You might be right that the concept only applies to specific subcultures (in my case, educated relatively well-off Australians).
Maybe another test could be—can you think of someone you’ve met in the past who a critic might describe as “rude/loud/obnoxious” but despite this, they seem to draw in lots of friends and you have a lot of fun whenever you hang out with them?
