User blog:Seiga Miyako/Subcultures and Alternative Time-lines

Well, I've been wondering a while, as reading some of the time-lines here, I wonder how the entertainment & media would develop. Now I know there are plenty time-lines that mention News casters/stations, and other general stuff about media, but a few things that seem overlooked is at the subdivisions it creates.

However, a full description of it is not told. As in, all the smaller shows, films, even games are not, and the world-wide known stuff are.

Now I know there are some time-lines that deal with stuff like that, like Sonic in 1929, Star Trek/Wars (few of them actually), No Nintendo and few others. But that's all the main stuff that is well known world-wide.

What I'm getting at is the other smaller things that are not seen in ATLs like games only known in certain areas (example: is known in Japan mostly), Internet culture/fads (ex., Baidu/Google, etc.), or even non global-known popular films  (ex. ).

So, I would like to ask a question:

How do you think OTL popular (and not so popular) icons, like Kirby, Nyan Cat, 東方Project, Google, and etc. would play out in the many different alternative time-lines? Would it be replaced with an alternative character instead (like a new character/game that's OTL Kirby-equivalent or a character/game that's OTL 東方Project equivalent etc.). Or would it exist but completely different form altogether?

What do you think would exist in its place?

That is all...

And if there's anything I'm missing or I have made any mistakes then let me know.
