The Culture Game

A game of social acceptance amongst piers, primarily played by middle aged mothers. The game involves; Performing activities simply to brag about them to other mothers, trying to create a false image of a perfect family to the outside world and pretending to care about certain socially acceptable things.

An example of a mother playing "The Culture Game" is when she drags her family to a museum, that she has no interest in, only to brag about it to her friends and tell them how "insightful" and "refreshing" it was. Another example is when a mother forces her children to attend a gathering even if the children have no connection to the people who will be at the gathering, simply to uphold the image of the perfect family.

The Culture Game comes from a place of longing for social acceptance and fear of rejection. The middle aged mothers are scared of being honest and truthful with their piers, scared to admit fault, disinterest and show weakness, which results in them dragging their families through the mud to keep up the facade.

"Yeah, she doesn't even like wine, but I guess her pride is more important than her taste.."

culture

the word cult & future put into one word. Basically something that started out as a cult that spread to the point in the future that it is now the culture that everyone holds to.
Alot of people probably don't realize that culture is just the future of a cult that starts its roots a long time ago and over time this is what we have.

Cultural depression

Being depressed over the idea of wanting to live in another place or cultural.

E.i. Visiting England, and reminiscing about your experience wishing you could go back or live there.

Cultural depression can act in crying, becoming extremely upset because you are not currently happy to where you are to now.
I really wish I could visit Ireland again. I love it there so much, I miss the people, food, and everything about it. I'm experiencing cultural depression.
