Philistine = No Culture
A conformist in everything they do. A person who is obsessed with sports,
sex (among the High
School and College set in particular, but some may not be at all) and Motor vehicles. They listen to
whatever everyone else is listening to (especially if it is Country
Music, Classic Rock, Nickleback, Limp Bizkit or
rap/Hip Hop in the case of many younger philistines), wear
whatever everyone else is wearing, and avoid anything that is in the least bit unusual, unique, or eccentric. They tend to have little to no use for art, be of limited intelligence, be obsessed with such things as
NASCAR,
golf, Hunting and
Fishing, and tend to drive gas guzzling vehicles like SUVs and Extended cab Pickup Trucks. They are the fuel behind reality television. They love ATVs and all the damage they cause to the land. They could care less about the environment, only recycle if they feel a significant profit is to be made, and think that by keeping everything cut (grass, brush etc, ignorant of the fact that the plants that they are leaving are invasive) and throwing everything in the trash that they are helping the environment.
They are ignorant of geography and
will generalize an entire region under the identity of a single city eg Paramount's King's Island being in "Cincinnati", Disney World being in "Orlando", Coral Castle being in "Miami" and Tybee Island being in "Savannah".
No capability of thinking outside the box or any other sort of critical thinking for that matter.
