Royal weddings.
Bingo. Anything involving the royal family.
Is that the European Royal Family or The King of Engurlaaand?
Quick reminder that “Europe” is a mosaic of countries, and that there is a huge difference between let’s say, Portugal, Austria and Latvia.
I don’t really think there is a country which would be so liberal regarding marriage that you could get married by Elvis or a Machine on short notice amd drunk just to get laid (on the other hand, most European cultures stopped caring about marriage, and donxt need it to get laid or have kids)
Yeah, the region in question was meant to be broad since this is a pretty specific and peculiar subject.

Kinda like when people lump California and Alabama together when talking about Americans. Annoying, isn’t it?
Not really, that would be more like lumping the states Bavaria and Schleswig-Holstein together when talking about Germans.
Naw, that’s more like LA vs SF when talking about Californians. Different beliefs, social behavior, dialects, history, architecture, etc.
You guys really need to get away from lumping Americans in the same bin in conversation. The US is huge and covers more diverse cultures in a single state than most people understand. We’re friends with Europeans, regardless of what country you’re from. We love you guys! Stop falling victim to propaganda and remember that we are allies.
What.
But you do know the cultural differences there are TINY in comparison, right?
Dang…6 day old response and I just got the notification. Sorry!
They are not tiny by comparison, which is what I’m trying to convey. For one, we have every culture in the world fully represented here across multiple regions. If that isn’t enough to convince you, take a trip that includes maybe LA, Seattle, Idaho, Minnesota or anything adjacent, NYC, south Florida, Alabama or Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. I doubt this will convince you, but I have to at least try. It really bothers me when people say shit like “Americans are x,” completely discounting the fact that we are a federation of 50 different countries, each with it’s own unique laws and cultures.

It’s beyond bizarre to me that you’d think the differences between states in the US would be comparable to that of countries in Europe. Think of the language alone.
Yes, and not even that stands. Every language you have, we have here as well. Just because English is our primary language doesn’t mean everyone here speaks it, either. Is it so hard to believe a nation of immigrants from around the globe is somehow more culturally diverse than Europe? Tell me where you’re from and I’ll take you to a community here that has everything you have there down to the floor tiles.
The US is a huge mosaic of states, and there’s a huge difference between say California and the Deep South.
That being said, their question still stands as they were just curious about possibilities in a region. The US is just as large and diverse, so it’s possible something like that exists in Europe, and if so, what.
Lmao Americans thinking calling it soda or pop is equivalent to what Europe has for cultural differences.
the US is just as large and diverse
LMAO peak Yank
Sometimes there’s no European equivalent to American depravity.
In the mid-20th century, America was considered so culturally bankrupt that the CIA thought it should create some.
BBC: Was modern art a weapon of the CIA?In my defense, I was really stoned at the time
🤣
Tbf a LOT of modern Western culture comes from the US.
Having no memories of last night’s after-ski shenanigans but today your mouth tastes like sugary cotton balls of death and everybody in the ski lift is looking at you funny?
So just for us uninformed Kids out there, what did happen last night?
What happens in the alps, stays in the alps.
Ridiculous holiday tattoos is the only thing air can think of
Getting married in Blackpool by a smashed scouser teenager in a track suit.
Hard to answer. I guess there is none.
A Johnny Halliday impersonator.
Johnny Halliday was the french version of Elvis Presley, except he lived long enough to release too many albums and become unbearable.
What’s impressive is that he became one of the best selling artists of all times while selling records almost exclusively in France. I don’t think he ever left the mainstream since the 60’s.
In Finland, the closest equivalent to this is some D list celebrity (so like someone who was in Big Brother or something) performing the ceremony on a cruise to Sweden. There is no direct equivalent however.
Probably Morris Dancers or something, with the full drunken Mummers play and everything.
The closest I can think of is going to Amsterdam in the red district for drugs and girls.
Probably isn’t a 1:1 like that but I’m sure there’s something equally trashy culturally
