American influencer obsessed with UK 'Vuncle' slates worst place to visit in Britain

A US teenager has integrated himself into British culture with his use of slang, fashion and love for house music.

Known as 'Vuncle' online, the teenage TikTok sensation has described himself as a 'British boy in an American body', as he's built a following of over 371,000 fans.

The enthusiastic Yank has shared every stage of his bizarre journey on social media, taking a particular liking and interest to the city of Liverpool.

You've probably seen his videos pop up on your For You page, where the American regularly uses terms like 'bossman', 'bruv' and 'innit' to great effect.

Vuncle has even got himself a 'Scouse trim' in the past, while kitted out in the most extravagant Montirex gear.

Having visited the UK a couple of times already, he's got a good idea of which cities he's enjoyed the most, and which ones he'd rather avoid next time around.

The 18-year-old has been to the UK on two separate trips at this point, visiting some of the more obscure areas of the country because, well, why not?

He's been to Leeds, Liverpool, Bradford and Harlow - not exactly what you'd call tourist hotspots, but he loved every second.

His constant use of 'innit', 'bruv', and 'mate' throughout our chat was also a sign that he was all in.

Speaking to LADbible, the TikTok sensation revealed: "The first thing that really got me in touch with UK culture was the music, especially house music, and the the rave scene is something that I've always loved since I was 15."

Born in Mexico and having lived in various American cities before settling down in Scottsdale, Arizona, he said that those around him knew of his love for house music and didn't judge him.

The Wetherspoons lover took a liking to 'charva' culture, with the word used for working-class youth typically from the north, while being associated with sportswear, trackwear, designer brands and certain slang.

Having been to this side of the Atlantic twice now, he ranked his best and worst cities based on his experiences, revealing: "My favourite city so far that I've been to, is Liverpool.

"I've never felt like so respected and welcomed into a community. It literally felt like I was from Liverpool," he admitted.

Vuncle said he was 'treated like family' in Merseyside and locals 'would really look after me'.

It's no surprise, with the American often calling himself and his haircuts 'Scouse'.

He's also been to Bradford 'a few times' and said he had no problems, 'driving Sur-Rons and eating curries with the lads'.

Vincent also explained that all the fans he met in Newcastle were 'absolutely amazing', noting that he got 'so much support' from the north in particular.

"The more North you get, the friendlier the people seem to get," he claimed.

With that being said, he added: "If I were to say one place that I'm not really big fan of, it would probably be London.

"I'm a very talkative person but in London, people keep their thoughts to themselves.

"Some seem to have like a little thing where they think they’re better than everyone else and that’s not like me, so that’s why I don’t really like London as much as other places I've been to," he admitted.

Vuncle did say, though, that despite rumours of a crime-ridden capital, he 'didn't feel unsafe'... which is something, I guess.

Still shocked by the fact that the drinking age in the UK is 18 and not 21 like the US, he likes it better here as you can go to the pub 'with the lads and have a good time', in his words.

If you aren't convinced on how deep he's immersed himself in British culture, he said: "Since I got to the UK, I've pretty much eaten doner kebabs almost every day. And I don't know if that's healthy or not, but they're good. I just get it from Boss Man."

"You can't really fake (what I'm doing), people just realise, 'oh he's being serious. He actually does love it,'" Vincent said of any haters, revealing that he's only really had support from people who recognise him.

So, for his fans, what's next?

"I have plans on getting a work visa and then coming back and launch a few things. Until then, I'm not really going to speak much about it," he revealed, adding: "Once I get that work visa, we're buzzing."

For now, though, the TikToker looks to be going on a nation-wide tour as a DJ.
