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.

Cultural Novocaine

When all around you is death and destruction. A regularly scheduled school shooting. And when the news nightly tells you their was 6murders, 4rapes, a kidnapping, 4 domestic violence cases, and a bombing in some far off city, it's hard to care about any of it anymore.

You become totally numb to all of the death, destruction, and any sympathy or pain it would have once created in you. It is like when going to a dentist for work, they numb your mouth. Well society had numbed your brain, your soul with Cultural Novocaine
Hey Steve, did you hear about the 4murders, kidnapping, and bombing of Gaza?

No man I dont care about, or even worry about that stuff, it just doesn't matter to someone numbed by Cultural Novocaine.

Rant culture

Is a community of people who complains, judges, accusing, finding faults on people, companies, media, etc., in which it is now their everyday routine, instead of making a difference or fixing it. This often has bias which often leads to toxicity, conflicts, drama, and discrimination.
"Why do I have alot of 'This ___ Is TRASH and Heres Why' videos in my YouTube feed?"

"Because they now a have thing of their own, it's called rant culture."
