What this thread is about *is* culture, and the USA does not have the culture this way, and apparently Japan and Singapore do. Culture being the unchallenged basic assumptions of how people behave and how society works. It has nothing to do with whether culture changed or not, only how it is now.


There wasn’t much graffiti or vandalism before the 70s. I mean yeah, there was _some_ but not like it exploded from the ‘70s onwards.

There were many things at play, deindustrialization began, immigration changed, youth and media depictions changed.

Before that There was Kilroy and other banal stuff, some tramp stuff, etc.
