If the United States has no culture, then Canada, Mexico, Latin America, the Carribean, the Phillipines, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand have no culture either.

>>6146906 Canada, Australia and New Zealand have no culture. America has a culture, but it's so widely spread and absorbed/copied that it seems as if it has no culture (especially the three countries named above have absorbed American culture, save for French Canada).

>>6147137 Quebecois aren't just Anglo-Canadians that speak French. If what I've heard is correct, you can notice very large cultural differences bewteen French Canada and the rest of Canada.

The 'US has no culture' thing is just trolling we use to make Amerifags butthurt. America has some glorious history and culture in reality.

>>6147160 As you can between almost any different regions, regardless of political boundaries, that's why this is silly, North American (and European) cultural groups/areas don't have much to do with borders.

America, besides the highly native and brown countries like mexico, bolivia and paraguay there's no real "culture" in the continent, don't be mad, a local culture is overrated in a modern global community you helped to built

>>6147206 Oh really? Then what's the cultural difference between, say, Newfoundland and BC?

29 min later 6147257 Anonymous
>>6147222 Accent and slang, typical careers, even architecture. BC probably has more in common with Washington (neighbouring US state) than NFLD, which was my point.

>>6147196 Brazil is a mosaic of cultures, the br guys who is always talking about "the superior culture of south" is in fact a copy in second or third hand from part of europe culture with just 100, 150 years, while on northeast and southeast our culture have 400 years, and even with all this years we´re very small comparing with places like Greece, India or China is very very very relative

>>6149589 What is it that dominates about your culture? Your movies don't represent any aspect of your culture. Your songs are pop shit that's why now pop from other countries is catching up: because it's easy to make pop, it doesn't take any culture, just bright lights and pretty people. The only thing that people value from your country that is actualy cultural are the hamburguers and even those we have to change to match our tastes. No other cuisine gets changed from one country to another the way your cuisine does. Why? Because it also sucks. And, like every other american, you pretty much have you head up your ass if you believe that your culture dominates.

The only thing I value from american culture is JAZZ, o yeah, btw this genre is most like global, isn't something unique as tango makes you think in Argentina, tarantellas in Italy, etc. Most of the thing you're proud of, are indeed shit.

Some places do. That's for sure. The south, New England, certain places like New York city. But the flyover states and the West is too new to have a culture. I mean, New England has it's own ways of speech, words, architecture, history, food, dance, music, and pretty much everything else that constitutes culture. People always say the Anglosphere doesn't have culture or at least a seperate one, but we really do. It's just that we all speak English. And for the record, mainstream American culture is the overall American culture. It's what happens when real culture is taken over by commercial interests. America is dying, that's no surprise. The problem is, more or less, our culture, which was built by people moving West to consume the resources. If you look at New England, we're FAR more economical about things because we ran out of resources long ago.

America's culture is so ingrained into the minds of non-Americans through movies, television, music, etc. they don't even recognize its existence.

Just look at your own country and then at another country. The differences you see are cultural.

How does the US not have a culture. We are the leaders in all cultural things. Are music, films, television, video games, and every other cultural thing is copied by every single culture. Most Dutch can probably name more American celebrates than Dutch historical figures. We are the cultural forerunners of the masses. It ain't pretty, but it's the truth.
