Abstract: Assuming that the cultural regions can be detected by using the online servers of popular culture such as YouTube, the aim of this study was to define (virtual) cultural regions of Europe. Since YouTube provides geolocated data for the most popular videos, regionalization was based on shared videos that individual countries had in YouTube Trending. It has been shown that countries that are geographically closer and between which there is no significant language barrier tend to form a common cultural space. Therefore, it is not a surprise that Croatia is part of the South Slavic region. Besides, more than half of the video content in Croatian Trending was produced in Serbia.
