Chinese term or phrase: 酷玩文化
Context:
The phrase comes from "流行文化、无厘头、酷玩文化等各种类型的亚文化" in an article describing the art/cultural trends in China.

I searched on the internet but couldn't find any definition of this phrase or any English equivalence. Most hits direct me to the band "Coldplay" lol.

Thank you guys in advance.

it could be, however this "pop culture" is often referred to as 波普文化 in Chinese. I guess 酷玩 could be a sub meaning of pop culture of some sort.

Asker: thanks but I think pop-games is a bit narrow-sensed in this context
