After reading the discussion today at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) zogathon's journal, I had some connected but not entirely on topic thoughts of my own.
Basically, they come down to this: I believe, in America, almost everybody is part of one, or usually more, cultures. In each culture, there are three kinds of people. There are celebrities, there are producers, and there are observers. I suppose by 'culture' I mean what most people mean by 'subculture'. And I think this applies to every such culture I can think of, from movie production to hairdressing to fashion to local town politics to net.geeks to gamers. Celebrities are the names everybody knows. Producers are those who are definitely a part of the culture, but unrecognized and unnotable. Observers are those outside the culture who nonetheless enjoy participating in it passively
