I think it's an unfair question, because the US is a very diverse country, in music as well , there are many types of culture and music in the USA, very varied styles
The US has Latin American and African American culture as well. I notice how people outside the US tend to think the US is just white American culture an that’s far from reality. More than half of the US is also European just an interesting fact.
@@mustachinhogrosso3535 that’s good for you , but most people outside the US especially those in Europe think the US is just valley girl accents and people from Texas riding horses which is false.
@@mustachinhogrosso3535 Tell anybody outside the US to describe what they think of a typical American an everything they say will be related to white American culture FACTS.
The English girl saying that they have better music and she mentions rock. Where did rock originate from? Rock, jazz and the blues originated from the US, from African Americans.
@@cpj93070 It is NOT African. You go back to Africa and you would never hear that type of music. It was invented in the US by AMERICANS. Why do people think that Americans are only white and if you are not white you are African not American? It’s blatantly racist. You don’t have to be white to be American. Let me guess European?
@@cpj93070 what do you mean it’s African more than the USA? It’s still American because black Americans are an unique American ethnic group that can trace their lineage in America 11 or more generations. America is an immigrant nation so everyone has contributed to forming its culture since it’s “founding”. Would you say samba is more African than Brazilian even though Afro Brazilians ( Afro Brazilians have been in Brazil just as long as Afro Americans have been in America) made it? It makes no sense and lacks so much logic and it seems like hating. British copied everything the USA does including our rock and jazz.
@@capeverdeanprincess4444 Don't you dare say about us Brits copying everything, your whole nation is based on copying, how many things you copied off my country?
Rock originated in the UK. The Rolling Stones are considered the first rock band and "I can't get no satisfaction" is considered the first rock song in music history. The US had Rock'n'Roll, but that's not Rock. Rock'n'Roll uses a different beat, influenced by blues music Rock music instead uses a typical European beat. The Stones and the Kinks brought Rock music to the US, where it was immediately copied by other artists. Something I really find annoying about the US is,that they tend to believe they invented everything. Like so many people in the US think the car was invented in the US.
I hate the Brits yet I must say that without those guys there would be no iconic characters like these So doesn't matter if is an American film or not without those actors it would have been....😂😂
@@KarmaKraftttt hate is a pretty strong word lol how can you get a whole group of people who most likely haven’t done anything to you or don’t even know you pal
What is “better” is subjective but American music is a lot more diverse than Lauren realizes. We listen to Blues, R&B, Jazz, Country, Broadway, Bluegrass and much more. Actually a lot of genres including rock originated in the USA with black people. IDK why she is claiming rock as being British? American culture is heavily African influenced not just European influenced. I actually thought this was common knowledge. This whole discussion sounds super Anglo-centric. Breaking news: A lot of us Americans are not white. Adele and a lot of UK singers purposely sing in American accent I think to widen their appeal. The thing about Beyonce is that while she has party music, she also makes music with social commentary which to my knowledge Adele doesn’t. For example she has a song called Brown Skin Girl that uplifts women across the world with darker skin. That song strikes more of a chord with me than Rolling In the Deep although I like Adele. My whole life I’ve loved Bee Gees, George Michael, Phil Collins, Elton John, Rolling Stones, Craig David. I saw Ed in concert. It’s actually the female UK artists I tend to not be as into but I like Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, Sade, Natasha Whatherface, Dua Lipa. I have noticed some UK artists like Ella Mai actually use a lot of US slang in their lyrics.
The punk movement is pretty distinctly British and still holds an edge in the art/fashion/music coming out of there (eg Alexander McQueen with fashion, etc) and music is a big part of that scene- and then also on other rock spectrum is the Beatles and Rolling Stones as well as Pink Floyd- many countries around the world outside of US grew up with British rock more than American, so I’d agree that they have that edge and influence there. That’s for boomers. Milenialls and Gen Z shifted American internationally (probably because R&B is phenomenally influential). Absolutely there is so much incredible music from the US- jazz, blues, hip hop, r&b, bluegrass… and many of those elements (particularly blues for rock and r&b for pop) holds an influence in UK as well since people borrow elements. There are also lots of American musicians borrowing from British (influenced from Pink Floyd etc) One thing I have noticed that’s different for sure in movies is the humor is different, but that’s so subjective. And for cinematography/filming In the UK there is less obsession on “perfection” which I prefer, for example people don’t always look perfectly styled down to the last detail, interiors don’t look like a set, etc, seems more relaxed and authentic compared to US shows & films.
@@w00tz4ibanez Yes, but rock and jazz originated in America. Black Americans are responsible for forming every American musical genre including country, rock, and jazz.
@@capeverdeanprincess4444 yeah I wasn’t trying to say that as a genre rock started in the Uk, but the specific sounds and sub genres coming out of there became very popular internationally
@@w00tz4ibanez I’m a musician myself and I think we are all interconnected. I think it’s great to have creative collaboration. i was in New Orleans went to see a group of Peruvian Jazz musicians play a concert. Beautiful how music connects people. But I think claiming something as your culture is another layer. Example, I love reggae. I listen to reggae. But I wouldn’t call it part of “my culture” . Lauren’s comments like oh you have hip hop and country. British rock music is a by product of American rock music.meanwhile there is a lot that we have absorbed from the UK. But I feel like some UK people like to think we are a UK part 2 when it’s not that simple. The percentage of non Europeans living in the UK is greatly different from the percentage in the US. Maybe the discussion should be what product we think is better rather than what culture but that is subjective. If people are touchy it’s because for a long time music and other things associated with black Americans were looked down upon. Then they put a white person like Elvis who would go hang out in juke joints with black people to sing the same music and it’s not only acceptable but then before long the story of Rock and Roll ceases to have black people in it. Minorities in the USA and their contributions are often overlooked.
@@w00tz4ibanez I am also a videographer. I do like great and creative cinematography in a film but I also need great stories, developed complex characters. For awhile Hollywood just seemed like they wanted to blow things up and make the plot secondary. So I won’t act like I love everything we put out. But I do get to sometimes see my own culture black rural Southern reflected in our films so that’s a bias for me. As a child I watched Helena Bonham Carter movies. I like the period pieces like Downton Abbey but a lot of the more modern stuff I can’t get into. Here in the USA they would show Ms Marple and Inspector Poiroit. Now I loved some Benny Hill as a kid. Lol I can see more now with Netflix but I actually like shows from Spain more than England. I did watch Top Boy and there is an old show called Desmond’s I think that was really funny. It was also a chance for me to see people in your country other than the European majority. I prefer UK novels to UK cinema. but please give me some suggestions
Respectfully i don't know why this video was made. The old "Americans are ignorant" stereotype is back firing. I love Lauren SO MUCH but rock and all that did not start in the UK it was made by people in the US, let alone made from BLACK PEOPLE. Also other people of color. Not to mention having two white people talk about culture esp for the US is kinda weird. Shannon held it down for the US but even she knows and showed with that eye roll that this was a far fetched video. America has about 4-5 TIMES the amount of people in the UK. Not to mention 87% of ppl in the UK are White... compared to Americans dramatic diversity of all races and different cultures. You'll see a whole lot of Indians or middle easterns in the USA way faster than in the UK. (not personally to Lauren, much love) But the fact that Lauren thinks some of these started in the UK is an unfortunate representation of how black and other minorities have been stolen from. Much respect to UK culture and its diversity... but the US is WAY TOO BIG and DIVERSE by miles compared to the UK to compare "american culture." No harm was intended as we all love thus channel, but this was not it.
@Tyree k. Unless I'm missing something I think your wrong. White English bands like The Beatles for example are not that same kind of sounds that was coming out of black Americans Rock & Roll music like Little Richard. Rock & Roll isn't the same as Rock music, it's dance music. If guitar isn't the prominent instrument it isn't rock music. A lot of Rock & Roll is piano and saxophones. Rock came out of Rockabilly & Pop Rock. Rockabilly & Pop Rock came out of Rock & Roll and County. Rock & Roll came out of Boogie Woogie & Blues. Country came out of white American folk culture. There was a combination and progression of white European instruments & culture combined with black Americans culture. These sounds didn't spring up from Europe or Africa. No other races really influenced American culture in those beginnings since there were hardly any other races here at that time besides American whites and blacks. There is no stealing of culture from blacks or other minorities. The misconception is the definition of what Rock music is. If this was about Ragtime, Blues, Rock (& Roll), R&B, Boogie Woogie, Doo-Wop, Funk, Hip Hop and they said the U.K. invented that then you would be right.
@@KyleReeseCel2029 didn’t the Beatles say themselves that a major influence was American blues and rock amongst things like Indian music, etc…. Also country music is far more intertwined with aa culture even back since the late 1800s than you give it credit for.
@@sqwerty3422 you don’t know anything about America. Nor music. Black people have made a lot of the popular music genres you hear today. Talk about Indie music all you want… but look we’re the real roots are from. Not the popular ones. You can talk shit about white Americans all you want… but your comment to me spoke so much ignorance. You can talk about UKs white diversity… that still doesn’t change the fact America also has “white diversity.” Even so… my comment was clearly about POC and minorities. Which UK is no we’re close compared to US. I don’t want to hear anything about the UK having “more diversity” when 1. I know it’s not true. Even logically. 2. The US has over 6 times the amount of people in the UK… not to mention it’s roots to Mexico, THE UKS SPAVE TRADE, and immigration. I’m sorry but respect to you! But I don’t want to hear it.🖤🖤🖤
@JP sorry im saying it hurt my insides a little they left out alot of the musicians and bands that are very famous or popular that are American ones so I'm assuming forgetting the U.K ones hurt a little to they didn't even go over what I consider the best of the musicians either
"who has better culture" Is not a discussion I would like to have with someone. You can talk about culture, but trying to come to the conclusion of who is better in unessecsary.
I think American and Britain have very good cultures Doesn't matter which one's better every country has very good culture Some British words are similar To the American stuff
That's an unfair comparison... y'all know what the answer is lol ... British people do our (Black American) music lol...the Beatles..yeah they were inspired by the creators of rock n roll and blues, who were created by black Americans. Matter of fact, everything cool about American culture is Black Americans creation
This is really chicken and egg: African-Americans got rock Music from English folk music. Black Music from the 19th century, Built upon through the 20th-century, shows total influence from folk music, pre-19th-century amongst rednecks in UK, Which is an element of the culture that black culture transitioned from during slavery (UK rednecks), as black Africans unfortunately had, most of(but not all) their culture stolen from them
@@Rowlph8888 dude you’re very ignorant. Just hush. We get you’re british… African Americans got their music from Africa. Not the UK. We get you’re white. Stop speaking on black ppl. In all of your comments you’re acting like slavery wasn’t a thing… African Americans came from Africa BC OF THE UKS SLAVERY. UK ALSO STOLE THE USA FROM NATIVES. THEY ALSO STOLE ALL OF AFRICA. Plz stop spreading your ignorance in these comments just to up lift the UK. You know nothing about the US so please stop speaking on it.🖤
You should do one of these between the US and Europe - I mean, I know the UK is basically European, but I mean mainland Europe. I think that would be very interesting.
5:08 In addition to Harry Potter, we also have the James Bond series, the Ealing Comedies, the Carry On films, the Hammer Horrors, the work of Powell and Pressburger (The Red Shoes, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp), the Cornetto trilogy, etc. We also have multiple large homegrown film studios such as Pinewood Studios (which makes James Bond and which made the Carry Ons). Our film industry peaked from the 1950s to 1970s, and many of the films I just mentioned are from that period.
That's debatable - certainly They were a major influence., then you could say that Afro-American music comes from folk and classical in UK and Europe, Just like recently, its been proven that black American culture, comes from white rednecks, from the UK, transferred to black communities, who were robbed of their culture during the enslavement transition. English great music before 1800 Drawers a lot of parallels, with black music developing through the 19th and 20th centuries After all, everyThing came from somewhere, Unless we are talking about Adam and Eve here😀
That's wrong. Rock music was invented by the Rolling Stones. Maybe you mean Rock'n'Roll? That's another kind of music and was indeed invented by Afro-Americans.
@@helgaioannidis9365 rock n roll is the same thing. Can y’all please stop trying to discredit Afro people just to please yourself? The internet is free. Everytime someone gives credit to black ppl it’s always “well actually white ppl made it” no just no. Do your research!!
YOU GET IT. BOTH OF THEM STOLE FROM US lmaooo. They over here saying the beatles... the rolling stones... the blah and blah... THAT FROM OF MUSIC WAS MADE BY BLACK PEOPLE. ITs all AMERICAN lmfaooo
Why not compare writers? Maybe there was not enough time. I am surprised that jazz and blues from the US was not mentioned. Soul and funk was quite popular too. Perhaps, these are all small niches. Stereotypically, I associate US movies with popcorn and a large soda. Then, the UK with a cup of tea, indoors, and rainy weather. It just depends on your mood at that time.
Loved Shannon's eye roll in the beginning, lol. She is such a sweetheart though. Young but mature and classy. She communicates her thoughts without being offensive or rude. She's lovely. My respect and admiration for her just grew even more. I thought Lauren's competitiveness was quite cute, although I don't agree with some of the things she said, lol.
Shannon also provides a different view of the US with her being the most experienced with US southern culture out of the regulars hosts (or more regular).
@@KyleNordstrom Yes, thank you ! I was going to write the same thing ! Usually people spit on Southern US, and Shannon is proving to be one of the smartest and most graceful American on this channel.
EXACTLYYYYYY!!! None of these people have "culture" name dropping Beyonce literally takes everyone they mentioned. Bc shes like the only person who is actually reprsenting CULTURE. Shout out to Adele and Ed S but they need to stop.
Culture is far more than just music or other art forms. It's history and tradition too. In that there's no contest. In music I don't think you can separate two cultures that have inspired each other as much as the UK and US. Both have taken what the other has been doing and created something fresh and new from it.
this was a little hard to watch ngl lol things get a little heated when it's about which country is better than other but Shannon is very nice like she doesn't get mad or anything by some of these comments.
I think it was more in the editing than anything that either of them were trying to project. You have to remember at the end of the day, the purpose of these videos is to compare and contrast differences between different Western cultures. I don't think they ever intended on these videos being all inclusive or anything other than opinion.
UK rock/pop rock/heavy metal bands: _ Beatles _ Rolling Stoles _ Led Zeppelin _ Black Sabbath _ Iron Maiden _ Queen _ Radiohead _ Pink Floyd _ Oasis _ Clash _ Who _ Blur _ Sex Pistols _ Deep Purple _ Police _ Judas Priest _ Depeche Mode _ Muse _ Genesis _ Arctic Monkeys _ Bloc Party etc. etc. Of course, USA have amazing rock bands as well (Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, RHCP, Deftones, Jimi Hendrix etc.) but UK definitely wins this one! USA have many legends while UK has A MONTAIN of legends... 😉
For movies and televisions there is a MASSIVE gap. The UK have a plethora of skilled actors coming from theater productions with experience doing live shows and actual training. That is why the British actors are everywhere in American productions as well, on the whole they tend to be much more skilled. In the US they have the classic "dream of becoming an actor" where people from all over the country just move to LA and try to become an actor. Some make it (largely based on luck and/or looks, not to completely disregard talent), but on the whole it not exactly conducive to good performances. You see all the time these British actors get hired to play roles where they need to do challenging US dialects. They are simply on another level even if their movie industry is not at the same level as the one in the US.
@@DA-db9bi America has produced a lot of excellent actors, no doubt. There are also a metric shit ton of terrible ones that get roles in TV and movies, much more so than in the UK. I would say your "majority" statement is arguably accurate, but put in perspective the MASSIVE gulf in acting opportunities with the US being a much larger market and has been ever since movie and TV came to be. It is/would be impossible for them not to at least be up there, after all people like to hear and see stories that they can relate to. Think how many productions get made that are set in the US. I would say it is absolutely notable how many Brits are killing it in TV and in Hollywood.
@@DA-db9bi It's totally a matter of opinion as to what is great. also, quantity means nothing in this situation, as America as 4 times the population. in Polls of the 2 greatest actors of all time, Taken from all generations would undoubtedly be Lawrence Olivier and Daniel Day Lewis, both British. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro may rival Daniel, but Older generations even in the US, would say Olivier, but I guess most of passing away right now
@@johanfredriksvendsen8482 I agree with you 100% , but let’s be honest now a lot of Brit’s are very shit at trying to act in an American accent chris straham,Liam neeson, and Emma Watson to name a few have had me cringing since I was a kid. To be fair I don’t think Americans would do any better with a British accent.😭
@@ChumKrimson United States (I was wrong and called it America), has a lot more bands than England. But England learned from the United States and improved the genre. Bands like Queen, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Hollies, the Animals, the Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Oasis or Culture Club (to name a few), are better than many US bands.
Our music is by far the best because of our huuuge diversity....where a small few of UK artist kinda carry the torch the circle is real small compared to the US....movies, as well very few UK movies and shows have made it here ...Netflix has been a real driver in bringing international shows to the US n most have been real winner but thats still grasping straws compared to sticks.....sorry UK we got you beat
I guess it depends on how you define 'a small few UK artists'... There are and always have been loads of British musicians and bands that are massive in the US (and the rest of the world). And some of them were hugely influential like Bowie or the Beatles. If you look up the list of best selling music artists of all time on wikipedia, of all the artists who managed to sell over 250 million records, 3 are American and 5 are British. I'm from Germany and to me it is pretty damn impressive that such a (comparably) small country has been this influential in the music industry. Lower down on the list you can find more American ones but still a fair amount of British artists. And the British music industry is pretty diverse too, maybe some of the more interesting stuff just doesn't make it to the US? Don't get me wrong, I love loads of American musicians but considering that the US is much, much bigger, the British music industry is kinda more impressive for its size. And as for the British film industry... I think you'd be surprised. It's booming. It has recently seen much more growth than the American one. It's actually becoming a real competitor. And that is just looking at stats and predictions about things like studio space and box office. Back when I studied film, British films would on average get higher ratings in reviews than Hollywood films. Some would consider critical acclaim more important than box office or quantity. That was a few years ago though so I don't know if it's still accurate today.
you Americans always think that you got the world beat!. The Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Phil Collins, David Bowie, Elton John, Queen, Ed Sheeran, Black Sabbath, George Michael, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, The Who, Pink Floyd, to name but a few!. We match you Americans all the way for pop culture!!!...
You definitely haven’t seen Beyoncé perform then. Bc she actually puts on a different type of show. I haven’t seen Adele put on choreography back to back to back while hitting the same notes they both can do. At most Adele gets up from her chair and sing with fans. But great but having a intimate singing session with fans isn’t the same as an actual performance.🖤
I think you need people on here that know more about music historically and the various genres and the artists in those genres because this is sad. Also overall about the different topics across the board on here. Too basic. Rock is from the US, you wouldn’t have Drum and Bass without the Praise Break sample from African American churches, UK Drill is from Chicago Drill, Techno was created in Detroit, Jazz and all the different types like New Orleans and Coltrane’s freeform jazz is from the U.S. R&B, Big Band, Soul, hybrid music, Rap, Country, Bluegrass, Swing, Ragtime, are all American as well and even those can be broken down into sub genres, like let’s get some real information in these videos. Americans got way more music diversity than UK since UK’s modern music especially comes from the U.S. mostly anyways 😂 When all your favs and legends are fans and were inspired from our originators, we already know who won!
@@stormraven198 Original beats copy in my opinion. Plus she said listed off the types of music the UK had plus said they have more music genres, when we also have plus we created it, so what’s better than that?

No,it’s just difficult to understand for a person,who doesn’t live in such a multicultural country like the USA. It is our own culture because that’s how our country is,it’s a melting pot,a sampling of world’s cultures.))
@@GD24__ I agree, 57% of Americans are European or of European descent which makes the US the country with the most Europeans outside of Europe and if you look at a city like Miami it’s 70% latino🤷🏾♂️ it’s basically a Latin American city of people from all Latin America including Brazil. The US is also the country with most Asians outside of the Asian continent. The US is literally filled with culture, but people outside think it’s just white people in horses😂
"I feel like we have a huge variety of music" Okay, am now biased against her. There is more music selection in Texas than your entire country. People really need to realize how large the US is, and all the microcultures associated with land here. If this was Sid Meier's Civilization, the USA would have won a Culture victory already. The UK honestly can't compare.
I like USA so much for music is amazing better than England music because I am from Ireland England is annoying about brexit we are trying to help Northern Ireland but England keep saying no to Ireland
Lol. I ran out of breath even reading all of that. It makes no sense at all. No punctuation what so ever and its all just one lengthy sentence. No wonder why UK associate you with Americans now a days. 🤪🤣
All of UK music is rooted in American music, specifically African American music. If you ask the Beetles where their inspiration comes from, they would tell point you to the American south and the so called “race music” of the era. In a sense the UK was exposed to better American music than many Americans due to segregation and it’s impact.
The problem with the question is that both countries are multicultural and so have many cultures. What I think you mean is what is better out of Anglo Saxon British culture and Anglo Saxon American culture. I can't personally answer that question as I am English so I am going to be bias. They're fairly similar tbh and I prefer some American stuff
I think the United States and Great Britain have influenced each other for our benefit. We had rhythm and blues and early rock and roll such as Elvis, who influenced the Beatles. There are other great British bands in the late sixties and early 70s. The UK also gave the world the Rolling Stones, The Who, led Zeppelin deep purple and Black Sabbath. They gave the Sex Pistols and we gave the Ramones. We gave the world Disco. They gave us Iron Maiden Judas Priest and the rest of the new wave of British heavy metal in the late seventies and early eighties. And that inspired Metallica and similar bands. I haven't even scratched the surface of pop culture, pop music and fashion. We're incredibly grateful for Simon Pegg and Nick Frost by the way (just had to throw that in there). In all seriousness, I would never want to compare our cultures. England gave us the concept of the magna Carta and the Parliament, which influenced us. British philosopher John Locke heavily inspired our Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers. And thanks to Scotland, I have several kilts hanging in my wardrobe as well. Yeah no comparison necessary. I still love your videos though
I mean maybe in some areas but for the most esp in music is very different. You've mentioned like 10 percent of amercian culture. Like american rap (Hip hop) is different all over. We have West coast, East coast, southern, texas, DMV etc. All of those are influenced by African american culture that is vasly different. I didnt even mention Hispanic rap or their froms of music. Altho i agree that they may have influenced eachother but for the most part they really havent. Another example (how hip pop started) is Jazz music. Which again is another African american root but is now world wide and is losing its root acknowledgement. Ive only mentioned one culture but this can apply to the Mexican-Americans, the Asian Americans, and on and on.
@@tyreek.6815 I agree 100% And I only brainstormed my initial thoughts. That's why I had to conceid immediately that I only scratched the surface. I love rock and heavy metal and one must acknowledge that everything came from the blues. Early rock and roll was heavily influenced by African Americans as well. And that kind of led into my point listing all those late 60s early 70s British bands because they were also very influenced by American blues. And you're 100% correct about other outside influences and cultures influencing Western popular culture. I appreciate you adding on to my comments because it wasn't my intention too omit all of those influences.

Just so you know most of the american artist work with swedish songwritern and producera so the music its actually made here or there sometimes to but often the songs are written by swedish People but the amerikans singss lol
Depending on the genre, it’s the norm for the singer not to be the songwriter. I have friends who make a living writing songs for other people. I also write and record songs. It’s not uncommon for labels to have writers on staff. Also it’s not necessarily that writers are writing for a particular artist. They write the song, make a demo, then pitch it around trying to get what’s called a cut. But that’s very hard to do without connections. Probably the songwriters in your country have traveled to the USA and hustled to make connections in the industry

@@davehoward22 Look up Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Big Bill Broonzy, and Robert Johnson. They influenced Zeppelin, Rolling Stones ( who got their name from the American Rock magazine btw),as well as ACDC. Queens Freddie Mercury was influenced by Aretha Franklin. So yeah British music I'd pretty much American. Adeles Rolling in the Deep is straight out of the Mississippi delta. Gr8me was inspired by American Hip Hop, UK Jazz was brought over to Europe by the 369th infantry regiment aka the Harlem Hellcats. Outside of dubstep Folk and the other electronic music Brits like all other music genres came out of the US, country is also growing in popularity among younger Brits.
90% of the most popular "American" music is actually Swedish written/produced or have very much tried to emulate that. I would say very rarely does the US music scene influence the UK one except for the tennis game of rock/metal music taking a lot of influence from the African American music genres and going back and forth, as well as I guess rap music. The Swedish music producers have had a MASSIVE influence on popular music for decades. They have exerted that influence on the US market and that has bled over into the UK (and the world). But I dont think it is fair to say necessarily that that makes it American. These same producers have written and produced many/most of the biggest hits for the likes of Taylor Swift (who fair enough does a fair bit of her own writing I believe), Katy Perry, The Weeknd, Britney Spears.
@@johanfredriksvendsen8482 90% LMAOOOOO, the most popular music in the world definitely isn’t written by swedish people at all, not even rap, rock, pop, jazz, and even other forms of pop came from the US in general, and the US scene actually does have influence on most of european countries especially hip hop, i’m seeing italians dress up like they’re in NYC thinking they’re crips and bloods…

You are right about the Humour😅😅no one beats the British when it comes to English comedy. I'm still watching Mind Your Language to date and its always hilarious
@@starofdabloc kings of comedy is hilarious! Now, Steve blames cancel culture and will never do another live comedy show in his life because of cancel culture.
I'm simple the UK/Brtish movie industry suits me more than US big mainstream movies. There's a lot of little known but really great stuff like: ‘Trainspotting’ , ‘Human Traffic’, ‘Saving Grace’, ‘Four Lions’, ‘Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel’ and many more …. The UK is also the cradle of rave, there aren't as many electronic music labels, producers and DJs from the 90s still working in the US compared to the UK.
TLDR: The US' culture is more relevant around the world thanks in large part to WWII. Prior to WWII, the US, Europe, and Russia had more cultural impact than the US. Ranking is subjective. Ranking is subjective. But impact can be measured. The US has a more impactful culture because WWII left Europe in disarray and the US's Marshall plan and global institutions. There is also an element to our less-regulated markets leading to more innovation in media and fashion. But that comes with more pollution, disease, homelessness, and less-well being amongst the citizens. The UK had more cultural strength prior to WWII when it was aggressively colonial. At the turn of the 20th century, the US was mostly ignored. In US cities at the time, Paris, London, Vienna, and Moscow culture was top-class.
@@feloceluko2426 She is a better all around performer. Adele is a better singer but Beyonces whole show is far more entertaining. I could counter Adele with Whitney Houston and that pretty much puts an end to that discussion

Whitney Houston beats Adele in terms of range and all around vocals. Not sure what your question has to do with my comment
If we are talking about culture, we are talking about popular music history, not current. If that is the case, then unquestionably the Brits have superior culture in the world. they can rival the US in famous artists and the country has 25%, of the population. The world0 best selling artists are the Beatles, Elvis, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rod Stewart, the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Michael Jackson,The Bee Gees, the who Most of those are British What else is culture? If you are talking about sports most of Non-American mainstream popular sports originated in UK e.g. football, rugby, Cricket,golf, boxing (Internationally recognised prizefighting),Badminton, table tennis, F1. 3 of the top 6 popular sports in the US, are derivative of sports originating in the UK (American Football, ice hockey, baseball) Everyone's culture is special, in its own little way, there shouldnt be discussion with "best" as a term, At all!
There are a bunch of people you left off like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Prince. Then the whole Pop boy bands who are heavily choreographed thing started in the US. Like back in the 50s actually. I like a lot of UK artists but listening to Lauren I realized most of them are males. TBH I can think of only a few non white UK women who’ve made it big.
@@cpj93070 this is a multi dimension discussion and the OP in this thread specifically mentioned history and things being derived from other. Like how uk rugby morphed into our football. History and culture are interlinked. The UK is the originator of many wonderful things, Rock isn’t one of them. As far as who is better? Hard for me to say because I listen I like Cold Play, Bush, U2, but I am also into Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers. The rock bands I have gone to see most are Better Than Ezra and Cowboy Mouth which have had some mainstream success but mostly low key in the New Orleans area. I listen to a lot of local bands. I also like a lot of alternative rock Gin Blossoms and grunge rock like Foo Fighters and Nirvana. I like pretty much all genres but I can only take bluegrass in doses.
Putting the US against other countries in terms of pop culture is like putting Japan against other countries in terms of anime
Other countries can produce pop culture they just don't.

@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek that’s true! UK pop culture is cool. But the most famous country for pop culture is undoubtedly the US
I think it's an unfair question, because the US is a very diverse country, in music as well , there are many types of culture and music in the USA, very varied styles
Agree and i'm from neither of these two countries
The US has Latin American and African American culture as well. I notice how people outside the US tend to think the US is just white American culture an that’s far from reality. More than half of the US is also European just an interesting fact.
@@DA-db9bi thats not true. I am not american and I only can remember black music and movies in american culture

@@mustachinhogrosso3535 Tell anybody outside the US to describe what they think of a typical American an everything they say will be related to white American culture FACTS.
The English girl saying that they have better music and she mentions rock. Where did rock originate from? Rock, jazz and the blues originated from the US, from African Americans.
Which is African more than US to be honest then, and it is true Britain in rock music is a lot better no band beats the Beatles for a start.
@@cpj93070 It is NOT African. You go back to Africa and you would never hear that type of music. It was invented in the US by AMERICANS. Why do people think that Americans are only white and if you are not white you are African not American? It’s blatantly racist. You don’t have to be white to be American. Let me guess European?
@@cpj93070 what do you mean it’s African more than the USA? It’s still American because black Americans are an unique American ethnic group that can trace their lineage in America 11 or more generations. America is an immigrant nation so everyone has contributed to forming its culture since it’s “founding”. Would you say samba is more African than Brazilian even though Afro Brazilians ( Afro Brazilians have been in Brazil just as long as Afro Americans have been in America) made it? It makes no sense and lacks so much logic and it seems like hating. British copied everything the USA does including our rock and jazz.
@@capeverdeanprincess4444 Don't you dare say about us Brits copying everything, your whole nation is based on copying, how many things you copied off my country?
Rock originated in the UK. The Rolling Stones are considered the first rock band and "I can't get no satisfaction" is considered the first rock song in music history. The US had Rock'n'Roll, but that's not Rock. Rock'n'Roll uses a different beat, influenced by blues music Rock music instead uses a typical European beat. The Stones and the Kinks brought Rock music to the US, where it was immediately copied by other artists.
Something I really find annoying about the US is,that they tend to believe they invented everything. Like so many people in the US think the car was invented in the US.
Rock comes from America
Just like Dr Strange and Spider-man's actors , Henry Cavill aka Superman is british as well , but they are more famous for their US movies
@@saxon..falkenhayn2908 UK and USA dominate the world, culturally.

@@KarmaKraftttt hate is a pretty strong word lol how can you get a whole group of people who most likely haven’t done anything to you or don’t even know you pal
The actors are british but the stories and subject matter is all american. LMFAOOOO
I think there is no culture which is best or worst, every culture has their own beauty and traditions which are best for their followers
What is “better” is subjective but American music is a lot more diverse than Lauren realizes. We listen to Blues, R&B, Jazz, Country, Broadway, Bluegrass and much more. Actually a lot of genres including rock originated in the USA with black people. IDK why she is claiming rock as being British? American culture is heavily African influenced not just European influenced. I actually thought this was common knowledge. This whole discussion sounds super Anglo-centric. Breaking news: A lot of us Americans are not white.
Adele and a lot of UK singers purposely sing in American accent I think to widen their appeal. The thing about Beyonce is that while she has party music, she also makes music with social commentary which to my knowledge Adele doesn’t. For example she has a song called Brown Skin Girl that uplifts women across the world with darker skin. That song strikes more of a chord with me than Rolling In the Deep although I like Adele. My whole life I’ve loved Bee Gees, George Michael, Phil Collins, Elton John, Rolling Stones, Craig David. I saw Ed in concert. It’s actually the female UK artists I tend to not be as into but I like Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, Sade, Natasha Whatherface, Dua Lipa.
I have noticed some UK artists like Ella Mai actually use a lot of US slang in their lyrics.
The punk movement is pretty distinctly British and still holds an edge in the art/fashion/music coming out of there (eg Alexander McQueen with fashion, etc) and music is a big part of that scene- and then also on other rock spectrum is the Beatles and Rolling Stones as well as Pink Floyd- many countries around the world outside of US grew up with British rock more than American, so I’d agree that they have that edge and influence there. That’s for boomers. Milenialls and Gen Z shifted American internationally (probably because R&B is phenomenally influential).
Absolutely there is so much incredible music from the US- jazz, blues, hip hop, r&b, bluegrass… and many of those elements (particularly blues for rock and r&b for pop) holds an influence in UK as well since people borrow elements. There are also lots of American musicians borrowing from British (influenced from Pink Floyd etc)
One thing I have noticed that’s different for sure in movies is the humor is different, but that’s so subjective. And for cinematography/filming In the UK there is less obsession on “perfection” which I prefer, for example people don’t always look perfectly styled down to the last detail, interiors don’t look like a set, etc, seems more relaxed and authentic compared to US shows & films.
@@w00tz4ibanez Yes, but rock and jazz originated in America. Black Americans are responsible for forming every American musical genre including country, rock, and jazz.
@@capeverdeanprincess4444 yeah I wasn’t trying to say that as a genre rock started in the Uk, but the specific sounds and sub genres coming out of there became very popular internationally
@@w00tz4ibanez I’m a musician myself and I think we are all interconnected. I think it’s great to have creative collaboration. i was in New Orleans went to see a group of Peruvian Jazz musicians play a concert. Beautiful how music connects people. But I think claiming something as your culture is another layer. Example, I love reggae. I listen to reggae. But I wouldn’t call it part of “my culture” . Lauren’s comments like oh you have hip hop and country. British rock music is a by product of American rock music.meanwhile there is a lot that we have absorbed from the UK. But I feel like some UK people like to think we are a UK part 2 when it’s not that simple. The percentage of non Europeans living in the UK is greatly different from the percentage in the US. Maybe the discussion should be what product we think is better rather than what culture but that is subjective. If people are touchy it’s because for a long time music and other things associated with black Americans were looked down upon. Then they put a white person like Elvis who would go hang out in juke joints with black people to sing the same music and it’s not only acceptable but then before long the story of Rock and Roll ceases to have black people in it. Minorities in the USA and their contributions are often overlooked.
@@w00tz4ibanez I am also a videographer. I do like great and creative cinematography in a film but I also need great stories, developed complex characters. For awhile Hollywood just seemed like they wanted to blow things up and make the plot secondary. So I won’t act like I love everything we put out. But I do get to sometimes see my own culture black rural Southern reflected in our films so that’s a bias for me. As a child I watched Helena Bonham Carter movies. I like the period pieces like Downton Abbey but a lot of the more modern stuff I can’t get into. Here in the USA they would show Ms Marple and Inspector Poiroit. Now I loved some Benny Hill as a kid. Lol I can see more now with Netflix but I actually like shows from Spain more than England. I did watch Top Boy and there is an old show called Desmond’s I think that was really funny. It was also a chance for me to see people in your country other than the European majority. I prefer UK novels to UK cinema. but please give me some suggestions
Respectfully i don't know why this video was made. The old "Americans are ignorant" stereotype is back firing. I love Lauren SO MUCH but rock and all that did not start in the UK it was made by people in the US, let alone made from BLACK PEOPLE. Also other people of color. Not to mention having two white people talk about culture esp for the US is kinda weird. Shannon held it down for the US but even she knows and showed with that eye roll that this was a far fetched video. America has about 4-5 TIMES the amount of people in the UK. Not to mention 87% of ppl in the UK are White... compared to Americans dramatic diversity of all races and different cultures. You'll see a whole lot of Indians or middle easterns in the USA way faster than in the UK. (not personally to Lauren, much love) But the fact that Lauren thinks some of these started in the UK is an unfortunate representation of how black and other minorities have been stolen from. Much respect to UK culture and its diversity... but the US is WAY TOO BIG and DIVERSE by miles compared to the UK to compare "american culture." No harm was intended as we all love thus channel, but this was not it.
American dream, British scream
There are more percent Indians in UK I guess. But yeah overall USA is more diverse
@Tyree k. Unless I'm missing something I think your wrong. White English bands like The Beatles for example are not that same kind of sounds that was coming out of black Americans Rock & Roll music like Little Richard. Rock & Roll isn't the same as Rock music, it's dance music. If guitar isn't the prominent instrument it isn't rock music. A lot of Rock & Roll is piano and saxophones. Rock came out of Rockabilly & Pop Rock. Rockabilly & Pop Rock came out of Rock & Roll and County. Rock & Roll came out of Boogie Woogie & Blues. Country came out of white American folk culture. There was a combination and progression of white European instruments & culture combined with black Americans culture. These sounds didn't spring up from Europe or Africa. No other races really influenced American culture in those beginnings since there were hardly any other races here at that time besides American whites and blacks. There is no stealing of culture from blacks or other minorities. The misconception is the definition of what Rock music is. If this was about Ragtime, Blues, Rock (& Roll), R&B, Boogie Woogie, Doo-Wop, Funk, Hip Hop and they said the U.K. invented that then you would be right.
@@KyleReeseCel2029 didn’t the Beatles say themselves that a major influence was American blues and rock amongst things like Indian music, etc…. Also country music is far more intertwined with aa culture even back since the late 1800s than you give it credit for.

Matter of fact, everything cool about American culture is Black Americans creation
This is really chicken and egg: African-Americans got rock Music from English folk music. Black Music from the 19th century, Built upon through the 20th-century, shows total influence from folk music, pre-19th-century amongst rednecks in UK, Which is an element of the culture that black culture transitioned from during slavery (UK rednecks), as black Africans unfortunately had, most of(but not all) their culture stolen from them

5:08 In addition to Harry Potter, we also have the James Bond series, the Ealing Comedies, the Carry On films, the Hammer Horrors, the work of Powell and Pressburger (The Red Shoes, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp), the Cornetto trilogy, etc. We also have multiple large homegrown film studios such as Pinewood Studios (which makes James Bond and which made the Carry Ons). Our film industry peaked from the 1950s to 1970s, and many of the films I just mentioned are from that period.
Actually rock music comes from afroamericans.
True. It didn’t come from England like this English girl said.
That's debatable - certainly They were a major influence., then you could say that Afro-American music comes from folk and classical in UK and Europe, Just like recently, its been proven that black American culture, comes from white rednecks, from the UK, transferred to black communities, who were robbed of their culture during the enslavement transition. English great music before 1800 Drawers a lot of parallels, with black music developing through the 19th and 20th centuries
After all, everyThing came from somewhere, Unless we are talking about Adam and Eve here😀
That's wrong. Rock music was invented by the Rolling Stones.

Culture is far more than just music or other art forms. It's history and tradition too. In that there's no contest. In music I don't think you can separate two cultures that have inspired each other as much as the UK and US. Both have taken what the other has been doing and created something fresh and new from it.

For movies and televisions there is a MASSIVE gap. The UK have a plethora of skilled actors coming from theater productions with experience doing live shows and actual training. That is why the British actors are everywhere in American productions as well, on the whole they tend to be much more skilled. In the US they have the classic "dream of becoming an actor" where people from all over the country just move to LA and try to become an actor. Some make it (largely based on luck and/or looks, not to completely disregard talent), but on the whole it not exactly conducive to good performances. You see all the time these British actors get hired to play roles where they need to do challenging US dialects. They are simply on another level even if their movie industry is not at the same level as the one in the US.
The greatest actors of all time are American well, at least the majority.
@@DA-db9bi America has produced a lot of excellent actors, no doubt. There are also a metric shit ton of terrible ones that get roles in TV and movies, much more so than in the UK. I would say your "majority" statement is arguably accurate, but put in perspective the MASSIVE gulf in acting opportunities with the US being a much larger market and has been ever since movie and TV came to be. It is/would be impossible for them not to at least be up there, after all people like to hear and see stories that they can relate to. Think how many productions get made that are set in the US. I would say it is absolutely notable how many Brits are killing it in TV and in Hollywood.
@@DA-db9bi It's totally a matter of opinion as to what is great. also, quantity means nothing in this situation, as America as 4 times the population. in Polls of the 2 greatest actors of all time, Taken from all generations would undoubtedly be Lawrence Olivier and Daniel Day Lewis, both British. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro may rival Daniel, but Older generations even in the US, would say Olivier, but I guess most of passing away right now

Our music is by far the best because of our huuuge diversity....where a small few of UK artist kinda carry the torch the circle is real small compared to the US....movies, as well very few UK movies and shows have made it here ...Netflix has been a real driver in bringing international shows to the US n most have been real winner but thats still grasping straws compared to sticks.....sorry UK we got you beat
I guess it depends on how you define 'a small few UK artists'... There are and always have been loads of British musicians and bands that are massive in the US (and the rest of the world). And some of them were hugely influential like Bowie or the Beatles. If you look up the list of best selling music artists of all time on wikipedia, of all the artists who managed to sell over 250 million records, 3 are American and 5 are British.
I'm from Germany and to me it is pretty damn impressive that such a (comparably) small country has been this influential in the music industry. Lower down on the list you can find more American ones but still a fair amount of British artists. And the British music industry is pretty diverse too, maybe some of the more interesting stuff just doesn't make it to the US? Don't get me wrong, I love loads of American musicians but considering that the US is much, much bigger, the British music industry is kinda more impressive for its size.
And as for the British film industry... I think you'd be surprised. It's booming. It has recently seen much more growth than the American one. It's actually becoming a real competitor. And that is just looking at stats and predictions about things like studio space and box office. Back when I studied film, British films would on average get higher ratings in reviews than Hollywood films. Some would consider critical acclaim more important than box office or quantity. That was a few years ago though so I don't know if it's still accurate today.
False
you Americans always think that you got the world beat!. The Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Phil Collins, David Bowie, Elton John, Queen, Ed Sheeran, Black Sabbath, George Michael, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, The Who, Pink Floyd, to name but a few!. We match you Americans all the way for pop culture!!!...

How old are these two?
British culture is a monolith compared to the many cultures of the US.
Adele puts on a different type of show. They are both amazing performers
True, they are perfect
Adele usually sings about failed relationships - she's a one-trick pony.
I hope her Vegas residency gig works out.
You definitely haven’t seen Beyoncé perform then. Bc she actually puts on a different type of show. I haven’t seen Adele put on choreography back to back to back while hitting the same notes they both can do. At most Adele gets up from her chair and sing with fans. But great but having a intimate singing session with fans isn’t the same as an actual performance.🖤
@@tyreek.6815 I'm baffled at Adele's popularity. Her song themes, styles etc are very limited.
the blonde chick is so hot
Agreed
I think you need people on here that know more about music historically and the various genres and the artists in those genres because this is sad. Also overall about the different topics across the board on here. Too basic. Rock is from the US, you wouldn’t have Drum and Bass without the Praise Break sample from African American churches, UK Drill is from Chicago Drill, Techno was created in Detroit, Jazz and all the different types like New Orleans and Coltrane’s freeform jazz is from the U.S. R&B, Big Band, Soul, hybrid music, Rap, Country, Bluegrass, Swing, Ragtime, are all American as well and even those can be broken down into sub genres, like let’s get some real information in these videos.
Americans got way more music diversity than UK since UK’s modern music especially comes from the U.S. mostly anyways 😂 When all your favs and legends are fans and were inspired from our originators, we already know who won!
This would all be a great argument if the question of the video was which (topic) came first
@@stormraven198 Original beats copy in my opinion. Plus she said listed off the types of music the UK had plus said they have more music genres, when we also have plus we created it, so what’s better than that?
@@starofdabloc it's unfortunate that you think that, just because its original does not always make it better
@@stormraven198 I think it’s both original and better not one because of the other 😂
Wow!!Shannon knows Little Mix?!! 😭❣️
I love both UK and US music tho:)
British Icons with unparalleled magnitude :- Harry Potter, Adele, James Bond, Sherlock Holmes.
Can add lord of the rings to that list but the USA can come back with Star Wars, Taylor Swift, Batman, Spider-Man and Game of Thrones.
@@marcanthony8873 To be fair GOT is pretty much British history. But we can comeback with far more than they can.
I do give the UK credit though for a small island they push way harder than their weight class.

America is one of the greatest countries countries and 1 of the safest Countries
nooooon it is not safe at all guns guns guns
safest!!?. Yes, the US only has about 60,000 murders each year by gun, and on average almost 2 mass shootings each day!!
im sorry, but you are delusional if you think UK has better music than USA. Not arguing they could be better in some things, but nothing in entertainment. Your most famous music artists move straight to America for a reason.
They have better comedy.
you're the deluded one, we match the US for music!!.; the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Phil Collins, David Bowie, Elton John, Queen, Ed Sheeran, Black Sabbath, George Michael, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, The Who, Pink Floyd, Rod Stewart, Adele, Dua Lipa, the Kinks Genesis, to name but a few!. We match you Americans all the way for pop culture!!!...
It is difficult to say that America has its own culture. More like a synthesis of different cultures
So is the UK
@@VTEAM229 yes but not really the true culture of Britain was always Anglo-Saxon/norse/german/celtic. You probably thinking African/muslim lol
That’s a fair point but a lot of people outside the US tend to forget that the US is not the only country in America.
No,it’s just difficult to understand for a person,who doesn’t live in such a multicultural country like the USA. It is our own culture because that’s how our country is,it’s a melting pot,a sampling of world’s cultures.))
@@GD24__ I agree, 57% of Americans are European or of European descent which makes the US the country with the most Europeans outside of Europe and if you look at a city like Miami it’s 70% latino🤷🏾♂️ it’s basically a Latin American city of people from all Latin America including Brazil. The US is also the country with most Asians outside of the Asian continent. The US is literally filled with culture, but people outside think it’s just white people in horses😂
2:36 and, 2:19 Rihanna is Barbadian
I’m from the US and I think the British make better music!
Undoubtedly,I like American movies and world's sweetest Indian music.
what about taylor swift!!
Way better out there
"I feel like we have a huge variety of music"
Okay, am now biased against her. There is more music selection in Texas than your entire country. People really need to realize how large the US is, and all the microcultures associated with land here. If this was Sid Meier's Civilization, the USA would have won a Culture victory already. The UK honestly can't compare.
@JP just say you hate Americans like 90% of Brit’s and Europeans in general which in itself makes the majority of you ignorant.
Facts 👌
the way i perked up when shannon mentioned little mix 😭😭
Lauren is definitely ignorant about rock and its origins.
Shannon is really beautiful
I like USA so much for music is amazing better than England music because I am from Ireland England is annoying about brexit we are trying to help Northern Ireland but England keep saying no to Ireland
Lol. I ran out of breath even reading all of that. It makes no sense at all. No punctuation what so ever and its all just one lengthy sentence. No wonder why UK associate you with Americans now a days. 🤪🤣
so basically you are siding with the Americans because you are annoyed with the British over Brexit!!!.....😂🤣
All of UK music is rooted in American music, specifically African American music. If you ask the Beetles where their inspiration comes from, they would tell point you to the American south and the so called “race music” of the era. In a sense the UK was exposed to better American music than many Americans due to segregation and it’s impact.
The problem with the question is that both countries are multicultural and so have many cultures. What I think you mean is what is better out of Anglo Saxon British culture and Anglo Saxon American culture. I can't personally answer that question as I am English so I am going to be bias. They're fairly similar tbh and I prefer some American stuff
I think the United States and Great Britain have influenced each other for our benefit. We had rhythm and blues and early rock and roll such as Elvis, who influenced the Beatles. There are other great British bands in the late sixties and early 70s. The UK also gave the world the Rolling Stones, The Who, led Zeppelin deep purple and Black Sabbath. They gave the Sex Pistols and we gave the Ramones. We gave the world Disco. They gave us Iron Maiden Judas Priest and the rest of the new wave of British heavy metal in the late seventies and early eighties. And that inspired Metallica and similar bands. I haven't even scratched the surface of pop culture, pop music and fashion. We're incredibly grateful for Simon Pegg and Nick Frost by the way (just had to throw that in there). In all seriousness, I would never want to compare our cultures. England gave us the concept of the magna Carta and the Parliament, which influenced us. British philosopher John Locke heavily inspired our Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers. And thanks to Scotland, I have several kilts hanging in my wardrobe as well. Yeah no comparison necessary. I still love your videos though
I mean maybe in some areas but for the most esp in music is very different. You've mentioned like 10 percent of amercian culture. Like american rap (Hip hop) is different all over. We have West coast, East coast, southern, texas, DMV etc. All of those are influenced by African american culture that is vasly different. I didnt even mention Hispanic rap or their froms of music. Altho i agree that they may have influenced eachother but for the most part they really havent. Another example (how hip pop started) is Jazz music. Which again is another African american root but is now world wide and is losing its root acknowledgement. Ive only mentioned one culture but this can apply to the Mexican-Americans, the Asian Americans, and on and on.
@@tyreek.6815 I agree 100% And I only brainstormed my initial thoughts. That's why I had to conceid immediately that I only scratched the surface. I love rock and heavy metal and one must acknowledge that everything came from the blues. Early rock and roll was heavily influenced by African Americans as well. And that kind of led into my point listing all those late 60s early 70s British bands because they were also very influenced by American blues. And you're 100% correct about other outside influences and cultures influencing Western popular culture. I appreciate you adding on to my comments because it wasn't my intention too omit all of those influences.
@@michbenny1363 with all due respect nobody in the US pays attention to the what goes on in the UK. You guys are our British counterparts, but we honestly don’t care about you guys an that’s the nicest way I can put it😂😂😂.
@@DA-db9bi , to be honest we don't pay too much attention to what goes on in the US either!. We have our own music and culture, and a rich history to go with it!!..
@@Andy-yn6jl you guys have protest on our laws and presidential elections in which thousands attend😂😂😂😂. I don’t think your comment is very accurate. I even hear Brit’s say things like “that’s so American” over the dumbest and littlest things, it’s just comedy💀😂.
Shannon is such a beautiful girl
She also defends the South of the US, for once.
Enough with the Californian dumdumbs.
Both the UK and the US are multi-cultural.
Uk not so much
@JP literally just London. USA is all over
@@officerkd6-3.76 you haven’t been here have you? Literally Manchester Birmingham hell even Glasgow is diverse people always seem to forget that the UK has proportionally just as much diversity as the US
I don’t agree that the UK is just London. But the UK still doesn’t compare to the US in terms of being multi cultural. Yes they both are… but their are 4-5 times more people in the US let alone way more diversity. UK is 87 percent white… yea there’s cultures within that but what’s just white ppl… US has way more other races and way more diversity of all cultures. It isn’t close. Logically US is fast more multi cultural.
@@tyreek.6815 it’s not 87% white tf are you getting these facts from 😂 and believe all not, not all white people have the same culture you seem to think all white Europeans are the same with that logic😂 tsk tsk another American so oblivious to other countries and their cultures yes your country doesn’t have culture since it is just migrants but please pal do some research before being a stereotypical murican

Was anyone else hoping that one of the two would try to bleat like Beyoncé?
I WAS.
Just so you know most of the american artist work with swedish songwritern and producera so the music its actually made here or there sometimes to but often the songs are written by swedish People but the amerikans singss lol
Usually same with uk sorry to say lol
Rihanna a swedish songwritern and producent work with same with Beyonce
Adele i dom think so tho
doesn’t change the fact that it’s still american culture…
Depending on the genre, it’s the norm for the singer not to be the songwriter. I have friends who make a living writing songs for other people. I also write and record songs. It’s not uncommon for labels to have writers on staff. Also it’s not necessarily that writers are writing for a particular artist. They write the song, make a demo, then pitch it around trying to get what’s called a cut. But that’s very hard to do without connections. Probably the songwriters in your country have traveled to the USA and hustled to make connections in the industry
Cultural Mix: HBO produced Game of Thrones with major star casts being British- Sansa, Arya, John Snow, The Queen.
It’s only bc its supposed to be medieval times when the US and the American accent didn’t exist. That’s why most of the medieval fantasy genre has people with British accent mostly
@@what.are.you.doing.stepbro Ohh! No you are expecting way much logic from Hollywood. What about :- Christian Bale, Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, Tom Hardy, Jason Statham, Henry Cavill, Tom Ellis, James McAvoy, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba..(female artists not mentioned)
@@emotionalIntelligence2078 they play American roles. They have to abandon British accent in order to be in those movies. And they left the UK to be in the US cause UK sucks
Unpopular opinion, but I would never be able to pick between Ed Sheeran and Charlie Puth. I don’t even know who I dislike more (but I respect their talent for writing)
Grimes is from Canada. Love this duo so much ❤️❤️
The UK has a variety of music… and most of it taken from the US. 😅
Pink floyd,black sabbath,queen,late period beatles etc sound nothing like american bands..
@@davehoward22 Time to crack open a music history book
@@davehoward22 Look up Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Big Bill Broonzy, and Robert Johnson. They influenced Zeppelin, Rolling Stones ( who got their name from the American Rock magazine btw),as well as ACDC. Queens Freddie Mercury was influenced by Aretha Franklin. So yeah British music I'd pretty much American. Adeles Rolling in the Deep is straight out of the Mississippi delta.
Gr8me was inspired by American Hip Hop, UK Jazz was brought over to Europe by the 369th infantry regiment aka the Harlem Hellcats. Outside of dubstep Folk and the other electronic music Brits like all other music genres came out of the US, country is also growing in popularity among younger Brits.
@MsMissy time to educate yourself and use 1 percent of your brain to understand where modern day British music started from
The Beatles , end of discussion
When it comes to music America wins. Because the influence from the US in the UK is so apparent it’s ridiculous
90% of the most popular "American" music is actually Swedish written/produced or have very much tried to emulate that. I would say very rarely does the US music scene influence the UK one except for the tennis game of rock/metal music taking a lot of influence from the African American music genres and going back and forth, as well as I guess rap music. The Swedish music producers have had a MASSIVE influence on popular music for decades. They have exerted that influence on the US market and that has bled over into the UK (and the world). But I dont think it is fair to say necessarily that that makes it American. These same producers have written and produced many/most of the biggest hits for the likes of Taylor Swift (who fair enough does a fair bit of her own writing I believe), Katy Perry, The Weeknd, Britney Spears.
@@johanfredriksvendsen8482 90% LMAOOOOO, the most popular music in the world definitely isn’t written by swedish people at all, not even rap, rock, pop, jazz, and even other forms of pop came from the US in general, and the US scene actually does have influence on most of european countries especially hip hop, i’m seeing italians dress up like they’re in NYC thinking they’re crips and bloods…
@@7iscoe The Beatles beats any American artist full stop you are even using our language yanks so you think on that.
@@cpj93070 the beatles the only thing you can think of? yeah they’re good but i can name other bands that are better and more relevant, and if you took some history most of the white people here are anglo saxons 😂 especially on the east coast so it’s still our language, and also crazy how the UK accent or the posh accent is literally just a horrible french accent

The UK is also the cradle of rave, there aren't as many electronic music labels, producers and DJs from the 90s still working in the US compared to the UK.

TLDR: The US' culture is more relevant around the world thanks in large part to WWII. Prior to WWII, the US, Europe, and Russia had more cultural impact than the US. Ranking is subjective.
Ranking is subjective. But impact can be measured. The US has a more impactful culture because WWII left Europe in disarray and the US's Marshall plan and global institutions. There is also an element to our less-regulated markets leading to more innovation in media and fashion. But that comes with more pollution, disease, homelessness, and less-well being amongst the citizens.
The UK had more cultural strength prior to WWII when it was aggressively colonial. At the turn of the 20th century, the US was mostly ignored. In US cities at the time, Paris, London, Vienna, and Moscow culture was top-class.

If we are talking about culture, we are talking about popular music history, not current. If that is the case, then unquestionably the Brits have superior culture in the world. they can rival the US in famous artists and the country has 25%, of the population.
The world0 best selling artists are the Beatles, Elvis, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rod Stewart, the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Michael Jackson,The Bee Gees, the who
Most of those are British
What else is culture? If you are talking about sports most of Non-American mainstream popular sports originated in UK e.g. football, rugby, Cricket,golf, boxing (Internationally recognised prizefighting),Badminton, table tennis, F1. 3 of the top 6 popular sports in the US, are derivative of sports originating in the UK (American Football, ice hockey, baseball)
Everyone's culture is special, in its own little way, there shouldnt be discussion with "best" as a term, At all!
There are a bunch of people you left off like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Prince. Then the whole Pop boy bands who are heavily choreographed thing started in the US. Like back in the 50s actually. I like a lot of UK artists but listening to Lauren I realized most of them are males. TBH I can think of only a few non white UK women who’ve made it big.
@@anndeecosita3586 We are talking about Rock Bands and even you gotta say Britain has better one than America right?
The US invented Rock, jazz, RnB, blues, country, etc. Those music style come from the US
@@greenmachine5600 And again Britain perfected it and made the much better music and band's end off.
@@cpj93070 this is a multi dimension discussion and the OP in this thread specifically mentioned history and things being derived from other. Like how uk rugby morphed into our football. History and culture are interlinked. The UK is the originator of many wonderful things, Rock isn’t one of them. As far as who is better? Hard for me to say because I listen I like Cold Play, Bush, U2, but I am also into Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers. The rock bands I have gone to see most are Better Than Ezra and Cowboy Mouth which have had some mainstream success but mostly low key in the New Orleans area. I listen to a lot of local bands. I also like a lot of alternative rock Gin Blossoms and grunge rock like Foo Fighters and Nirvana. I like pretty much all genres but I can only take bluegrass in doses.
