Even that culture, although I was really thinking of commercialised culture - movies, TV, music etc.

I am in Lima, Peru, and the young people are wearing hoodies. Most of the upper-body clothing that people wear has either US company logos on it or a pic of some US celebrity, or some text in English, sometimes all three. This is US mass culture, but the clothing is made in China.

Overweight people are becoming more common here than 10 years ago, but they are not eating hamburgers and drinking coke. Peru has its own food, and Inkacola is much more popular than coke - it is owned by Coca Cola though. I don't know if silicone implants have caught on here yet - women seem to care more about their nails than their breasts. Bleached hair is pretty common.
Luckily ownership of guns is still very controlled.
