Most cultures stand out but American culture doesn't because basically everywhere has some sorta American influence.

I use the argument that consumerism is American culture. Anything from giant takeaways, to excess consumption at holidays, Costco, Walmart, even the American Healthcare system is designed to be sold.

I think when people say Americans have no culture they don't mean it literally, they just mean thier culture is trash.

I don't really agree with that assessment though: there is a lot of interesting culture in America, as well as a lot of trash.
