- prmoustache 1y agoI think it still pales compared to its neighbours like Mexico who have also been born through colonization. But maybe that's because USA has a tendency to make everything a super commercial event which gives us that idea.
- bluGill 1y agoThat is part of our culture heritage. People who want to claim the US doesn't have a rich culture are defining culture to exclude all culture in the US which is not fair. It isn't hard to see a lot of culture in the US if you look, but many people want to think there isn't any and so go out of their way not to see it.
- prmoustache 1y agoI think culture and tradition are different things. Modern pop culture is not tradition for example.
- kjkjadksj 1y agoAre movies pop culture? People have been taking their family to the movies for like 4 generations now in this country.
- bluGill 1y agoEither way, claiming there is less in some other part of the world where families live is just a way to making yourself feel good by tearing someone down. Traditions and culture are different, but that doesn't mean they don't exist or are lesser someplace else.
- kjkjadksj 1y agoIts because mexico is a catholic nation and most things they do are related to that or a synecretic sort of thing with the ancient indigenous religions. If you want to see something similar in the US go to a Little Italy during the feast of the assumption. That is also a catholic event syncretic with old roman religion concepts.
