The spread and influence of western memes and culture, esp. that of California, across the world. Especially focusing on the selling of sex. Made of the words "California" and "fornication"

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 7th studio album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, released in June 1999. Californication marked John Frusciante's return as their guitar player, and was the band's best selling album. Singles include "Around the World," "Scar Tissue," "Otherside," and "Californication." A truly great album that utilizes guitar & bass riffs to show the band's signature funk sound.

The Californication song Scar Tissue won the 2000 Grammy Award for best rock song. The music video showed the metaphor of a battered and torn band on the road to recovery.

To voluntarily move to a new location, because it offers a much better quality of life for you and your family... While subsequently trying to turn the new locale into the same shit hole you just escaped from.
Ron moved to Nevada to get away from the insane cost of living, and people shitting in the streets. Unfortunately he is Californizing Nevada because he still votes for the same policies that didn't work in California

What is rapidly occuring specifically in the state of Oregon, particularly in regards to housing. Californians who move up here and drive mortages and rents up to beyond what most members of the "creative class" can afford. In doing so, the very people who have made Oregon unique (especially in the Western corridor, including Eugene and Portland), are driven out, and that which draws people here (uniqueness, creativity, progressive thought) is being eroded.

1. The idoling of the movie industry in California, in part. Hollywood.
2. Sexual royalties to become a part of the movie industry.

1.) The influence of the California lifestyle on other states. When Californians move to other states like Oregon, and Nevada, and try to live, speak and act like they are still in California. (originated from the Hot Chili Peppers' album).
2.) When a Californian, sleeps with someone from another state to whom they are not married.

Don't try to commit Californication in Nevada, we like our state as it is, don't bring your California life here.
