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.

Get the Cultural appropriation mug.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
