Is the destruction and annihilation of culture in the US inevitable?

The only acceptable response to this is LOL.

I finally finished the last season of Girls (which is basically the most Millennial show ever) and I can not imagine any character on that show caring the slightest about their ethnic heritage and traditions. They're the very epitome of "rootless cosmopolitan".

A big part of the issue seems to be that "culture" doesn't mean what you think it means. Specifically what you are talking about is a very narrow subset of it.

Also, let me take this occasion to finally point out that "exquisite" is not a word in French. No idea if BRTD is referencing something, but that still annoys me.

an Upper East Side socialite who has been fawmed over in NY media circles since she was a child and has admitted to some odd sexual experiences involving her younger sister

...

Are you talking about a fictional character or an actual person here? The former wouldn't be great (especially since as I understand it Girls is supposed to have a very realistic tone), but at least it wouldn't be the latter.

There are a couple "social" issues on which I'm probably closer to Simfan than to most red avatars at this point, yeah.

As for Dunham... While I lean towards "some" of her views politically, I chafe at the way she's rocketed to the top of the industry thanks to assists from heavy hitters like Judd Apatow, especially after I read up on her charmed upbringing amongst some of Manhattan's heaviest social hitters and how the New Yorker used to do reports on her extravagant birthday parties. As a child.

Ugh. Modern pop culture is sick.

The only time I saw Dunham (on a Daily Show episode) she sounded fairly nice and down-to-earth, but apart from that I don't know anything about her. Girls is not the kind of show I'd be interested in personally, but it seems like it could have a good social influence.

J-Law is awesome, yeah. Haven't seen anything with Schumer, but I had a good impression from what I've heard.

Her stand up is great (she was, since I can't vouch for her latest special, basically a female Anthony Jeselnik), her show is solid for a sketch show (though it's no Key and Peele) and Trainwreck was pretty funny.

I should watch Trainwreck. It's easier to catch up with a movie than a show (I have a long to-watch list already) or stand-up (can't see when I'd be able to see one).
