Hip Hop Connection Chicago
What is the connection between culture and location? Is it changing?
I think that culture, which used to be confined to corresponding locations, is losing its connection to geography. Rather than finding different cultures by traveling through different lands, we are becoming a world where many cultures exist together across many regions. You can be a pro-American capitalist Christian in Tehran, and you can be an anti-American Marxist atheist in Chicago.
Subcultures are even less bound by location than primary culture. There is a global hip-hop scene, global “club culture” (electronic music), global “green” lifestyle, and so on. You can live in any urban area in the world and select from a huge menu of subcultures and lifestyles, you no longer need to move to a different location in order to adopt your chosen culture.
Sounds very profound considering its coming out of the mouth of Tom Cruise.
