Westaboo is an internet slang term used to describe a person who is obsessed with or imitates Western culture, often to the point of fetishizing it. This term usually refers to individuals from non-Western countries who idolize Western trends, customs, and ideals, sometimes even at the expense of their own culture. The term is commonly used in online discussions and social media platforms to criticize or mock those who excessively try to adopt Western elements.
Examples:
1. Sarah just posted another picture on Instagram wearing a cowboy hat, boots, and denim shorts, while holding a fake gun. She’s such a Westaboo, constantly trying to portray herself as a Western cowgirl even though she’s lived her whole life in a city.
2. The new K-pop group’s music video is full of Western elements, from the outfits to the set designs. Some fans think they are going too far and becoming Westaboos, completely abandoning their unique Korean style to conform to Western trends.
