Interesting take.
I've concluded the opposite -- that we are in the midst of a cultural homogenization the likes of which has not been seen before. "Kids" these days seem to follow the same influencers, listen to the same podcasts, etc. They can even reference an exact short/TikTok meme, that has no name, but has been "making the rounds". Also, this transcends borders. Kids in the US have more in common with kids in southern Italy than ever before.
