Serbian and Balkan culture is related to Turkish culture?

[Bosniensis]

Serbian and Orthodox people have a lot of Ottoman culture, for they could not learn anything from westerners except from us.

Ottoman culture on Balkans is exclusively Bosniak, Pomak, muslim Albanian culture today.

Serbs and other Balkan orthodoxes are doing everything they can to clean themselves from Ottoman Influence, just like we do the opposite.

It's oriental thing. Easterners love luxury, it's Persian-Byzantine influence in fact. Same thing in Russia, they love gold, circus colors and showing off.

It's post communistic criminal thing in this case and related to Gypsies most of the time. You can see similar in gagsta Afro American culture.

About "show off" culture, it is rather a Gipsy thing also it had a boost during 1990s as result of wars and criminal and I thing it is related to some eastern European countries too. I'm not aware it was present before war among people in that amount.

Im not sure its Gypsy origin , to some degree I think you can witness that type of mentality eg culure to dress up and show off ...look the part even if in reality you are poor ... this culture i think can be recognised from Southern Italy across Balkans, maybe Turkey not sure , and even Armenia and Lebannon , I see this in many Lebanese Australians a lot and Los Angeles Armenians a lot too.

It isn't Gypsy in origin but they adopt it most.

It's not related to communism, communist estetics was very modest and luxury was forbidden. It comes from oriental cultures which put high value on luxury and flash.
India, Iran, Arabic countries, Turkey, Russia, Caucasus, Balkans all follow this trend.

That's why women from this countries dress like whores and put lot of heavy make up to look exotic, like fucking Bollywood stars.

Gypsies just picked up this culture in mid east and balkan, it's not originally theirs. They were low caste people in India without any kind of luxury culture and probably close to tribals.

You should read more carefully, not impulsive.

I'm explaining all the time what kind of environment triggered such behaviour - post communistic regimes, criminal and war.

Which is absolutely false, this kind of decadence in Balkans is more than thousand years old and Byzantine Empire was famous for oriental type of luxury.

Maybe among rich Muslims Ottomans, don't know, not among Christians for sure.

Do Croatians have oriental-type luxury tendencies?
