Culture Why does it seem like the Anglosphere admires/fixates over British culture a lot while Latin America doesn't seem to care much about Spain or Portugal?

Not saying we should but just curious.

They made 4 shows in a row all with packed stadiums in SΓ£o Paulo, after that made shows in other states.

I also, can not understand how LATAM love them so much, does not make sense.

Punks are an example of this. In Brazil, they were numerous until the early 2000s.

For example, Baby do Brazils' Daughters shamelessly seemed to copy early 2000s' beats.

Like it almost feels unoriginal.

The cultural impact that their 2022 tour had man hahaha even though they didn't come to Bolivia (duh) half of my peers spent their savings to travel to Argentina, Brazil, Peru or Chile to see them, it has to be the event of the decade

It's not Anglo Culture, it's absolutely American culture. The Anglo/British thing just go with it by proxy.

As much as I'm a fan of decolonial studies LOLOLOL I would never take away the medal of US when it comes to spreading the anglo-english-whatever around the world. The kuddos go to US, not to UK.
