heat Culture

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⚓️💯

Screen Culture

The WORST YouTube channel ever made. It posts Al generated trailers for upcoming movies like James Gunns SUPERMAN and The minecraft movie. Also posted a fake Al generated trailer for Sonic 3, a really good movie, before the movie came out.

Karen Culture

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.
