culture fit

Cultural fit means that employees' beliefs and behaviors are in alignment with their employer's core values and company culture . But also a schneaky-ass way to only hire people who you like or who look like you.

"Unfortunately, even though you graduated magna cum laude from MIT and you've worked for Goldman Sachs for two years already even though you're only 18 - you being a black chick doesn't go with our culture fit of white nerdy guys from CalTech.

alternative culture

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.

In London, Camden Town was known for its alternative culture.

culturally ambitious

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

Consequence Culture
