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.
