Californication
The process by which the American television and
film industry, for the most part based in California, spreads their own highly sexualized, consumer driven, version of American culture that heavily emphasizes sex, violence, celebrity, and youth as both virtues to be extolled and goals to be achieved. Ignoring and often doing everything in their power to blur, if not erase, the
dividing line between the fantasy of the cinemas world view and reality. This process has become pandemic with the
proliferation of reality television wherein a person can achieve "Californication" without possessing any real talent but rather just the ability to make a fool of themselves on a world wide stage (See: Snookie)

-A thing that is understood to be sold by Hollywood.
-You'll know you'll have acquired it when you believe that psychic spies from China try to steal
your mind's elation.
-It is
the edge of the world and all of
Western civilization
-Tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication.

Embracing the superficial lifestyle Hollywood projects. Doing so often leads to valuing the fake,
superfluous, and
materialistic things in life over what is truly important. What every
socialite in the City of Angels would have you believe is the one true way to live.

The re-make or 'take off' of anything
california style. Making everything in the world fit into the
insanity of California - trendy, expensive,
disastrous, chaotic, and dark
Example:
selling columbian coffee in a designer package for $3 instead of .25c . Creating a
conspiracy of a
moon landing involving a complicated scheme of filmaking and politics rathar than actually spending the effort in actually landing
on the moon.

The
migration of people from California to other states to look for cheaper housing, better
morals, lack of gangs/drugs/
prostitution, etc., but bring their own lack of morals, drive up house prices, and bring gangs/drugs/prostitution to the other states.
Example:
The
californication of Utah, Arizona, Oregon, and
Idaho has
escalated in the last 10 years. Why doesn't California do us a favor and just sink into the ocean?
