I think that as Amerikkkans got more exposed to non-English Europeans online, they got more and more exposed to the view of the English as obnoxious tourists with an outsized sense of their own importance.
imo it was more that they got exposed to working class brits beyond just british musicians of a working class background, basically every trait of britishness fetishised abroad is a trait of the middle/upper classes and basically every trait mocked is overwhelmingly a british working class trait.
