Is American culture stupid?

Just twerking all day while taking narcissistic selfies while saying YOLO and acting all swagg. The American culture is just based on swagg and pop culture and America does not have a culture anymore. You have lame celebrity's like Miley Cyrus and Kim kardashian and many more. Do teenage Americans not have anything else better to do. Are you not worried about what's going on in the world or politics. If teenage Americans had to choose Justin Bieber or freedom they would choose justin Bieber because teenage Americans DONT CARE and that's why the Russians and Vladimir Putin are just laughing at you. So that's my rant for the day and does anyone else feel like this.

Clearly, your experience with American culture has been limited to a very narrow and twisted view of America. NONE of what you mentioned qualifies as real 'American culture.' Try visiting here and going beyond what you see in Hollywood or Times Square.

That's not the true-culture, that's hypes, and entertainment, they're part of the culture, but there's a huge foundation beneath that carries a lot more weight.

There's plenty of young teenagers doing serious, and good work, building a life for themselves.

No. Come on now. You're talking about a certain age group that makes up what percent of the population? Most people in my state, in the U.S. overall, are pretty well informed, whether or not they agree with my politics.

Definitely on a fast decline. I hope I don't live long enough to see the denouement.

It's only true if your sole source of information is Yahoo.
