Bikepacking in Europe Vs America

I seen a lot of discussion over the term about Bikepacking.

I seen a lot of "What ever is fine, go and ride" and i seen "Its only offroad , if you going paved thats not bikepacking"

For most of us here are a lot of Europeans and we had a lot of paved bikeroutes.

In America , not so much.

That being said off road biking is not that ideal in Europe because all the "Best" route to go from X

to Y is paved already. Off course there way MANY exception for this but most of the time this is the case.

Why America in focus? The Bikepacking term coming from the USA and it was taken from the "Backpacking" term. Its not packing your bag only your bikebags.

So the question is that just because of some of us in Europe using mostly paved road , that means that we are not Bikepackers?

I road so many "Paved" road that was infact not actually paved.

This is my Theory/Opinion , i dont have any intetion of insulting anyone.
