I answered earlier, but I think I have a new idea... Inspired by the title actually.
Pop. The Weasel's riddle - Pop goes the weasel. Some nursery rhyme i think.
My culture is like no other
Pop culture.
Programmers use me lots
Functions pop_front or pop_back.
----EDITED----
Sometimes I am with my two brothers
Reference to snap, crackle and pop, three brothers from a cereal brand. Suggested by Irishpanda, Kevin, and David Starkey, thanks!
An affiliation with dogs
Balloon animals can pop. Balloon animals are often made into dogs.
Other suggestions:
popCORN -> CORNdogs suggested by hexomino sounds reasonable. pup being close to pop suggested by kaine, but an earlier comment that the dogs aren't real might cross that off.

$\begingroup$ The answer is correct, the dogs and brothers are wrong however, if you can get those I'll give you the tick. (Hint the brothers share a bowl) $\endgroup$ Feb 5, 2016 at 14:49

$\begingroup$ Yeah I was really unsure about those two parts :) I'll give it a think-over. $\endgroup$ Feb 5, 2016 at 14:51

2$\begingroup$ @PiotrPytlik not sure how to to do a spoiler in comments but this link will take you to what I think is the brothers part. bit.ly/1ocCj8e $\endgroup$– KevinFeb 5, 2016 at 15:09

4$\begingroup$ Snap, Crackle, and Pop are the brothers for Rice Krispies. Programmers also use something called a Stack which involves pushing items on and POPping them off. $\endgroup$ Feb 5, 2016 at 15:32

3$\begingroup$ I'd thought the "programmers use me lots" was a reference to the stereotype of drinking a lot of soda (especially Mountain Dew or other highly caffeinated sodas). $\endgroup$– MattFeb 5, 2016 at 16:36

Perhaps this is a wild guess, but I think the answer is
Dot
An affiliation with dogs
Dot = Spot, a common name for dogs
My culture is like no other
It is regarded as good culture, proper to end sentences with a dot.
Programmers use me lots
Dots are commonly used in many programming languages.
Sometimes I am with my two brothers
Probably dot-dot-dot ... or colon and semicolon ; :

$\begingroup$ Great guess, unfortunately not the intended answer, here's a hint, the dogs aren't real! $\endgroup$ Feb 5, 2016 at 13:36

Is the answer
Ducks
An affiliation with dogs
Donald Duck is affiliated with Goofy, Pluto, etc.
My culture is like no other
As a cartoon character, they have a very interesting culture indeed
Programmers use me lots
Rubber duck debugging
Sometimes I am with my two brothers
Refers to the Disney Brothers (Walt and Roy)
-
$\begingroup$ Wrong unfortunately, another good guess! some matches are a little far fetched (are there three warner brothers? I have no clue) $\endgroup$ Feb 5, 2016 at 13:44
-
$\begingroup$ @AlfieGoodacre - I thought this was areference to the Animaniacs, not the actual Warners. Although that matches user18967's answer better, since this one is talking about Disney characters, not WB, and Dot does have 2 brothers... $\endgroup$ Feb 5, 2016 at 14:39
-
$\begingroup$ @DarrelHoffman Oops, I meant the Disney Brothers (as in Walt and Roy); Warner was a slip (I was probably thinking of Daffy)... thanks for pointing that out $\endgroup$– WillFeb 5, 2016 at 14:45

$\begingroup$ Though not the OP's intended answer, I think Mouse (as in Mickey Mouse) would fit this explanation even better. $\endgroup$– Gordon KFeb 5, 2016 at 14:52

The answer is
Counter
An affiliation with dogs
Counter surfing is when a dog steals food from the counter
My culture is like no other
Counter culture is a culture that is very different from mainstream society
Programmers use me lots
To keep track of iterations
Sometimes I am with my two brothers
Posibly variable declaration and termination condition in C-style loops?
-
$\begingroup$ Unfortunately not, the question has already been answered though one or two of the clues are not correct, feel free to help with that one! Great job thinking of counter culture by the way! $\endgroup$ Feb 5, 2016 at 16:16

For the last line: ?
In the alphabet, O's brother would be P.
