How did they form? What are their specific traits? Stereotypes (even untrue, if marked as such)?
If cultural differences coincide with geography, please mention in, too.

Just fyi as a Californian, we haven't been polluted for over 20 years. Well, I'm in Norcal which was never polluted, but The Socal worked very hard to remove a ton of pollution so I'm trying to do my part to remove that old stigma.

Edit: couldn't resist "the", sorry Socal love you fuckers
