A state of mind that all people who have migrated to california have been afflicted with, see also naivety, idiocy, airhead, dumbass. People with California syndrome are so foolish as to think that the whole world revolves around all things that happen in California, specifically L.A. and Hollywood. These poor people, for reasons unknown, feel they must dress, talk, act, and behave like their "Gods"; all of the actors who work in Hollywood, and make millions of dollars while having little or no talent whatsoever, who succeed by selling the worst films ever made, to their fellow Californians, along with their idea of what "trendy fashion" is.
