Anti-American Sentiment Rises in Europe as Trump Fuels Anger

As an american who hates this I doubt it anti american. Its anti corporate america and anti trump and anti maga and anti republican and anti all the stupid crap that lead to this.
Both of these feelings will likely mix. People have the unfortunate tendency to stereotype others.

American culture kind of is weak. We even steal TV show ideas from other countries. we steal culture, and if we make culture then it's monetized. Look at hip-hop culture, it bond gagged and raped by money whores whether it's street culture making dirty money or CEO pimping artists. They all tape the culture just the same.

This does sound a lot like there is a racist subtext here, tbh. It's also patently false - there is no one "genuine" culture.

As a foreigner it is difficult to differentiate between them or rather: if the country as whole is politically mainly represented by these things there is not much a foreigner can do instead of being anti american.

Wasn't anti-american sentiment there for decades? Even as a kid in the 70's I heard that americans will have a Canadian flag on their backpack because of the negativity that comes with wearing the american flag. Maybe it's worse now but it's been there for a while.
The 70s was before my time, I remember the Canadian flag thing though. But as I understood that's more about not wanting to be associated with other American tourists who can behave quite obnoxiously when traveling in groups and taking full advantage of strong cheap local beers and the lower legal drinking age.
There is and always was some degree of anti-americanism from the left, but on a political level and not something you'd have to worry about as an individual tourist.
The headline is also a bit misleading in that sense, this "anti-americanism" is directed at Trump's shenanigans, not random tourists. -
