When a person submerges themselves in a foreign culture, to the point of feeling that is now their own culture.
- "I always felt a connection with India. Now that I have dreadlocks, wear a scarf around my head and have given away all my shoes, I feel complete"...
..."dude, that hippy has Culture Syndrome. What a tool".
When a unique, independent individual usually between the ages 12-25 gets rapidly sucked into the empty void of what's popular among the masses. Symptons include, but are not limited to, owning an iPod Nano new generation, listening to Eminiem, Kanye West, Ke$ha, etc., believing autotune to be "talent," having the irresistable urge to shop at Hot Topic, thinking you're an epic fan of a band because you play their Guitar Hero song over and over again, and either being a Justin Bieber fan or a "hater" who says he's gay despite not evening have heard of him.
I recently lost my ex-best friend to Pop Culture Syndrom.
