I’ve been online all my life, I genuinely feel at home here. I relate more to random strangers across the world than any neighbors. Is it wrong for me to think of the (western/English) Internet as my culture?

    To add to it, I wouldn’t put “Internet” as a subculture since that is way too broad of a definition of place.

      Yeah, there are subcultures within “Internet culture”…but these days, I don’t think “Internet culture” is cohesive (and omnipresent) enough yet to call it a “culture”.

      It’s complicated and messy. Hard to define, lol
