So I've learned that Darwin is the Houston of Australia. Explains a lot.

All I know is that pretty much no one lives in the entire northern part of Australia (not even on the coasts), and Darwin is basically the only real city there. It's so isolated that I imagine it's developed a bunch of idiosyncrasies, especially before the Internet age. They probably have some insane subculture that exists nowhere else, it's not like anyone could quickly pop over to Cairns to see what the scene was like there. Why am I interested in things like this

The only real difference between Melbourne and Darwin is that in Darwin the drinks come in smaller glasses so your beer doesn't warm up too much before you finish it.

Australian culture actually seems very distinctive to an outsider, but I get what you mean. Anyway, don't dash my hopes like that. I was hoping to learn about Darwin's thriving Papuan-influenced punk scene or something.

Melbourne's a very multi-cultural city, while Darwin just has a shitload of people drinking and doing drugs every day in a vain effort to try and forget they're in Darwin.

Pretending white people don't have a culture is because white culture is the default, "normal" isn't "normal". This is not the edgy burn you think it is lol

There's no such thing as not having a culture. There's places that aren't noticably distinct from certain other places, but if you ever think "these people have no culture" what you're really seeing is an area where the culture is the stuff you view as the default. Edit: someone beat me to it, but it's important to point out.

The idea that a group of human beings, any group, has 'no culture' or that they might have more or less culture than a different group (as if it's something that can be objectively quantified), is indeed profoundly stupid and would imply a childlike understanding of the concept of culture if put forward seriously. But also I'm pretty sure Inceltown is a (white) Australian and it's just one of those lazy self-deprecating comments that goons love to sprinkle around, so let's chill.

Yes. Don't know how anyone can say Australia lacks culture when they built the pyramids, Stonehenge, the Hagia Sofia, and Hoover Dam.

Yeah nah mate, we've got poo poo all in terms of culture unless you count all the crap we've stolen from other countries or cargo culted from the mother country. Profoundly stupid with a childlike understanding of the concept of culture is pretty Australian tho. E: burgers with beetroot, egg and grated carrot are probably uniquely Australian. Maybe you're right?

Ahh so you didn't play as white Australians then. Using the longest surviving continuous culture in history to get a 'cultural victory' seems like using easy mode.
