Cultural cross-pollination

Stargate SG1, S1 Ep14 "Hathor", October 24th 1997, the character Dr Daniel Jackson uses the term when referring to his canonical works from the Stargate Film when looking at Hathor's Egyptian Sarcophagus which was found in a Mayan Temple.

"... they recognised the significance of an Egyptian Sarcophagus found in a Mayan Temple. And since I was the only one to ever research cross-pollination of Ancient Cultures... they tracked me down"

Term is later popularised by Youtuber Gigguk during 2020 during a Trash Taste Podcast episode.
"And since I was the only one to ever research cross-pollination of Ancient Cultures... they tracked me down"

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.

landmine culture

A culture where speech is heavily policed and saying the wrong thing will get you thrown in jail.
The year is 2077. Location: Germany. Landmine culture has become so prevalent that insults are banned. Even the slightest hint that you made someone uncomfortable will see you behind bars. Never mind calling someone a dick, you can't even call someone a banana. They've banned that too.

Metrics Culture

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.
"My riding buddy can't even fart without checking his smartwatch, he's been swallowed by metrics culture."
