  Lol. British and American popular culture make up like 95% of Western popular culture.
context: I like the sense of humor and stoicism >
  
  I never got that. British humor is just the same as everywhere else. It's a weird idea that brits like to take pride in for some reason but I've never seen anything outstanding in it. >
  
  The British have a way of finding humor, and even the worst of situation. In fact, from what I’ve witnessed, the worst things got the funnier they got. >
  
  Is that unique for britain? >
  
  All of those things change depending on where in Britain you are. The people in Brighton aren't the same as the people in Wrexham. 
  This is all so broad it's meaningless. No country's culture is can be reduced down to one sentence because culture is incredibly complex and nuanced. 
  The arts is one of Britain's biggest cultural exports, theatre, tv, film, music, comedy, literature all comes out of Britain and is enjoyed globally. 
  Britain has a thriving food scene, with the 7th most Michelin stars in the world. Which is pretty incredible relative to size. Britain has 200, and the US (was a typo of UK) has 239, despite having a much much bigger population and number of restaurants. 
  As for the people lacking individuality that just sounds petty. Do you actually talk to people? 
  Honestly this just sounds like you are unhappy. Or you live in a shit part of Britain. But there are shit parts of every country and they aren't representative of the country as a whole.
  The grass is always greener. Countries look better when you are looking in or when you are there on holiday. >
  
  Did you mean the US and not UK? As Britain and the UK are the same >
  
  What >
  
  Read his point, he says Britain has 200 Michelin star restaurants and the UK has 239. That is comparing the same thing against itself so I think he meant USA not UK >
  
  They may mean the USA like you say, or they might just mean Northern Ireland adds to the 200 from Britain >
  
  Could go either way, honestly. But this thread is discussing the UK, so it would be weird to isolate just Britain and compare that against the UK. >
  
  He meant the US y'all >

  I can't be arsed doing film and TV, art, or videogames right now, but in terms of the above British culture has been pretty demonstrably adored by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. >
  
  Don’t forget Eric Clapton! >
  
  Isn’t he a proud and vocal racist who became famous for playing the blues and a Bob Marley song? >
  
  If everyone else is the problem then the true problem is you >
  
  I mean I’m not saying I hate the people, I just dislike what’s popular, nothing is necessarily a problem, I just personally dislike it >
  
  You cant just hate a whole culture lmao >
  
  He’s a teenager, he’s going to hate everything >
  
  I’m a teenager, I don’t hate everything. Only 90% of everything >
  
  OP sounding salty. Did a Brit break your heart? >
  
  Upvote for the unpopularity of the opinion.
  Someone else has already said something about how different each part of the country is (apologies I forgot your username) so to distill a "British culture" from the length and breadth of the Isles is an impossible task.
  To me, british identity is every one of these local identities. Be proud of where you are from and all the little quirks and foibles that make your part of Britain unique.
  Oh, and you should probably speak to some Welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish people before using the blanket term "British". >
  
  i guess hes probably refering to england but even then which part >
  
  The 20 pubs situated on the 3 blocks immediately adjacent to the earls Court hostel he stayed in in London. >
  
  the architecture is amazing. where the fuck are you living?? >
  
  I don't think there's a place with uglier architecture than london in europe except for some ex communist places. Scottish countryside is pretty but so is italy, switzerland, norway and so on. >
  
  Eh, as an American, I disagree. They've got some really cool architecture, even in the non-touristy parts. I'm most familiar with the architecture in Manchester. I've drawn a few for an architecture class and they were a lot more interesting than anything I've seen here in the US. 
  The clothes don't seem much different. I'd argue some of their stuff is a little more "mature" and classy than typical American clothing (at least for my age). 
  The way they interact with each other is kinda fascinating. They're complete dicks and it's just kind of normal for them. Maybe that's just mancs, though. They're overall a lot less conservative when it comes to sex, drugs, and being naked compared to Americans in my experience. I think that's cool. 
  Many of the haircuts are shit, but I feel like most of the examples I can think of are older styles like the Beatles. The Peaky Blinders cut is very British-looking, but doesn't look terrible to me. I can't really think of other examples. 
  Overall, I find it hard to agree with you when I find it so much more fascinating than US culture.
  Edit: I realize I'm speaking about mainly English culture >
  
  I'm a Brit who moved to the US, I find your comment very hard to relate to in a lot of ways. Have you ever actually been to the UK or is this based on TV, internet, stereotypes and stuff like that? >
  
  Never been, but based on people I know. >
  
  I suspect if you ever were to spend a significant amount of time there your views would change. And not even that they're going to be negative just that the UK you describe isn't really the real UK.
