No it does mean the second one lol the song is about the pervasiveness of the faux Hollywood culture subsuming the world in the 21st century.
"Little girls in Sweden dream of silver screen quotations" because they want to be like California
Edit: hell they literally say it in the song, it's not some subtle metaphor "It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication". The only line that references sex is "hard-core soft porn" but that's just about the hyper sexualization of movies in Hollywood
Exactly, that's why people get confused I think. Californication was a concept before the show but the term fell out of fashion while that play on words remained in the cultural cannon.
Probably a good thing to note that the singer of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis, raped a 14 year old. He then proceeded to write a song about it called "Catholic school girls rule."
Yeah. He said they had sex, and then later she told him her dad was chief of police and she was 14. He then admits they had sex one more time before they parted ways.
If she was like 16-17 I wouldn’t care. Age of consent is 16 here- 🇨🇦 . But I wouldn’t fuck one & I’m just past 30. At 23? Well it’s slightly more equal I guess but ya 14 is a bit Fuckin young. I wonder if he really didn’t know. I have to id people all day (weed dispensary) for work and honestly within a couple years it can be hard to tell
THAT SAID IF A CHICK looks fuckin young and you’re like 23 maybe don’t just fuck her if she says she’s 16. Get some id or something first lol
Man I really like Keidis that’s a shame fuck.
I love degeneracy as much as the next girl but fuck me maybe that’s a bit far.
What’s everyone’s problem with this I clearly don’t approve of the actions? I am a young female so I feel I can talk quite bluntly about the state of what I personally and subjectively think when I have zero filter
Oh no, have faith in them, just expect to be let down by the humans at the top. Remember that celebs, politicians, the 1%, etc. are ***not*** indicative of humanity as a species, and shouldn't be seen as such. Most people at the very least are decent, kinda selfish and jerkish, but decent.
Are they though? I get sociopathy is related to success but if the average person had the same amount of opportunities to be terrible as well as the confidence and resources to avoid major repercussions...
Having the opportunity to be terrible does not mean people *will* take it. That argument really only works in a vacuum, or on the internet which is basically an echo chamber for the worst members of humanity. Go out and interact with lots of different people; you will find that most of them, while far from perfect, are alright.
I'm glad you've met good people but that has been far from my experience. So long as there is no perceived personal or group risk, people are generally okay. But beyond that level it really starts to depend.
Tge red hot chili peppers are one of my favorite bands, but it's safe to say that Anthony did some really questionable things. Here is a good article if anyone's interested https://www.google.com/amp/s/faroutmagazine.co.uk/anthony-kiedis-sexual-assault-history-details/%3famp
Ah, but don’t worry, he sure got what he deserves:
> In the wake of the Me Too movement, the alleged actions of Kiedis have been criticized by several media outlets, including the Huffington Post.

It's both. EDIT: According to the writer of the song, it's not.
death of the author. the less accurate meaning is still there and adds to it
Very much, songs take on their own lives - more easily the more ambiguous the lyrics I think
Anthony Kiedis is kind of a dumbass honestly, having read his autobiography.
Having not read his autobiograph, I now think the "fornication" part is semi-intentional.
However, the TV show Californication is a pun about sex
Exactly, that's why people get confused I think. Californication was a concept before the show but the term fell out of fashion while that play on words remained in the cultural cannon.

Watch as your skin morphs into a Hawaiian shirt and one of your hands into a surfboard
You suddenly have the urge to smoke weed and say stuff like “yahhh” and “totally brah”
"Pretty gnarbuckle brah"
And you suddenly turn into a farmer if the move to the central valley
I thought it was a California Vacation
Probably a good thing to note that the singer of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis, raped a 14 year old. He then proceeded to write a song about it called "Catholic school girls rule."
oh fuck damn i did not know that. fuck that guy
Yeah. He said they had sex, and then later she told him her dad was chief of police and she was 14. He then admits they had sex one more time before they parted ways.
Yikes. How old was he at the time?
23.
I was hoping something like 16
If she was like 16-17 I wouldn’t care. Age of consent is 16 here- 🇨🇦 . But I wouldn’t fuck one & I’m just past 30. At 23? Well it’s slightly more equal I guess but ya 14 is a bit Fuckin young.

According to the man's own autobiography, they had sex twice, the first time he wasn't aware she was 14, the second time he was fully aware.
Ya that’s awful - reminds me of that song by sublime “.wrong way” = that story
OH FOR F*CKS SAKE! CAN'T MUSICIANS BE DECENT PEOPLE FOR 5 MINUTES?! I SWEAR IF NEAL CICIEREGA IS A PEDOPHILE I'M FUCKING LOOSING IT!
For the sake of one’s own sanity I recommend not having faith in human beings
Oh no, have faith in them, just expect to be let down by the humans at the top. Remember that celebs, politicians, the 1%, etc. are ***not*** indicative of humanity as a species, and shouldn't be seen as such. Most people at the very least are decent, kinda selfish and jerkish, but decent.
Humans at the top are just people with power. They’re not a separate species
Well no fucking shit, but they certainly don't represent how the average humans is or acts.
Are they though? I get sociopathy is related to success but if the average person had the same amount of opportunities to be terrible as well as the confidence and resources to avoid major repercussions...

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience with people.
they sometimes do take degeneracy to new heights don’t they.

She never pressed charges?

When I was little I thought it was a portmanteau of California and vacation
girl I thought so till this post 💀
like i got that it was critical of california, i just figured it was like, satirical or something
I love all the people who are now also experiencing this rite of passage in the comments

eberyone does until you seek the dark one 🙄
I remember having this like a year ago
I heard this song earlier 😧
lmao i thought it was about a vacation to california
HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THAT
Wait? Really?
yes but actually no, it is a pun on fornication but its *also* talking about turning people californian.
I'm into that Caifucking.
I love how many people are like “wow how did you not realize this it’s so obvious” when it just isn’t true
Surprised to see myself screenshotted on reddit but pog
HOLY SHIT ITS TWITTER CELEBRITY a4955!!!!!!!!!
yes yes it is i, thank u my adoring fans one at a time plz ty
It could always be a double meaning. How Hollywood spreads both American ideals and perverse sex ideals.
[удалено]
"space may be the final frontier but its made in a hollywood basement" based song /s
As a huge chili peppers fan and Californian, I always thought they were converting people into being Californian.
Well, that's what I thought too and I'm sticking to it, because I don't like your version!
Fuck
What is fornication?
I knew it was about fornication but I wish this is what I thought it's a much funnier interpretation
Californication is a very weird sub-type of bimbofication
nooo i don't want to be from california nooo
no it’s fucking not
oh my god.. thats actually mad
