cultural cross-pollination 

A spicy definition attempting to describe the extent to which cultures have influenced each other. Conjured by Gigguk during the 23rd Trash Taste podcast with Mori Calliope as a guest.

I was wondering like, how many cultural cross-pollination there is.

cultural cross-pollination 

The way and extent that cultures influence each other. Gained some notoriety on the internet when used by Garnt on episode 23 of the Trash Taste podcast. Note that he didn't invent the term.

There has been some cultural cross-pollination between Japanese anime and western cartoons when it comes to visual styles.

Cultural cross-pollination 

Stargate SG1, S1 Ep14 "Hathor", October 24th 1997, the character Dr Daniel Jackson uses the term when referring to his canonical works from the Stargate Film when looking at Hathor's Egyptian Sarcophagus which was found in a Mayan Temple.

"... they recognised the significance of an Egyptian Sarcophagus found in a Mayan Temple. And since I was the only one to ever research cross-pollination of Ancient Cultures... they tracked me down"

Term is later popularised by Youtuber Gigguk during 2020 during a Trash Taste Podcast episode.

"And since I was the only one to ever research cross-pollination of Ancient Cultures... they tracked me down"

And alternative way of saying Cultural cross-pollination
