Basically cultural appropriation but specifically regarding memes. Memetic appropriation is when somebody says a meme reference but they don't actually understand the context behind the meme and have no idea where the meme originated from. They only say it because everybody else is saying it.
User 1: This joke ain't even funny
User 2: r/wooosh
User 1: Stop memetic appropriating, you didn't even spell the sub right

1. A card played in Cards Against Humanity that sounds like it works and won't get your video demonetized, until you or someone else decided to read too far between the lines. See too appropriate
1b. A card played in Cards Against Humanity that actually works too well, so it doesn't get picked.
2. An excuse that shouldn't work, but it does. Works best in the form of something you might find on a notecard or some similarly sized, stiff, paper-like object

1. Well, the black card is “(Blank) reminds me of my weeaboo days” so an appropriate card is “sitting in my room with the lights out watching unrealistic videos by myself”… wait… that could mean something else…
1b. Well, the black card is “(Blank) reminds me of my weeaboo days” so I’ll play “being a weeaboo”. Wait, “sitting in my room with the lights out watching unrealistic videos by myself” won? I guess I played an appropriate card.
2. So, I was just getting arrested for stealing thousands of dollars of Hasbro games from Toys "R" Us, but I managed to grab the get out of jail free card from one of my new monopoly sets. Take that, racist cops!

Things, clothes, music, movies, games, etc. that are suitable for school.
(I.e. not violent, indecent, provocative or profane)
although most music isn't really that school appropriate

Example of sub-cultural appropriation:
"Omg Becky, where did you get that trasher shirt I LOVE it."
"I got it at target! It was in the sub-cultural appropriation aisle, next to The Grateful Dead, Nirvana, and Harley Davidson March!"

when someone appropriates their own culture for attention and monetary gain. In contrasts to sell outs they are selling in. They are selling goods, particularly through the media, within their culture for a profit. They have little interests in their personal lives. They will normally end up marrying outside their race and living outside their community. However, they believe they are making a positive in their community. Instead they are sending conflicting messages.
Donald and Jordan are not aware of their conflicting appropriation. They want to bring awareness to racial issues through entertainment. Yet they show little interest in their personal life.

The family friendly show/celebration was not age appropriate because of overt (dildo attached to singer screaming SEX! SEX! SEX!) sexual content.
