Fill me in, never heard or experienced this. Hell, I don't even know what you're talking about.
Also, saying FTL over something so trivial as a form of handshake?
Grow up friend.

Personally, I've found a huge difference between LA and LA County, if that makes sense. All the people I've met from actual LA are CONSTANTLY talking/bragging about LA, especially when it has nothing to do with the conversation. And they're the type that take this Bay Area vs. Socal @#$% way too seriously with some people refusing to even visit the other region
(Again, this is what I've experienced PERSONALLY. Not saying everyone is like this)
People from other cities in LA County are just like Bay Area folk. We joke around sometimes about the Bay Area vs Socal thing, but we visit each other's respective regions and have too much fun to be worried about that petty @#$%. I want to live in SF in the future just cause of how walkable it is compared to LA, but living in LA would be cool too. a 5 hour drive/1 hr plane ride isn't a big deal
I was born n raised in the city of LA and I haven't noticed the bragging about the city aside from sports. In regards to the whole regional argument between north and south I didn't even know it existed until I went to college in Santa Barbara with a pretty even mix of people from both sides. Cats from both the IE and Tahoe/Sac were the main ones startn beef, I guess it's because of the isolation and that bro-rage, with their "Norcal" and "Socal" decals on their trucks. From the many friends I've made from up North the styles seem very reflective upon what type of city they're from. People from LA and SF are the most eclectic with their taste, the SFV/IE bro style reflects that of Tahoe/Sac with the extreme sports gear, Palo Alto/Berklee being the northface snob counterpart to the RVCA snob of the OC. I agree with the laid-back sentiment about those in Vallejo/Oakland/San Jose, because I hang these peeps and it's like looking at a mirror image of myself in 2006 with the baggy clothes & the tall tee's, while those out here in Inglewood/East LA/Long beach have moved onto bright colors and tighter pants. In in the end it's all love because while although I prefer the sight of the ladies here down south I've dated more chicks from up north because of their laid-back personalities.

Well put, I cosign this. I didn't know their was any kind of rivalry until i went to college, and the main instigators were those from the areas listed. Ironic to because both areas have very little to offer as far as culture and landmarks. Besides Sacramento I supposeOriginally Posted by TmAk15

I pretty much agree with this. The only difference is that I went to UCLA instead of UCI. Someone also mentioned it earlier, but I think a preference also depends on where you are in life. Living in Silicon Valley (San Jose), it's a great place to grow up and raise a family in your 30's and beyond. But for a 25 year old like myself, San Jose doesn't have as big of a nightlife compared to places in SoCal. Sure SF is a good alternative, but I feel that SoCal has more options for someone who wants that fast paced life. However, whenever I settled down and have a family and blah blah, I think I'd rather raise them in NorCal, where it's more mellow.

I have lived in both So and No ..Grew up in Norcal, and I personally prefer more of the mellow on oppose to the fast pace. I don't do too much of the night life so when it comes to that it doesn't make a difference to me. FYI I live in Napa and can't compain
. Socal, I def enjoyed but would much rather visit.

Would you guys who lived in both agree that it is a bit more "segregated" in socal? Like the asians hangin with asians and the latinos with latinos etc. At least thats what my friends who go to school down there said

Cuz I googled "ammo" and "ammunition" and looked up to page 30 and didn't find that picture.
You could've easily just looked at the pic url and just reposted it.

haha this thread went in a direction i did not expect. I shoulda known better.
I was really just curious about actual clothing styles but i guess you can't separate culture from gear.
There was some truth dropped though in regards to style.
My dream is to have a beach house down south, an apartment in SF, and a fat farm/ranch in the countryside nearish the bay.
dreaminnnnnn

I would describe the difference between Bay Area style and Socal style would be the pace and the pride. Bay Area pace seems to be a lot faster due to SF and Silicon Valley, but there are slower scenes like Marin and the wine country. I also noticed that Bay Area style is very proud of its locale, to the point that a Norcal vs. Socal mentality develops. I didn't realize there was such a beef between Norcal and Socal people until all these Norcal sweaters and stickers started popping up everywhere. But I guess it also stems from SF Giants fans hating LA Dodger fans. I also noticed a lot of Bay Area folk hating on the Lakers and rooting for their opponents, yet repping Golden State hard.
And that whole "hella" thing was funny at first, but people blow it way out of proportion. Shoot, I used "hella" every now and again, before I knew it was a "Norcal thing" and I was born and raised in Socal.
That being said, from where I stand, when it's time for me to settle down, I'd prefer to live in the Bay Area. Their tap water tastes better, they have more trees, and SF public transit takes a big ol' doo doo on all of Socal's public transit. Looking at it environmentally, Norcal has almost ALL the water, and Socal needs to buy it and aqueduct it down. But never know, Socal weather, friends, and family would keep me in Socal.
