What will US pop culture resemble if 9/11 never occured? What would the media be like? What would TV and movies and gaming be like?
I think TV will be more darker and the line of "darker and edigier cartoons" of the 90s might continue. There might be a larger anime boom in the US. I think things became lighter and softer due to 9/11 and the changing norm of what is acceptiable in TV. We might not see the appearance of teen/tween drama on TV and movies, as I feel they "filled" up the niche left over by the "toning down" of things in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.
