13/I don't know if the end of subculture and foreign-ness is bad or good. But I sure will miss having my mind blown every other day. (end)

at least for a little while the internet will continue to spawn subcultures too, but yeah they're discovered as soon as they become a thing.

We harvest too quickly. Maybe the freakout over cultural appropriation is partly about that?

eh. Most of the cultural appropriation talk I see is about old historical parts of culture. But I see where you're coming from.

Yeah, but I just mean, wanting to preserve a special space. Something that can't be harvested by the Giant Culture-Eating Amoeba.

I think many ppl mistake global/modern/homogenized culture for white culture...an old Japanese prof told me "Japan is becoming Americanized"

But I said to him "Nah, America was just the first to be eaten by the Amoeba." And same with white culture, I think.

Ever listened to "American Pie"? It's all about white American culture being devoured by a new, modernized, commercial culture.
