I agree with Cthulu here. The vast majority of what passes for culture in America is crap. When we're not living vicariously through characters in Hollywood movies and sleazy novels, we're attempting to fill the empty spaces and bolster our "status" with mass-produced toys. We are both actors and participants in the Spectacle. Reality television is only the latest and most easily recognizable manifestation of the phenomenon.
It's funny that you brought LSD up though. If you watch Pink Floyd The Wall on acid, you'll understand exactly what I'm saying.
