Toffs call it social climbing. Depending on the person's attitude and background you can work out if they are just under confident (which makes them ok), a self absorbed dick-head (bad) or a whining neurotic (v bad). These people are usually peer-pressured, inexperienced in life, and think they don't fit in. Solution: get the knowledge about how to be cool, but don't think on it too much. BE cool, not ACT cool. There's a difference. And be part of the crowd, but don't think like the crowd. NB: being popular doesn't involve being a social climber, unless your peergroup are childish twats.
teenage whining neurotic A: I wish I were cooler like Ben. Ben wears Nike, I'm going to plaster my face and back and room with Nike.
teenage awesome dude B: Meh, don't be culturally ambitious, but I get you.

teenage dick-head A: I want to ditch you, move on to these new cool guys so I'm going to change everything about my style to fit in.
teenage awesome dude B: if you want to ADD to your personality and ADD friends, fine, but if you're trade up? fuck you

Alternative culture is a type of culture that exists outside or on the fringes of mainstream or popular culture, usually under the domain of one or more subcultures. These subcultures may have little or nothing in common besides their relative obscurity, but cultural studies uses this common basis of obscurity to classify them as alternative cultures, or, taken as a whole, the alternative culture. Compare with the more politically charged term, counterculture.

The way that we tend to group people based on their characteristics. It is a dehumanizing thought process and often collectively the origin of conflict. Stereotypes arise when people are put in boxes. Category culture proponents believe that we are all one and the same.
“Mom, is that a man or a woman?”
“Not sure, why?”
“Because I can’t tell.”
“Well it doesn’t really matter, they are human.”
In this example, the mother introduced the idea that category culture is unneeded for the individual to be understood as human.

A culture that expects men to buy all the expensive gifts in a relationship. This culture is rooted in the past where men were almost always the primary income earners. Antiquated but carried forward by most cultures globally.
She keeps saying he should buy her more expensive things even tho she earns as much money as him. She clearly is pupetuating the User Culture.
