Culturati

A collective of artists who are deeply interested in cultural matters. They often times are driven to inspire others with their talent or passion of the arts.

Those kids are so passionate about art and music, they must be part of the culturati.

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 Appreciation 

Cultural appreciation is taking the time out to learn about different cultures and their traditions. To become more open in understanding the truths about a culture and embracing them in a respectful manner.

Every culture is absolutely beautiful and unique, and it's no wonder other cultures want emulate that.

Unfortunately, Cultural Appreciation can get confused with the term Cultural Appropriation

Cultural appreciation is enjoying foods and music from different cultures, and giving credit to the source.

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 Catholic 

Someone who identifies with at least some Catholic teachings and traditions, likely because of upbringing, but is not active in the Catholic Church.

A "cultural Catholic" was raised in a Catholic family, probably attended Catholic services as a child, and possibly attended Catholic school for at least a few years. Catholic teachings and traditions may influence the person's behavior, decision-making, and holiday celebrations, but a "cultural Catholic" no longer attends Mass or practices his or her faith. The person may continue to attend weddings, funerals, and other events that take place in the Catholic Church but does so out of consideration for family and friends rather than as an expression of his or her own faith.

That family goes to the movies rather than to Mass on Christmas Day, but they still incorporate a manger into their holiday decor because they're "cultural Catholics."
