Cultural Appropriation 

Ugly Caucasians with no culture of their own attempting to recreate other cultur, despite not even knowing what race or culture they are attempting to be.
Cultural Appropriation is ugly Indians, complete with spears and hokey fake tattoos, pretending to be Native Americans despite not knowing anything about the race or culture they are attempting to depict.

pop cultural appropriation 

Quoting or using pop culture references without knowing the origin
You: “hey coworker, I need you to resend that report.” Coworker: “ahh, you’re killing me smalls!” You: “oh I love The Sandlot!” Coworker: “What is The Sandlot?” You: That’s the move you just quoted, that’s some next level pop cultural appropriation!

Sub-cultural appropriation 

The adaptation of a sub-culture by non fans/fashionistas.
Example of sub-cultural appropriation:

"Omg Becky, where did you get that trasher shirt I LOVE it."

"I got it at target! It was in the sub-cultural appropriation aisle, next to The Grateful Dead, Nirvana, and Harley Davidson March!"

cultural avpropriation

When your online avatar (av) contains elements from a culture other than your own
It has been alleged that your av is eating a taco but you're Cuban, not Mexican. The only things your online persona is allowed to do are smoke a cigar, drink a mojito, eat a ham sandwich with pickles, or listen to the "Havana ooh-na-na" song. I hereby find you guilty of the heinous crime of cultural avpropriation and sentence you to 50 years in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.
