Guido culture vs. "true" Italian culture?

What is the difference between the two? Is there such thing as "guido culture?"

HAHA

Is it something I said

Guido's are like the Jersey Shore. They don't represent Italian culture

IvyLeague what can you tell us from Googling about Italians?

Olive Garden just opened in Salt Lake City. Ivy's giddy. Don't piss all over that .

Guido is a made up culture it was started by italian americans in new york.Its the same as the rap thug culture started by blacks in the 80s.These are just made up.It is only synonoumus with the groups because they invented it.

I Google about the Italian mob. Not so much about Italians.

It's weird hearing Italians call themselves guidos since I always considered that word to be a non-Italian put-down toward Italians. That's what other people called Italians, not what Italians called each other. There were other words for that. Greaseball, ginzo, gindaloon, Don Cheech, etc.

We Google about Mormons too bud don't worry.

technically speaking, rappers in the (80s-late90s) were more so a representation of what was going on in their perspective inner cities. they didn't invent a culture they just got rich or got somebody else rich by making music garnered towards people that were living a life a crime

now these mothafuckas running around (2k5-present) are pretty much like the jersey shore crowd that wants to mix being metrosexual and a thug at the same time.........it disgusts me too

As a young Italian American I think the guy who made this thread is a jerkoff, "Guido Culture" what the fuck is that, again is supposed to be an OC forum!

I agree tony, these topics don't have shit to do with OC

I agree, too. This thread is being moved to our General Discussion forum.

The sad part is the people there will think its the real thing.

What? It's not? Madonne!

Here's the German Guido

Foreign Minister.

Rap culture of Hip Hop culture? (There is a difference!)

I apologize if I offended you.

Eloquently put.

It's all this guy's fault. He started this "Guido" stuff back in the 70's. Can you dig it? I knew that you could!

I can see this thread being locked before the weekend is out..

lol
