actually, I thought my original comments on the subject pretty well summed up my position:
"now there's a phrase that just makes my skin crawl...makes me want to vomit...makes me feel like I'm channeling George Carlin during one of his "fuck you, you trendy scumbag" rants
coffee is not a culture, it's a damned hot beverage and nothing more!"
but since you insist on more: basically, I see culture as another one of those over-used words that loses a little bit more of its meaning each time it's tacked onto something that someone is a little too preoccupied with.
"gun culture"..."drug culture"..."coffee culture"
what's next? "paper clip culture"
I see it as a pretentious way to describe a (possibly unhealthy) interest in something. when everything is a culture, then nothing is.
