AnonymousCulture originally went by the stage name Anonymous????. In 2009, he added Culture to the pseudonym to articulate his strong belief embracing individuality. He described the addition in a 2010 interview, "To be a culture, is just that, man. Be You!...No matter your age or race, I just want them (people) to stand out by being themselves".
