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.

Get the Man of Culturemug. Ope! See that? See, it's not that the cancel culture is bad and wrong. It's not the top down ideological control by way of the media being used to destroy people lives for trivial things... It's the religious conservatives not being in control of everyones lifes. That's the problem with cancel culture. The REAL problem is that THEY should be doing the canceling.
Hym "But... Matt... You said that the tactics they use are fascistic... You spent years saying that the woke left are the REAL fascists... And now your solution is to... Do the thing that made them fascists? So... You ARE a fascist! A fascist theocrat with a God complex. Nutsworld. This cancel culture is the death of freedom and if you take one thing away from this I want it to be this: On a long enough timeline, what you're doing is going to necessitate violence. You might not even live to see it. But it'll be whoever you indoctrinated to believe what you believe before you die (probably you kids) and the are going to be slaughtered and they are going to deserve it. And I'm going to laugh. It's going to be hilarious to me! Because I will have been right... Again! And being right is my favorite! Ahahahahahahahaha! Even if I'm dead. You'll KNOW that I WOULD HAVE laughed. And that's just as good. It makes my laughter eternal. HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!"

Get the coaster culturemug. Someone who simps for another culture than their own due to the belief, either conscious or unconscious, that they can take a mental vacation from their own culture this way. Thus a culture simp is by definition messed up in the head. Some culture simps are driven to create theme parks to convince themselves of belonging to another culture, especially when in a grandiose phase. They also like to visit theme parks safely ensconced in their own culture like the center of a Russian nesting doll, but American, of course. Not to be confused with prejudice, which has a chauvinistic flavor.
You know you're a culture simp when you go slumming at Epcot Center.
An important biopsychosocialparalegalphilosophical question to ask is whether all biracial people necessarily have multiple culture simp personalities, definitionally speaking, or are they transcultural?
Only Rachel Dolezal knows whether she's a culture simp; I have no opinion.
