In some areas, this process occurred relatively smoothly; elsewhere, the process was uneven and sometimes sparked a nationalist backlash. Among the Basques of Spain or the Corsicans of France, this has taken the form of separatist violence. Among the Scots it has been largely confined to the soccer field.

When the culture's audience and participants grow, so does the culture's production of nonsense in order to satisfy the new buyers who never knew that Stetsasonic predates The Roots' hip hop band idea, or that the Jungle Brothers were once dope. The culture is only hurt by fans who get schooled...
