n.
the culture arising from the increasingly ubiquitousness of technology in our everyday lives. Though said to have been coined by Al Gore in the 20th century, this term has recently gained widespread notoriety in popular culture and academia with the emergence, and in the end acceptance, of social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, and even the archaic myspace.com. Internet culture arguably first took root through America Online and its popular instant messaging service, AOL Instant Messenger, in the early to mid 90's and refers most simply to a culture in which human interaction predominately occurs via non tangible means. Opponents of this movement, Neo-Luddites, have argued that the decrease in vis-a-vis correspondence is a dystopian harbinger of globalization.

Cultural appropriation or cultural apartheid is an idea intended to keep the races and cultures pure. Contamination of the dominant culture by external influences must be rejected at all costs. Used extensively by the South African's the idea fell into disrepute until revived by SJW's.
Oh my God! You are doing Yoga, that's Indian culture. You can't be doing that it's cultural appropriation.

A Culture Vulture is a practitioner of cultural appropriation. A Culture Vulture is an inauthentic individual who attempts to identify with aspects of another culture and claim it as their own. They do this by mimicking aspects of culture that belong to another group of people and not giving credit where credit is due, which creates the illusion that the aspect of culture they are mimicking is authentic to them. They also do this by claiming that certain aspects of another group of people's culture originated with them, with no historical proof to back their claims.
"If you were so proud of being white you'd take more pride in white culture, vs. being a culture Vulture and attempting to assume the cultural identity of others through mimicking them and signing your signature on other people's work."

When a gay man has unprotected sex and takes a cum load in his ass and keeps it inside his hole for as long as possible, and it cultures with any other loads, lube, or shit also in his asshole.
When I was in the bathhouse in Fort Lauderdale I was culturing a pearl for three hours before I'd cultured too many and had to use the restroom.

A term used by the dominant culture to make themselves seem edgy and brave. See sheeple and the herd.
"I'm part of the counter-culture!" Proclaims a lone voice in a crowd.
"I'm counter-cultural too" says a second.
"Yes," chants the crowd in unison, "we are all counter-cultural. And we will not tolerate dissent."
(Looting, violence, and or criminal activity soon follow.

Hub Culture is the emerging culture defined by the rise of post-national, globalized citizens who live and work between the world's major hubs and interact in real life with others from shared perspectives.
The term includes perspectives that these groups tend to share in common, including harmonized viewpoints on culture, class, social responsibility, globalization, social cohesion and social networks.
The term first emerged in a book published in 2002 called Hub Culture: The Next Wave of Urban Consumers, which then grew into a loose collective network and a stylized aesthetic.
Hub Culture is largely considered to be one of the first visible impacts of social globalization - an emerging globalization meme following in the footsteps of economic globalization.
Hub Culture includes trends that migrate quickly through urban centers on a global basis, often based on higher-end aesthetics.
Hub Culture people live, commute or travel regularly between multiple world cities.
Many Hub Culture people genetically and culturally identify with more than one city outside of a single country.

Globalized aesthetics that are not necessarily American influenced - such as Nobu - a restaurant concept featuring a mix of Peruvian and Japanese, or Skype - a Scandinavian company that connects heavy global users.
