But the Lowbrow art movement is an American thing. It's one of your cultures, you should be proud.

One thing that has been grating on me lately is that more and more of the Brits I meet- ncluding my husband have an attitude about Americans
Just a supposition on my part of course. However, if it helps for you to have an anonymous rant here, then that is fine if somewhat bemusing. We can all take it & more but excuse us if we do not take you seriously as an example of all Americans, from whichever state they originate.
Personally, I work on a person by person basis, regardless of nationality. It's all in the who , not in the where.
Based on your posts, had I met you and so your preconceptions of a British person, I would have either told you straight or made my excuses not to be in your company.
From what you have written, you have been encountering this. Perhaps time to look in the mirror a little.
Just a little suggestion from a migrant far away across the seas.

It may be that those you have met of late have an attitude to your attitude. Perhaps your husband is over it too.
