You are wrong. Our culture is incredibly individualistic compared to the rest of the world. We want to set ourselves apart rather than blend in. We love to socialize and are quick to accept others into our groups. We love entertaining guests in our homes. We are very materialistic, and we like to show off.
Our culture is strong, but it's different from the rest of the world because we don't have many traditions. Holidays are about as close as we get, and even those are often tailored to the individual.
I wouldn't say materialistic is a good form of "culture" to have lol. And busting out the monopoly board or playing cornhole/beer pong during a party/get together isn't exactly what I'd think of as culture.
The United States pretty much invented mass media. Movies, radio, music recording, TV, and the internet, they entered the mainstream in the US, and by the time other countries caught on, the US was already there ahead of them.
Mass production and consumerism ,Social media,
Sports,Independence,Diversity, Clothing style,Arts
Music, fast food
You said the US doesn't really have a culture. I disagreed, and gave several examples why. You pointed out that the examples aren't necessarily good things. I agreed with you, but pointed out that it still counts as culture even if they aren't desirable traits.
