Except for cars, because i'm german. ^^
Does American culture itself have a heavy influence from European cultures? Definitely, because it's a still young culture that derived from multiple european ones.
It's not like Murica=world but like having the american pop culture overall dominating. And that means, that you can find movies, tv-shows etc. from there pretty much everywhere, but you will find much less from the most european countries altogether somewhere outside their homecountry.
Partially that might only be a language barrier. |
You would not beleive the amount of shows from foregin countries that people take for granted as American. The Amazing World of Gumball is british made, Total Drama, Ruby Gloom, Calliou is Canadian, Totally Spies is from France, etc. There's tonnes more shows from other countries than you probably think.

Actually only know Callou and Totally Spies and at least i know where they are from. My daughter watched Caillou when she was in Kindergarten and Totally Spies sometimes know. And there's loads of other stuff over here from France, UK etc., it's just that the single biggest part is from US. As well as in other shows like CSI, Castle, Fringe and i don't know what.
Either way, somehow this has moved far away from what i wanted to point out.

Well in the US most shows on tv will be from the US, this is pretty obvious.

Thing is, i'm german, So i meant the foreign stuff. Sure, we got the german stuff, we also got european stuff, especially british by the way, and pretty much american stuff. Thing is, the US is exporting entertainment to almost everywhere. And that is where probably 99% of the world get their big picture about Murica.
The most not so big even if grande european nations, especially us, just don't. Or at least not at all on such a scale. Most successful are probably Britain and then maybe Ireland.
And i really think that this takes a major role today in how someone sees a country.
