Uh no, sorry. America is the same. I've lived in the midwest, I've lived on the coasts, I've gone to 45 of the states. I've traveled to multiple continents now too. America is America, long live the stripmall, the large trucks, and the fast food. There are minor differences area to area, but if you have not traveled actually internationally yourself, you are missing out on actual massive culture differences. Even just the UK or France, which are fairly similar will show you how vastly different places can be.
There are so many other ways to live that I don't even know how to describe to you if you haven't gone yourself. Honestly I don't know how. Go see how other people live, it will quite literally open your eyes. America definitely has a culture from sea to shining sea, and it's very different from the rest of the world.
I understand what you're trying to say, that different regions are different, and I'll give you that there are minor differences, but once you go out and actually experience truly different cultures you'll realize how similar we all are here.
