While a blanket statement is usually only a half truth it does get a point across. Few american men I know take the speedo seriously. It is either disgusting, a joke/gag, or "my girlfriend thinks they look like bikini bottoms". Sure there must be tens of thousands of speedo friendly Americans but it pales in comparison to the female bikini friendly crowd. Iv'e even met women out here who hate the speedos merely because it takes attention away from them when they are in a bikini. Men out here are shamed for their anatomy. Some like me don't buy into the message but many if not most do. This trend of excessively baggy clothing is a complete farce. Look at the styles men are "told" to wear.
My solution is that I choose who I want to be. Some do, many don't.
