Asian culture influencing American/European culture with repackaged European ideas/themes? Yeah sure I can see that continuing... but dominating with completely original Asian cultural media, fashion etc.? I doubt it... Asians aren't arrogant enough like Europeans to make that happen...Originally Posted by bobbytripledigits
I disagree. What if we were having this discussion in the '80s and I told you in 2011, we'd all be familiarized and talking about a Japanese brand that became one of the "coolest" in the States? You'd say "No way, I don't foresee Americans wearing Japanese clothes" right? What if I told you No Doubt would rise in popularity off of Harajuku themes, or Hollywood would start mimicking famous Korean cinema like Old Boy?Originally Posted by 0cks
I don't really foresee Americans listening to Chinese pop, watching chinese movies and writing in Mandarin... alot of that stuff doesn't translate well so exporting all that would prove to be very tough...Originally Posted by RetroSan

JK, but that kind of depressed the &%!@ outta me
IMO chinese culture will stay in China... now spanish though might become our national language
Chinese culture is already infiltrating. CNN has been talking heavily about Ai Wei Wei over the past month, a very famous Chinese dissident artist. Again, the money is in China, so the world will follow.
Obviously a few westerners embrace Asian culture to the fullest I just don't think the powers that be will let that become the majority...
