If you look it up on Urban Dictionary, all the entries for the term "Culture Vulture" are all negative :

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=culture vulture

A person or an organization making profit using unhonorable practices from a culture they do not care for.

Someone who steals traits, language and/or fashion from another ethnic or social group in order to create their own identity.

A Culture Vulture is an inauthentic individual who attempts to identify with aspects of another culture and falsely claim it as their own. They do this by mimicking aspects of culture that belong to another group of people and not giving credit where credit is due, which creates the illusion that the aspect of culture they are mimicking is authentic to them

A scavenger, circling the media, looking for scraps of originality to add to their conceit.

A person who loves art, music, movies, and dance, and all forms of culture so much that they consume whatever they find, whether or not it's any good. Like birds that scavenge by the roadside, culture-vultures feast mindlessly on art wherever they find it.

Not really, I beg to differ. In the right context. Though with negative connotation.

Also, your definition is narrow and contrasts with Cambridge dict
