Culture Coasting

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.

A consistent standard

Hym "You're not applying a consistent standard and you don't have a right to do this. You have to on some level understand that I don't just have to accept this as 'my life' and leave your kids out of it. You're wrong to do this and you cannot be allowed to use this against people without consequence. But I can threaten your kids without there needed to be any consequence. You kids lives do not matter more than mine and I'm not going to apologize to you. Make a statement or else. This is the way it needs to for me to agree to not murder your kids over this and I'm not accepting any conditions or contingencies."
