Relating to being on safari.
- The purposeful immersion by one racial, cultural, and/or socio-economic group into the surroundings, cultural trappings and even geography of another group, which ultimately feeds into the Safariist's own deeply rooted feelings of both jealousy and/or superiority.
- Treating the culture, religion, food, music, language, sexual orientation and overall identity of more "exotic" groupings as an interesting diversion, entertainment or fad, primarily there for a Safariist to enjoy as pop entertainment.
- Viewing the differentness of others as condescendingly "precious," "cute" or "neat."
- An intense fascination by the real or wholly perceived exoticm of others.
- Akin to Caucasian safari goers in Africa, ensconced safely behind their pith helmets, armed guards, and lion-proof glass, viewing the rare and exotic wild animals of the Serengeti - just going about their normal, mundane existence in their natural habitat - with giddy fascination, wonder, and an odd combination of envy and pity.
Mr. and Mrs. Whitebread, ever the bored, suburban couple, were on full-blown cultural safari while attending the Hindu wedding, delighted and entertained by all fragrant exoticism surrounding them.

One cannot talk about the culture of 2010 without dividing the decade in half.
The first five years were pretty damn good. Pop culture was at its peak during this time, characterized by sensational music videos like gangnam style and the harlem shake, and pop artist icons such as Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and Katy Perry. During this time period, EDM (primarily dubstep, electro and big room house) had become the new standard of pop music, slowly replacing rock-influenced pop music of the 2000s. Internet meme culture was becoming more and more mainstream, characterized by troll memes, rage comics, impact font image macros, and—by late 2014—finally evolving into the more familiar dank meme culture (shrek, mlg montage parodies). Other memorable cultural phenomenons around this time include Kony 2012, the "end of the world" on Dec 21 2012, and the ALS ice bucket challenge. This was also the time where smartphones and tablets were on the rise, laying the foundation to today's smartphone-driven society. Overall the first half of this decade was pretty cool and entertaining, lighthearted even, and did not disappoint.
The second half, however, is where everything went downhill. Not even starting with the apocalyptic election of Donald Trump, pop culture in general began devolving into a cesspit of mediocrity, where the entire industry seems to have shifted to a more methodical approach, relying more on generic yet effective formulas than ever before. This was the time when fidget spinners and dabbing were actually a thing, and when ASMR, mukbang, and slime videos started becoming all the rage. It is also in this second half of the decade where politics and social justice became a large area of concern (and contempt) to the public eye, which led to the widespread use of terms such as 'SJW', 'snowflake', alt-right', and 'liberal cuck'. Memes have also devolved, relying heavily on shallow humour, cringe, making innocent things look vile, and absurdity. Pretty much the second half of this decade is just a more shallower, convoluted, and depressing version of the first half.
Other notable cultural trends of the second half include, but are not limited to: fidget spinners
Person 1: Man, I miss 2010s culture, back when we had rage comics and back when filthyfrank was still active
Person 2: So I guess the 2010s must be your favourite decade
person 1: Well yes, but actually no.

A group of no life individuals whose only purpose is to pray for the downfall of anybody that's famous that makes the tiniest of mistakes. Usually these Neanderthals are found on Twitter
Ex: My favorite celebrity got cancelled because he had made a joke on Twitter and now the cancel culture is after him

'Believers' who fill their collective empty life with passionate hatred against anyone or anything they don't like or can't understand.
We, as collective cultural marxist, hate you because you are a creative business man, which means you should be just a sinner no matter how much you have achieved.

A scavenger, circling the media, looking for scraps of originality to add to their conceit. They sport eclectic styles and tastes, always recognisable as having been borrowed without adaption or refinement from elsewhere.
David Bowie is probably the best example of a successful culture vulture.

This article refers to English subculture. Virtually nobody in England refers to the country as Britain, but for some reason, most Americans do, so hopefully this title will help the Americans among us find what they're looking for.
It's a worldwide misconception that English culture revolves heavily around Tea, bowler hats, walking canes, deducing things and saying little idioms like "spiffing!" and "tally-ho old chap!".
This is infact, not the case.
Sadly, Britain is becoming more and more like America every day, due to the majority of television shows being aired coming from the USA.
Yes we drink Tea, but we also drink as much, if not more coffee.
you will never hear anybody say "spiffing!" or some similar phrase except if they are the living dead from the 1900's, or being sarcastic.
I've lived in England all my life, and i've never seen a single Bowler hat except at fancy dress parties
We do, however, have a thriving youth subculture. England's Answer to the American Gangsta is the Chav, who think they're solid as rock, when infact the word is a business term derived from "Chelmsford Average". It was originally used to describe a typical resident of the English area of Chelmsford. These people had relatively low paid jobs, but spent almost everything they earnt on very distasteful items, and were seen dripping with gold, much like a gypsy.
so to conclude, British culture is prety much the same as American culture, but (usually) with less arrogance, attitude or the belief that we own the world.
Thank you America, your pollution haunts us all.
Chav 1: Look guys. This TV show from America shows black guys in gangs.
Chav 2: wow! maybe we should pretend to be black, and hard. Hey, if it's from USA it must be good!
Chav 1: But won't we become annoying wiggers?
Chav 2: Nevermind. We'll just develop extreme arrogance and kick the seven shades of shit out of anybody for so much as breathing near us.
Chav 2: Yeah man! Let's kill british culture!

A 1980's British pop band. Consisted of Roy Hay (guitarist, keyboard), Mikey Craig(bassist), Jon Moss (drums) and George O'Dowd, also known as Boy George, who was the vocalist. New Romantic style of music. Famous songs are "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?", "Karma Chameleon", "Time(Clock of the Heart)".
Culture Club was a good band, however they did not stand the test of time.
