A part of American culture? Certainly, but let's not pretend that there aren't other cultures within American culture that are every bit as significant. Sub-cultures that you may not identify with.

Fair enough, but the fact that the two of you both grew up in America doesn't necessarily make you a-alikes either.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I've watched the men iron creases into their jeans since long before I could walk. And they did it without looking like absolute idiots. And they did it while totally existing in MY culture.

That particular phenomenon is easily 15 years old by now.
This is a much different time.
And again, you're only representing your opinion.
I know people who happen to think ironing creases into their jeans (largely West Coast culture) was corny. Corny back then even.
