No Such Thing as Alien Pop Culture: Difference between revisions

** Aslan have a fancy for decorated weapons and elaborate epics. They also have insult contests, bragging contests, and tall-tale contests. Recreational dueling (which often requires a ritual insult that the recipient ''pretends'' to be offended at) can be either an Aslan high culture or a pop culture depending on how the GM presents it. However their [[Proud Warrior Race]] ethos makes them one of the straighter examples.

** Of the [[Fantastic Racism|Major Races]] Humans, Aslan, Vargr and possibly K'kree are really the only ones to which this trope could apply. Hivers and Droyne are [[Starfish Aliens]] so it is hard to say what would be high culture and what would be pop culture among them. Among the Hivers the "topical clubs" might count as pop culture.

** Never any mention of ''alien'' pop culture, but that's because no Imperial citizen ''cares'' what the [[Fantastic Racism|filthy xenos]] do with their free time.

* Part of the background of the ''[[Teenagers From Outer Space]]'' role-playing game is that Earth has the best pop culture in the galaxy. There may be some pop culture put out by alien races, but it's our Hat and the reason all the aliens have come to Earth.
