Who do you socialise with in Europe?! I’m a dual national and regularly spend time in 3 European cities and 8+ US cities. To be honest, it’s the US that’s devoid of culture and European culture is very much there and deep rooted.

The way the US generally does housing and land use planning leads to a lot of vanishing of culture, specially in urban areas.

The same 8 lane stroads with the same super box stores and fast food chains. All connected with the same type of highway to a bunch of single family homes with little low level commercial or cultural activity.

US has a distinct culture, its just not a one to one mapping of what “culture” even is, to Europe, or most places.
