it might be fairer to say that our subcultural groups are increasingly modeled on or informed by the monoculture in some capacity.

Yeah I think this is probably the most helpful way to look at it. My pepe would be meaningless to my grandma, but would have a different meaning than for someone who's on 4chan all day

i mean we live in a time where now its entirely feasible to see old movies and tv shows and whatever from around the world, there's so much more media that peple can ally themselves against or around that i can't imagine there's much of a case to be made for a more unified culture
