white people who are incredibly enamored with the idea of Iceland and may have an idealized or inaccurate notion of what constitutes Icelandic culture and heritage.
This is not an unfamiliar concept: some non-Japanese people people fetishize Japanese culture, myths, and customs. Others fetishize Ireland, its legends (fairies, anyone?), and its landscape. This sort of thing is almost always done with an inaccurate understanding of the country and culture, and often with no discernible explanation for why that person, who has no real reason to claim the culture for their own, would decide to do so.
And recently, there's been a bizarre wave of people fetishizing Iceland.
Usually it's done by people who seem to think the entire country is populated by clones of Bjork and Jonsi Birgisson, and who don't realize the beautiful photographs of the Icelandic landscape are all taken during the spring, because there is no sunlight for most of the winter. Also this is a culture where fermented shark meat is part of the traditional fare and if you don't eat it people think you're a wimp. FETISHIZE THAT oh yeah baby, rub that shark meat all over my face. Love that cheesy ammonia smell.

Everyone makes it a point to attend Frank's parties. They always turn into more than just a kickback. Last month his Netflix and chill turned into an all out Scatalina Wine Mixer.

Get the Scatalina Wine Mixer mug.A common phrase yelled while watching Game of Thrones that encourages more binge drinking. Usually said with some enthusiasm and excitement while being screamed as often as possible.

Get the bum wine mug.Women who are in the older crowd(Usually mothers) that sip wine throughout the night, and sometimes post on social media about it. Their posts are abnormally sincere, with comments made by fellow wine moms, relatives, or other parents. The main focus of a wine mom is to stay classy, share intriguing quotes(Usually decorated with graphics dating back in 2004), and to be the embodiment of Linda Belcher. The opposite of a Vodka Aunt.
Wine Moms on Facebook:
"Darling, size does matter... when it comes to your wine glass, LOL."
"Oh Linda, you're such a wild card!!! say hi to Bob and the kids for me!"
"LINDA,,, THIS IS GRANDMA GLORIA,,,, I'M TRYING TO SEND A FAX, CALL ME ASAP,,,"
