I think the most genuine mode of American culture (even for normies) is a shared alienation from an imaginary American culture

I don’t think this is true. Basic moaning about zeitgeist is not alienation. It’s actually interestingly clear to foreigners/immigrants because any native interacting with us either goes unironic “real” American or displays true alienation by not treating us any differently.

Interesting. You’re saying regular unalienated Americans switch into an extra sincere unironic style when they feel they’re interacting with a foreigners/immigrants?

Not extra sincere, just an unconscious American-meets-world mode most aren’t even aware they have. Fish in water.
