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.

Mild: Likes japanese culture. Watches anime but other shows too. Talks about it rarely so it’s not annoying. Eats japanese food a good bit. When someone doesn’t like the culture, they respect their opinion. This is Usually Chronic.
Mid: Loves japanese culture. They watch anime a lot and rarely watch other shows. They talk about the culture a lot, and they eat japanese food a lot. When someone doesn’t like the culture, they say “ok” but are mad about it. This can be Chronic or a Phase.
Severe: Extremely Obsessed with the culture. All they watch is anime. All they talk about is japanese culture. They eat japanese food for most of their meals. When someone doesn’t like the culture, they get super defensive about it and if it’s their friend, they unfriend them. In rare cases, they may even be part of the buddhist religion. This is usually a phase.
Please keep in mind that JCOD doesn’t affect Japanese People because this is their culture that they are part of.
