What happens there? Is it really an isolated cultural outpost of the American South in the middle of California, replete with its own southern dialect?

White trash and Mexican zone. This band is from there.
Should be glassed just like Hiroshima.

An inland California that is 1/2 or more hour from Pacific Ocean is nothing but desert. I cannot understand how people live in such a place. Living in a flyover desert with all the major city tier taxes and regulations is kinda ridiculous

Had no idea Korn was from there.
Bakersfield has a lot of Okies from the dust bowl I think. I know a guy whose family is from there and they sound like southern hillbillies apparently. He's really gay so he doesn't. I was curious about how they retained this accent, but I really don't want to spend any time in Bakersfield. God bless anyone from there

I've heard of the Bakersfield (country) sound and its connection with economic migrants from the great depression era. I think a few country music legends, especially of the rebel sort, hail from that city. Individual cities/municipalities having their own cultural identity independent of their wider region is a rare phenomenon anywhere, and especially so in the US, which is a very mobile society. But according to your replies, this example of cultural diversity isn't all that positive.

The Central Valley is pretty shitty with probably the south eastern deserts being the only worse area of the State.
