The internet means that the clearly differentiated cultures of Pre-2000s Britain and America are now much more of a continuum.

There was already a large amount of crossover in culture, but now it seems like there are even more, at a pace that seems to be increasing. We already shared music, with bands crossing the pond all the time as far back as the 60s. Now we share most TV and media too.

Even areas such as sport, which to my mind is the biggest single difference between the two cultures, have changed somewhat. I think there is a little more awareness of football in America, but also more awareness of "foot" "ball" in Britain.

White American/British and Black American/British cultures are interesting. Black Americans and Black British share more with each other than with white people, meanwhile White British and Americans share more with each other than the black people in these countries.

There is not so much of an interchange between Britain/America and Aus/NZ and Canada. It's more of a one way thing, although we do have a few Canadian and Australian inputs too. I hope this changes in future to include these countries more, although they will have to do better than crappy Australian soaps. Ireland is probably in the same boat as these countries too, absorbing Anglo culture but not adding a great deal to it.
Of course these 4 countries all have much smaller populations, which explains it.

I think 10-20 years from now we will certainly see Anglo culture as the overarching culture of all of the countries mentioned, with local variations a little less clearly defined than they are now.

This is how it seems to someone within this little bubble. But how do people outside view the situation? Perhaps in continental Europe you have long thought of Anglo culture being rather homogeneous? Or maybe you do see massive differences, who knows.
