Who the fuck cares about other peoples opinion about you just go with the flow of life and enjoye
I always find it astonishing when Hollywood treats suburbia as some kind of mutated cultural phenomenon - as something "we" (the very hip arbiters of taste and the hopefully-as-hip audience) have never experienced, having grown up in "the city" (wherever that may be), nor would never soil ourselves to adopt as a lifestyle. Holy crap, people - most Americans live in a suburb nowadays - it's not exactly Paris in the 1890's, but it's not that bad - and it smells a hell of a lot better, I imagine.
I said that when I saw the show as well lol
I don't think that the point being made is beautiful houses = lack of culture, just that having the great house doesn't guarantee culture. The issue with "cultureless" neighborhoods, personified by the LA suburbs in Weeds, is one that could easily apply to any income bracket, but that is more likely to happen to upper middle class suburbs simply because developing diversity/culture isn't the highest priority. If you can get the awesome house and some culture too then more power to you...
every wants to have a house in the upper middle class to rich suburbs im lucky enough to live there i wouldnt say there is a lack of culture people look down on the people who live in the burbs more than people in the burbs look down on other people to be honest
I see what you're saying about it applying to any income bracket but the show at least is talking about RICH suburbanites and I just don't like when people try to say, "Oh those rich people who look down on you, they are not as good as you viewers out there with your 2 roommates and a guy yelling next door. You see, they lack a mystical quality called 'culture' and have forsaken the pursuit of it in favor of money." It's pandering and falsely populist and they're getting away with something.
*enjoy
You're 100% right that the idea that somehow wealthy people have it worse than the huddled masses is an overplayed theme. There's no need to paint all monetary success as requiring some form of faustian bargain just to make yourself feel better...
I will say that my own idea of "culture" centers on an environment of relatively free expression and that does tend to be harder to find (but not impossible) in upper-middle burbs, but there are as many definitions of "culture" as there are people
I wish Nancy really lived in Santa Clarita
