Why is music from California so terrible? It's the largest state in the Union and I can't think of any decent musician or band to come from there other than maybe Joanna Newsom and early Beach Boys. It's a state that celebrates the worst aspects of American culture and allows itself to be run by former action movie stars. Can't we just give it back to Mexico?

The worst popularity-to-quality ratio art is made there and promoted around the globe as shining examples of American media (bad sitcoms, Hollywood blockbusters, Metallica, ect.). When people think of the vapidity of America they're usually thinking of something that came from California. Now compare that to the thriving avant-garde scenes in places like New York and Austin.

I've never listened to Cake because I hate their name.

I think it has it's charm, places like LA and Hollywood almost feel like parodies of themselves. It's like living inside grand theft auto universe.

This is actually true. They're passing a law that let's transgender men masquerading as woman piss in the womens restrooms. There was this case where this little boy thought he was a girl, and so his parents demanded that he be allowed to use the girls restroom. If I remember correctly, they ended up allowing it. I would've withdrawn my daughter immediately and put her in another school.

Okay doofus.
>>53429053
Celebrating is not the same as profiting from. And I'd say the worst aspects of American culture are things like racism, homophobia, general intolerance, stuff like that. You can find a lot more of that in almost any other state.

At least we can all agree this is the most Californian band ever right?

We can also agree that their albums with John Frusciante are actually quiet good, yeah?

when do you guys think weed will be legal in all 48 contiguous states

>>53429355

Californian inferiority complex in full swing. Where is your classical musician scene? Where were you guys when punk rock was being invented, when the Beats were smoking pot, when black people in Harlem were writing literary masterpieces in the early 1900s, when abstract expressionism became a thing? California's largest contribution to modern culture is Guns n' Roses and The Big Bang Theory.
>>
>>53429514
well if you take out alaska because of population

>>53428908
>>53428931

texas being the second largest state would be the largest state with a high population.

Never. There's no way weed'll be legal in Texas ever.
