Genuine question based off another post I’ve just seen
Other than Big Ben, the Beatles and oasis. What culture do English people actually have? Rest of our “culture” doesn’t seem to belong to us

Strike Oasis off that list. Overrated pub band imho.
Loads BTW.
Chaucer. Shakespeare. Milton. Dickens. Tolkien. Fleming. Rowling. To give a few literary starters.
Music - Handel. Holst. Britten. Then Beatles, blues revivalists (OK stolen but then turned to its own thing). Heavy metal ie Black Sabbath, Deep Purple Led Zeppelin etc.
For true cultural authenticity though. English folk music and all it's derivatives. Scottish dancing and music. Welsh male voice choirs.
Dance morris dancing, Jack o'the green etc.
