They are types of culture in that they are types of behaviour and customs within a society.
If we are talking about intellectual cultural pursuits then: ballet. I just don’t get it. The thumps as they hit the stage was always weird for me cf the elegance of it. But there we go. Performance dance just feels quite silly in my mind, but far be it for me to stop anyone else enjoying it. Also, quite a lot of modern abstract art. Doesn’t speak to me in the way it must to others.
Opera is excellent because you can follow the plot but ballet is just a bunch of people dancing around and it’s hard to remember who is meant to be who.
Jiminy agree with basically all of that list, except none of those dance shows at all are acceptable. But none of that stuff is culture as I see it, it’s shit telly or shit telly related beer and skittles bread and circuses that keeps people off the streets for most of the time. But it’s their life.
Also lifestyle shows, obvs. Any Run for the Hills type house in the country show. Ffs. There are towns and villages in the sticks. People live there. They’re backwaters but the scenery is nice. Move there if you like. The End
Did have a PlayStation for a while but it was nicked and I never bothered replacing it.
Not to get “paintings” is an incredibly broad statement. I get that some styles may not be someone’s cup of tea, but dismiss paintings is a bit like saying that you don’t like music .

That's a rather liberal definition of "culture". 😛

Culture has a couple of definitions, neither of which were specified in the OP.

Save the football and boxing, I wholeheartedly agree with Stardust. Basically any reality, game or talent shows are grim.

I agree with my noble Lady Stardust and Lord Laz.
(Apart from the drinking on school nights, which in my dim and distant past I did do with alacrity and ‘parenting’ (not sure why that’s on the list).
I would add to the list:
Facebook
Instagram
A new PCP car every 3 years.
