I live in Los Angeles. >.<

Everyone thinks there is a "Californian accent", and every time I hear it, it's really "80's rich white beach people" accent. I go to school in Santa Monica and my high school had a surf team and I can count the number of people with a "surfer accent" I've met on one hand, and same goes for the "Valley-girl accent".

The "California accent" is basically the General American/Broadcast accent - California has been such a huge influence on American media for the last several decades (and media has been so influential on California) that the overlap between General and Californian accents are massive enough to make them virtually indistinguishable to the average ear.

But hey, I found The Californians to be as funny as the next Angeleno. (Those driving route monologues really are only minor exaggerations). :P
