I guess if Taco Hell, JLo and rap are "culture",
then we've got it in spades!

I don't consider that mass of "stuff" a culture.
Not yet anyway. Right now, it's kind of cultural
raw material that may, along with the goodies
it's picked up along the way; become an actual
culture. There's also too much turn-over: two
years from now, no one will even know who or what
a "jaylow" is. Stability is required in the mix
in order for it to set.
