internet culture

n.
the culture arising from the increasingly ubiquitousness of technology in our everyday lives. Though said to have been coined by Al Gore in the 20th century, this term has recently gained widespread notoriety in popular culture and academia with the emergence, and in the end acceptance, of social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, and even the archaic myspace.com. Internet culture arguably first took root through America Online and its popular instant messaging service, AOL Instant Messenger, in the early to mid 90's and refers most simply to a culture in which human interaction predominately occurs via non tangible means. Opponents of this movement, Neo-Luddites, have argued that the decrease in vis-a-vis correspondence is a dystopian harbinger of globalization.

Culture Vulture

A Culture Vulture is a practitioner of cultural appropriation. A Culture Vulture is an inauthentic individual who attempts to identify with aspects of another culture and claim it as their own. They do this by mimicking aspects of culture that belong to another group of people and not giving credit where credit is due, which creates the illusion that the aspect of culture they are mimicking is authentic to them. They also do this by claiming that certain aspects of another group of people's culture originated with them, with no historical proof to back their claims.
"If you were so proud of being white you'd take more pride in white culture, vs. being a culture Vulture and attempting to assume the cultural identity of others through mimicking them and signing your signature on other people's work."
