  • True pretty much everywhere no, to greater or lesser extents? Bigger cities hoover up culture, both because money attracts it and then because artists and the like want to be around others like themselves, leaving smaller urban areas or rural areas to be relative cultural vacuums.

    Honestly found it even more noticeable in developing countries like China. Smaller cities, even with millions of people in them, have little cultural beyond KTV and Mahjong and hotpot, because art and music and creatively-minded young people in general all end up moving to Beijing and Shanghai and some of the more lively provincial capitals.

    I’d say western Europe does on the other hand avoid the trap, just because it’s been wealthier for longer so there’s been time and money to invest in culture in smaller spaces. China will follow this trend in the few decades I’d imagine, the US maybe not.
