taking aspects from a minority culture, for it's aesthetics, without knowing the meaning behind. this is often controversial when the appropriated culture was exploited or oppressed by the person "borrowing". people are often insulted and looked down upon for having these features naturally, when someone else is praised for having them, without being from that culture.

A culture that casually promotes sexual assault and often involves victim blaming. It can take the form of men being treated as less masculine for being a survivor, a woman being told she's a whore and should have covered up in order to prevent rape, or prison rape not being treated as seriously as regular rape.
Jack: I was raped.
Joe: You can't have sex if you aren't erect, so obviously you wanted it.
Jack: That's a myth caused by rape culture.

What Wapanese kids believe to be the actual culture of Japan.
Days in Japan are spent watching Anime while eating Pocky. The only music popular in Japan is the kind that comes Anime, and occasionaly some J-rock. The only books found in the stores and libaries are Manga.
On the street everyone greets each other with an obnoxious "Konnichiwa" or "Ohayo" while holding a peace sign next to their eyes.
Everyone's wardrobe consists of a Japanese School Uniform mixed in with either bright "Kawaii" colorful clothes, or nothing but black gothic clothing that is still "Kawaii". Also everyone spends their weekends in a cosplay outfit from their favorite Manga or Anime.
Japanese people wake up everyday hoping that this is the day Westerners come to their country. They can't wait to welcome them with open arms so they can talk about Anime, and have conversations that contain the 5 Japanese words that Wapanese kids know.
Otakon is this culture main holiday. When Wapanese kids flock to the Baltimore Convention Center to see what they believe is Japan.

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.
