cultural blood money

The wealth accumulated by media figures that make crude, violent, disgusting or repulsive content before they switch to a "softer" side and try to redeem themselves and all of the social flotsam they've helped create. Examples include Arnold Schwarzenegger, PewDiePie, Sarah Silverman, and The Weeknd.

Viewer: "Did all that cultural blood money go into funding your podcast?"
Sarah Silverman: "Yes and I now support Bernie and urban gardening."

Progressive Half-Culture

Invented for those who feel that they have been judged by history, or at least that they are falling, but who still strut in front of their peers as if they were an interior elite.
--Negative Dialectics, T. Adorno

Rappers and theories on black pharohs are examples of progressive half-culture.

pop culture bargaining

A system of exchanging pop culture. You agree to watch or listen or read something such as a movie, tv show, or book and in exchange a friend will have to do the same.

I will watch Blades of Glory if you listen to The Bealtes.
I see we are pop culture bargaining...interesting.

Cultural Appropriation

When non oppressed groups of people (primarily white folk) adopt key cultural “taboo” trademarks from POC and intentionally/unintentionally make them hip, trendy, and acceptable.

So when Taylor (who is black) put her hair in cornrows she was ghetto but now that Tina’s (who is white) hair is in cornrows, cornrows are now trendy?

Yes.

Why?
