Culture Coasting

The phenomenon in which a culture—whether national, ethnic, or subcultural—achieves visibility, popularity, or influence in media, fashion, language, or other domains of society, often without active participation, endorsement, or control by members of that culture themselves, thus reaping proportionate benefits or recognition. Culture coasting typically occurs when elements of a culture are adopted, commodified, or spread by outsiders, creating the illusion of cultural momentum.

Thanks to culture coasting, artists from outside Jamaica (e.g., Drake, Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, or international DJs) often incorporate Jamaican sounds, slang, and rhythms into their work, thus increasing Jamaica's soft power in music.

Far North COASTING

When somebody has lived rhere entire life in the Far North Coast and have reached an existential plateau due to lack of oppurtunities that come as consequence to the geographical positioning of the area.

Bloody Bob, all he does is smoke bewgs and drink rivet from aldi. I wish he would just stop Far North COASTING and get out to see what lies beyond.
