A person or group that attaches itself to a fandom it doesn't know or appreciate, only to fight for it to be fundamentally altered beyond sustainability. They live to kill popular components of culture such as books, films, games, and comics.

Progressively unproductive. Doing things that amount to nothing that make you wonder why you just did that. An example being the constant conversation about the homeless in Portland metro yet nothing being done.
Person #1: Hey! How was the protest?
Person #2: Oohh, you know. We protested, it was Portland culture.
Person #1: Wow, too bad you wasted all that time for nothing!

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.
