There are many dialects that influences the way a person speaks. Its not uncommon to have several distinct ones in one country. Quoting: TheRealRebel I am well aware of that. I think the reason the valley girl accent became dominant in English was what the Red Hot Chili Peppers pointed out in 1999. There was no way to stop Californication. [link to youtube.com (secure)] I always took that song as a warning. Now I think it may have been subliminal programming to promote Californication. Dream of Californication They repeat that over and over. Looking back, it's very much like the movie They Live if the song was meant to be subliminal programming. GLP started in 1999 (the same year that song was released), and the things mentioned in that song are right out of GLP. |

Making allegations without evidence doesn't help anyone. Again, who are you blaming for putting the subliminal message in the "Californication"? What is the main subliminal message in the song in your opinion?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83737306 Having spent much time in Cali back in the day, it started with the valley girls and became 'a thing'.. that their parents hated. So the girls loved it and it spread. Then Hollyweird picked it up, then the music industry, etc. |

I think Elvira was making the point that her generation of Valley Girls was superior. The polish your toenails line was hilarious. It goes to show that the extreme shallowness we see today existed way back then. I can attest to it. I was surrounded by it at the time. |
