Cultural Wasteland

A place in which people have no (or no access to) social institutions of a genuine, historically developed culture, and are thus reduced to considering the mundane or vulgar as culturally significant.
That town is a cultural wasteland; people only congregate at places like McDonald's and Walmart and consider trashy car mods and bootleg drugs to be part of their collective identity.

Man, I wish there was something to do this weekend that isn't just meaningless consumerism. What a depressing cultural wasteland.

wasteland 

Refers to a raw, grimey, industrial area suitable for BMX sessions and are most common in Dirty Jersey(Northeast) and NYC. Most people view this habitat as nothing more than an eye-sore or detritus. Overwhelmed by fear and disgust, most riders wouldn't dare pass the visible "No Trespassing" signs. TeamPiFF members are often found lurking in the darkest of alleys and dungeons with no visible signs of resent or phobias.
