Somebody earlier said something I really liked, which was that the American culture is composed of multiple smaller cultures (not sure if I want to use the word subculture in this context), and that the sum of these (which is different per person) makes up a unique American culture for each person. But the additive property of culture here is what makes America America.
So then from that we have...
American culture on a macro level
American cultures on a micro level
American subcultures
How would you guys differentiate between those three? Or, maybe you think that there should be more/less in terms of categorizing it? Let your thoughts be known fellow Americans/observers of Americans! And don't worry this time I won't come off as such a close-minded douche (unless you perceive that, in which case I apologize in advance).

I'm still confused.
American can't be different?
Not going to analyze the whole country, takes too long. Just analyzing Californian culture would take a long time.
