 Hah! That's funny!

But seriously, I think culture is a living thing and ever changing. The activities of human beings, the language they speak, the way they react to certain behaviours, their history and even geography can shape "culture". 

Culture is manifested in music, literature, lifestyle, painting and sculpture, theater and film and similar things.

 Chess is a culture for example!  There is certain language and certain behaviours around chess...

culture is behaviors, beliefs, and preferences that are inculcated generationally through observations beginning at early childhood and reinforced through the duration the member stays within the environment.

cultures can be regional, racial, religious, by interests, etc. 

cultural elements involve language, music, food, work ethic, moral beliefs, behavioral tendencies, gender roles... the list goes on.

looking for more? :)

Culture is what the weak masses view as the safest way to conduct themselves. It is upheld by those who aren't strong enough to be true creators, or, true deviators. In short, it is the putrid stench of collective mediocrity.

I’m just saying, culture is pretty fast here, and if we’re not on the same page, it’s most likely because ure falling behind, not the other way around, I’ve been pretty accurate in the past so no offense
