Sub-cultural appropriation

The adaptation of a sub-culture by non fans/fashionistas.

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!"

Vocal Appropriation

When you are a bad singer and try to cover Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and so you get awfully out of pitch and then someone tries to sing it too and also get out of pitch and so they are appropriating your culture of getting out of pitch.

John: *singing I Will Always Love You out of pitch*
Mary: *also singing I Will Always Love You out of pitch*
John: Hey, I got out of pitch first. Stop appropriating my vocal capacities, that's vocal appropriation!

Cultural Appropriation

A social construction by sociologists involving an unenforceable non-legally binding property right that doesn't actually exist which infringes on a person's right to extract facts from the public domain in the creation of their own intellectual property.

By creating a work of art, which is your property, which uses the language I natively speak, you are engaging in cultural appropriation, even though you can't copyright a natural language or dialect.

You: “hey coworker, I need you to resend that report.” Coworker: “ahh, you’re killing me smalls!” You: “oh I love The Sandlot!” Coworker: “What is The Sandlot?” You: That’s the move you just quoted, that’s some next level pop cultural appropriation!

Cultural Appropriation

Ugly Caucasians with no culture of their own attempting to recreate other cultur, despite not even knowing what race or culture they are attempting to be.

Cultural Appropriation is ugly Indians, complete with spears and hokey fake tattoos, pretending to be Native Americans despite not knowing anything about the race or culture they are attempting to depict.
