Thanks for the help, Kelsey!What's popular among teenagers in Brazil? Is there Pop culture different then the USA?
Hi! Kelsey.





I'm Brazilian and I can sure you that Brazilian culture is very close to US culture. At least, in the big cities. Brazil is a common Western nation, so, the habits are very close.





Unfortunately, foreigners see not much news about Brazil and most information are not good. So, people tends to believe in stereotypes and generalizations. Most believe that Brazil is a poor nation (our GDP of 2 triliom dollars is largest than Canada and Italy) and Brazilians speak spanish...





Im' sure that you and your friends don't imagine that we have US immigrants in Brazil. Confederates iImmigrants of civl war.

People watch cable TV, movies on the cinemas, and goes to churches, night clubs and parties. Music, beyBrazilianilan pop music, are the same: pop, roheavyevay metal, electronic and much more.

Not only teenagers but, adults, children and everybody dress and act just like in the USA, except national differences, of course.





Brazil is a multicultural and multi ethnic nation, just like USA. Most of Brazilian culture is European (holidays, dates, dancing, food, dressing etc.) and African (samba, carnival, some foods, etc).





Big cities are mainly like New York: very diverse with European, African, Arab, Jewish, Asiatic and US habits.

ETHNIAS


Brazil is a nation of immigrants and I have a good answer about ethnic groups in Brazil. You find most European traditions in the small cities or in ethnic communities at big metropolis like Rio and S茫o Paulo, for example.





More than 25 nation of Europe immigrated to Brazil and other 25 from the rest of the World (USA, also) sent immigrants to colonize Brazil.





Brazil is the largest black nation outside Africa (more than 34 million of Blacks and mullatos), largest Portuguese nation (32 million of descendants), largest Italian nation outside Italy (25 million of descendants), second largest German population outside Germany (18 million), largest Arab nation outside MIddle East (15 million of descendants), largest Japanese population outside Japan (1.8 million) and we have millions of European descendants from Spain (15 million), 5 million of Slavic (2 million from Poland, 1 million from Ukraine, 300,000 from Russia, 250,000 from Hungary and the rest from Croatia, Czech Republic, Belarus and LIthuania, among others), 300,000 Scandinavians and 3.5 million of descendants of Dutch.
