If you were born and raised in California, then the answer is no. It's simply a product of Hollywood (where this phenomenon definitely does not happen), and only happens over there, on the other side of the country, or Canada. We simply grew up in greens or browns. And then I moved away...

And so, five years later...
I hadn't realized it had been so long since I've been away from "home." A woman I met had asked if I was from California, asked what the job situation was like back there, and I said, "Oh, I haven't lived there in like, five years," mentioning that I had moved out to Pittsburgh, and then here, earlier this year.
"Oh, so you're an East Coaster now, then," she stated.
I had no response.
I still have no response.
