Popular Thug Drink posted:That's exactly it. Transculturation or cultural diffusion is sharing of culture, appropriation is the taking of culture by using an object or symbol incorrectly in such a way that it is harmful to the original, sincere meaning. people have unironically suggested this band to me and it is offensive in that they think this is what metal sounds like.

unlimited shrimp posted:Talking more generally about the SJ quip about poor white people being made to feel uncomfortable. I've met enough SJ enthusiasts who like to needle white people because they feel it's justified, but will then turn around and talk about structural injustice and how it's "not about you, individual white person I just mocked." people as a whole are vain, selfish, stupid, and petty. SJW have good intentions, and are just as lovely as everyone else because humanity sucks.

Woolie Wool posted:Also the whole "elitism" business and genre hairsplitting in heavy metal fandom is really about trying to prevent their form of music from being appropriated and commodified by bourgeois society because having your culture turned into a token for rich people to use to compete based on leisure tastes is bad but most metalheads are neither well educated nor articulate, and thus rant at "posers" and "hipsters" or engage in rank misogyny, homophobia, or racism. metalheads argue about this because inherently many of them are already social outcasts and weirdoes and they over attach themselves to the musical genera of their choice and then derive self worth from their perceived status in the metal community.

Effectronica posted:Well, personally, I'm glad that you've decided to boldly declare for nihilism, like so many other people in the USA. It will make it so much easier for me to convince my fellow Americans that blood sacrifices and deification of the Presidency are 10,000-year-old American traditions. good because people are stupid, knock yourself out.

Effectronica posted:It's frankly more than a little disturbing to see the complete collapse of culture in this way. No wonder so many people feel that appropriation is inevitable and necessary, when they think that their mother culture is meaningless and everything in it is pure poo poo. It's just the more cynical version of seeing a plastic shaman or believing in the healing power of crystals. This is frankly far more of a concern for leftism than children saying dumb things on social media. american culture is trash, same as most of the other ones

Effectronica posted:Yes, Gantolandon, white people are ignorant savages. Finally, you have come around to that basic revelation. the one way you could fix the world would be to kill all the white people

SedanChair posted:It's saying exactly the truth, which believe it or not, not every young person is aware of. It needs to be stated repeatedly until everyone is aware of the history, and then if people want to keep doing it we can say they are making an informed decision. lol

Cultures suffering from appropriation should just build more culture buildings like monuments
