Does America have a culture?

Yes. It's a culture of jazz, baseball, Hollywood, and freedom. God bless.

>Hollywood
>diners
>fried okra, cornbread, turducken, buffalo wings, etc
>blue jeans
>College fraternities and sororities
>Thanksgiving, modern Halloween

Baseball being unique to America is a good example of it being a culturally-distinct nation, you braindead oik

>>17946204
Yes, and?
>>17946222
Hard to call jazz "African"
>but le nigs are SSA!
Yes, most black Americans are descended from SSA slaves. However, after 300 years of living in a completely different society and structure, blacks are just as African as American whites are European - in genetics only. Would it be fair to call something created by American whites a European creation?

No

Notice how all of these things are soulless bug commodities that don't have anything to do with each other. It could all exist in Nigeria had they been the #1 capitalist drifter state, but Nigerians wouldn't pretend it's their culture because they actually have one.
You forgot pornography. That's a big part of amerimutt in- the-closet voyeuristic culture. I'd say it's a characteristic part of American culture since they have interracial porn fetishes and plaster it everywhere.

great thread OP.

>what if I ignored all the interesting parts of one country's history and then exaggerate another's
Woow

Whenever people make these threads they seem to think that 'culture' just means like opera or classical music or some shit.
Culture just means the way a society is different from other societies. It can be as simple as language, values, beliefs about society, preferred choice of entertainment etc. Everywhere has a culture, it is impossible to not have one.

But does America have a 'high culture'? Yes.
America has its own food culture beyond fast food, a theater culture, the most influential music culture ever to exist.

>>17946524
This anon gets it better.

"High" culture of America is the shit being pushed top down from the ruling class. It's the hegemonic bullshit, consumerist, and homogeneous, it has no spirit and is manufactured by businessmen and politicians.

"Low" culture of America is the spontaneous and bottom up developments. Appalachia is an example I like to point to for how "low" American culture develops naturally. Bluegrass, barn-quilts, the working class food of the South.

Low American is infinitely better, as it's a collaborative effort of all the working people building shared pillars of culture (If it wasn't for black people the food I grew up eating would be fucking disgusting bland boiled greens, and the music I listened to and sang would be without a core instrument to the genre).

Plantation LARP in the South is bland, boring, and manufactured by the same people making "High" culture. Let me play my banjo in the Kentucky wilderness with my fellow man.

>>17946541
These displays of shallow identity are the result of the deliberate destruction of the American people's identity. Republicanism, Pan-Europeanism, the frontier spirit, and liberty are the true founding pillars of American culture, and set us as a unique and forward-looking class of people. Now most of the deep-rooted culture in America is regional. The wild west, Appalachian bluegrass, WASP north easterners, Midwestern weirdos, southern good-old-boys. But to embrace American culture is to exclude, and we are told we cannot exclude anyone from America. We must reclaim our birthright.

american culture (or just anglo culture in general, including Canada, Australia, and Britain) as permeated and influenced so much globally to the point it's seen as the default or generic

I guess that many in this thread are saying that many things from the USA are copied from other countries but that happens with most traditions or culture things. Most of the time the come from another place or are inspired by them.

>>17946153 (OP)
Considering the entire world watches our movies, copies our fashion, listens to our music, follows our politics, speaks our language and uses our currency internationally, we not only have culture but are the culture the entire world hinges it's entire existence on. All non Americans are just coping.

>>17946153 (OP)
USA has it own culture, hell the first thing I think when I hear America is cowboys. So all USA mutts should stop going my great grandma wuz a mick so I is a mick, you are an American embrace your own culture and shut the fuck up.

No. For better (it makes them not as snobby as navel gazing old worlders can be) and worse.
The trade off is that Americans (used to at least) have a scientific edge. But it was still Europe that sort of fostered that too.

>>17947510
You have been used as a vector to corrupt the world with both christian mental illness and liberal mental illness. That you "won" does not make you infallible and justified in everything you. And about half of the things you claim as your own you stole/plagiarized anyway. Your hegemony is not honorable. Your geography helped you "win" more than anything else. You have Canada, Mexico and two oceans surrounding you. And you only exist because old worlders dumped you there. You only exist because of us. We gave you the means. And you took it all and then stabbed us in the front with two world wars (you engineered them and played us all off against each other and you know you did). You have no honor. You have no shame. I would rather lose than "win" what you "won". And your time is already ending. And the time you had was a despicable time and a waste. What did you provide? Aviation? The internet? Even those are debatable. Like most other things you lay claim to as your exclusive achievements.

Absolutely. It is a loud, commercialized, and often contradictory culture, heavily exported through movies, music, and fast food. It is a melting pot of borrowed traditions, constantly being redefined by its diversity and its obsession with individualism and consumerism.

>>17947510
American here but I don’t view it as a good thing that the entire world is now shoveling in fast food slop while they twerk and change their pronouns and watch Fast Car Superhero Blowup 14 on their phones.

>Does America have a culture?
To be honest, I'm not too sure what is meant by this question. By the formal definition of culture, every society has a culture. But clearly this question asks something else other than that. What exactly do we mean by "culture?"

>>17948061
What do you mean exactly?

>>17946153 (OP)
ask native americans

>>17946153 (OP)
Consumerism. This is American culture. Everything about their norms come out of a marketing strategy meeting.
Mythology (Capeshit, Franchise© Movies under IP), Food (Corpo optimized goyslop), Music (Pop slop produced by 100 people), Religion (motivational speaker mega church, book on sale of course), Holidays (tied around to-buy artefacts, muh turkey, muh Christmas tree, point is one must buy something), Politics (brand power political parties, even the Presidential candidates are selected based on TV optics - tall, full hair), Courting (pornography, dating apps), Sports (simpler (optimized) versions of Old World formats). I don't need to go on into stuff like how they stockpile pills to address any semblance of discomfort. Oh I broke up with gf/bf? Must take heartbreak pill with Adderall.

>>17948357
Japan took somethings from America after ww2.

>>17948043
Cowboy culture appeared in America, not Europe.

Why do so many of you assholes seem to think culture is whatever pretentious upper middle class dweebs online find classy or cool is?

Culture encompasses EVERYTHING about a people. Body language, assumptions, family dynamics, taboos, artwork, holidays, cuisine, values, courtship rituals, clothing, rites of passage, ideas of fairness, degree of collectivism vs individualism, hierarchy vs egalitarianism, formality vs informality, child rearing, decision making, beauty standards, concepts of cleanliness, boundaries, courtesy and etiquette, bluntness vs tact, code switching, social class or lack thereof, competitiveness vs cooperation, what is worth killing for, what is worth dying for, games, humor, grieving, language and dialects and accents, etc.

And the rigid lines you draw between cultures and subcultures is insane. You can’t touch someone without being touched.

>"Low" culture of America is the spontaneous and bottom up developments. Appalachia is an example I like to point to for how "low" American culture develops naturally. Bluegrass, barn-quilts, the working class food of the South ... Low American is infinitely better
I volunteer sometimes at a non-profit arts center in a pretty conservative town (basically a "large town") and it's an interesting cross-section of this stuff. Helped organize the town's annual arts festival this year. Quilting is big with older women. It's also a former school so there's a gym which is used as an events rental space, and various things happen there including shows from the regional amateur wrestling league. I don't have any interest in wrestling but it's interesting to watch like you're a sociologist or something.

>>17948365
>It is a loud, commercialized, and often contradictory culture, heavily exported through movies, music, and fast food.
I'd say another big thing in American culture is "pulp" culture which interacts with it. This is related to the country's culture being strongly influenced by commerical capitalism. People call it Marvel slop and I don't have any interest in those movies either, but I like Robert E. Howard and modern sci-fi pulp.

Another interesting thing is that pretty aggressive and confrontational art can get made in commercial forms. There was a lot of this in the 1990s in which pop art could become very introspective towards American society, which I think owed to particular conditions of the time, the emerging post-Cold War era when there was no longer something to define American culture against:

Joan Rivers had a joke that Vegas was better when the mob ran it because they kept the slobs out of the casinos and they knew how to treat a lady.

Rather, being some sort of ethnic gangster that steals money from somebody is American culture. The street level dysgenic sociopaths have a lot in common with the top tier financial magicians and politicians fucking the country.

Superficially us culture is corruption, human trafficking, dysgenic brown worship, radical religious factionalism and a whole lot of racism.

None of these dysgenic traits have anything to do with settler culture and that's because the US hates white people especially its own

It becomes even funnier, that you realise that the "russian" culture of the 18th-19th century has very little connection to russian people as well.
90% of it consists from either foreign artists that were paid by the monarchy, or some rich landlord, who has no idea of russian tradition and may not even speak the language.
Instead, russian tradition and people are portrayed through the lens of wealthy aristocracy or foreigners, who lived in "First russia" - st.petersburg and moscow - cities, that up till today receive preferencial treatment and are absolutely separated from the doom and gloom of the rest of the country. Basically, it's like little "islands of enlightenment" in a sea of illitirate peasants.Very poetic, until you remember that these peasants are slave that actually fuel these cities by their own blood, yeah.
