A mildly mocking synonym for the United States. It originated in the song “Another Pleasant Valley Sunday” written, in 1967, by American song writing duo Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The song, recorded by American group the Monkees, highlights an obsession that Goffin and King thought was common to many Americans namely to increase their status. To have a bigger house, a better car, more televisions, more of everything than anyone else to show how “important” they are. They don’t actually need all this stuff, they just want them as status symbols.
Now before anyone gets pissed off and rejects this definition, think about it; the phenomenon may be more widespread and common than people think, why do so many people try to get a definition on Urban Dictionary? Is it to include a new definition, or a variant of an existing definition to increase the useful content of Urban Dictionary, or is it to give them something to boast about to their friends, a status symbol?
Incidentally, if you think Goffin and King were being too general about Americans and status symbols consider the group that recorded the song, the Monkees. They were manufactured by the American music industry in an attempt to rival the Beatles, so were the Monkees musicians or an attempt at a status symbol?

With thanks to Gerry Goffin and Carole King.

Get the B1 Hand Symbol mug.A lifestyle which certain African-americans subscribe to where they embrace racial "black" stereotypes because mainstream society already blames them for the negative perceived actions. "If your doing the time, you might as well do the crime." The name Samboism is derived from the offensive "classic" character Sambo, used in the past to racially portray African Americans.
Your a black person who follows all the rules, yet all the white people and other ethnicities still just see you as a criminal because of your complexion. So you say F*¢# it and you put a durag on, a coogie hoodie, roca wear baggy jeans, and some Jordan's you stole from a person who worked for them. Then you rob a liquor store for cash, 40ozs, grape crush, and newports; they gonna think your gonna do it any way so you might as well do it and get the money and products.
He is a samboist. And a terrible person.
Immortal Technique: civil war- "I don't hate on the south,I respect their vision, I just hate on n¡??@$ that promote Samboism.
