Note
A respelling of cult whose joke is in the letters: the v gives the word a Norse look that suits the scene it describes. As humorous slang it cuts both ways, praising raw, underground purism or teasing the rules, like gigs where you must wear make-up or be thrown out. It compares with more and most (more kvlt, most kvlt) rather than an -er ending.
