Cultural Disaster

The result of a music producers attempt to create innovative music through unconventional collaboration between different cultural styles, trends and other phenomena in hopes that the novelty of the work will capture attention of consumers.

Usually this innovation stays within familiar boundaries in order to avoid testing any actual comfort zones of the listener, resulting in an uninspired, overplayed marketing gimmick which, at least in principle, would actually be offensive to many individuals provided anyone actually took the time to think about it as something other than a marketable product.

A sarcastic account of a cultural disaster would resemble something similar to the statement concerning the music video for the Lady Gaga song "Telephone" that follows: "I love how Lady Gaga, Beyonce and some of their backup dancers wear torn up American flags as costumes while dancing in a bar where the plot indicates they just murdered all the patrons, while singing about the perils of people trying to call your cell phone while you are drunk at a club. It conveys respect for themselves, pride for their nation and, most important of all, makes a lot of sense."

Quar Culture

The recent, emerging and growing (mostly virtual) culture enervated out of the safety precautions and societal changes resulting from the SARS-COV2/COvID-19/coronavirus pandemic . Examples of this culture include the exponential increase in Zoom communications, WFH (Work From Home) experiences, quarantining (as recommended by the CDC for 14 consecutive days after possible exposure to a person with COVID-19 or anyone outside of the household you live with who may be an asymptomatic carrier able to infect you. Tik-Tok and virtual/in-person hybrid schooling and masking up, staying 6 feet apart, etc... these are all parts of Quar Culture. It is out of this Quar Culture that our future zeitgeist will emerge, but forever with the foundational influence of this world-changing pandemic.

Eating disorders in adolescents are worsening during the pandemic because of the large role social media plays in Quar Culture.

IITK Culture

The campus culture of IIT Kanpur; usually characterized by making freshmen sit in a circle and forcing them to hold each other's dicks and justified by the senior batches in the name of increasing senior-junior interaction. IITK culture continued to deteriorate over the recent years and met a horrible death in 2017.

Y15 : These Y17 guys have really destroyed the IITK Culture.
Y14 : True. How are we supposed to interact with them when they can't even hold each other's dicks?

mencel culture

This is the term to refer to the culture of "men" who complain like children about someone being called out for inappropriate behavior. It seems that they only engage in this behavior when a man is called out. It's pathetic.

Joe: "I just think that it is wrong to judge his whole life on him allegedly sexually assaulting that woman."
Jill: "I just think that you are a bitch for defending anyone who violates another person. He was convicted by a jury of his peers. There were men on the jury who looked like him. You are so into mencel culture it is amusing. Whine on!"
