Will the internet kill localization of culture?

[Mrl HiGrnd]

is it already happening? It seems like the more connected we get the less diversity we see with culture around the world. Things get hot at the same time and fade out at the same time. Do you think this will continue and what would the implications be?

Look at fashion.

Everyone orders the same shyt from the same sites inspired by the same blogs and local sources.

To some extent yea... mainstream will latch on to and cast of things real fast.

But you will always have you're various subcultures tho

We have and are continuing to see the death of brick and mortar businesses.

Nah, not all cultures are relatable and digestable to others by large.

I think it's already happening. Back in the day, local and regional hip-hop sounded different from one another. Now you can pick up an album anywhere, and outside of vocal accents, it's gonna sound roughly the same as any album from another region. Pre-2005, not only did regions like East Coast, West Coast and South had different sounds, but different cities had a distinct style to them that was different from even different cities in the same region.

Localized slang is pretty much dead now too. Due to social media, everybody's slang is pretty much the same. There's still some regional stuff like Soda vs Pop, Y'all, and other stuff, but most ghetto slang is the same everywhere now.
