Cultural Appropriation

Dumbass people that think it’s ok to take styles or pieces from culture and call it a trend. Even though it’s usually used as another way to call white people racist, it’s actually a real problem. Some dumb bitch is going to use something when she ain’t been through the cultures struggle.

Person 1: OMG look at my cornrows, what a new fashion trend.
Person 2: Since when is a cultural style allowed to be a trend. Bitch that’s cultural appropriation.

Cultural Appropriation

When non oppressed groups of people (primarily white folk) adopt key cultural “taboo” trademarks from POC and intentionally/unintentionally make them hip, trendy, and acceptable.

So when Taylor (who is black) put her hair in cornrows she was ghetto but now that Tina’s (who is white) hair is in cornrows, cornrows are now trendy?

Yes.

Why?

Cultural Appropriation

When individuals chose to utilize an aspect of another group's culture for fashion or financial gain. These individuals as outsiders, often lack knowledge about the significance of practice they imitating within the given culture. Typically individuals who practice cultural appropriation feel extremely entitled, and lack a sense of awareness or respect for the people who actually practice the cultural traditions.

White people dressing like native americans, asians, black people, and other cultural groups for halloween. White people practicing yoga purely as a form of exercise without understanding the historical roots. White people who listen to rap music, but have no black friends. These are all examples of cultural appropriation, because people who have and practice these cultures do not approve of these acts.

Cultural Disaster

The result of a music producers attempt to create innovative music through unconventional collaboration between different cultural styles, trends and other phenomena in hopes that the novelty of the work will capture attention of consumers.

Usually this innovation stays within familiar boundaries in order to avoid testing any actual comfort zones of the listener, resulting in an uninspired, overplayed marketing gimmick which, at least in principle, would actually be offensive to many individuals provided anyone actually took the time to think about it as something other than a marketable product.

A sarcastic account of a cultural disaster would resemble something similar to the statement concerning the music video for the Lady Gaga song "Telephone" that follows: "I love how Lady Gaga, Beyonce and some of their backup dancers wear torn up American flags as costumes while dancing in a bar where the plot indicates they just murdered all the patrons, while singing about the perils of people trying to call your cell phone while you are drunk at a club. It conveys respect for themselves, pride for their nation and, most important of all, makes a lot of sense."
