Portland Culture

Progressively unproductive. Doing things that amount to nothing that make you wonder why you just did that. An example being the constant conversation about the homeless in Portland metro yet nothing being done.

Person #1: Hey! How was the protest?

Person #2: Oohh, you know. We protested, it was Portland culture.

Person #1: Wow, too bad you wasted all that time for nothing!
