It's an east coast-west coast thing. People per square mile really. Motherfucking density! We're edgier because you're literally surrounded by people 24-7, thus annoyed. Yeah your cities are crowded too but more spread out area-wise. If you've ever lived in the Tri- State corridor (NY NJ PA) you can never get away from people/traffic. I've lived in all three. Have a look at the top ten, Cali doesn't even come close:

You hippies have sunshine 24-7, mild temps. I guess you could make a case that climate change will even us out eventually in the stress factor with forest fires, quakes, and you will have no usable water. Good news for me is I live right by a giant glacial lake. I've DJ'd in SF (never been to LA area) people kind of seem clicky, too mellow (but shady up to something mellow) and freaked me out if I could be honest. Here on the east coast passive aggressiveness will get you into trouble. Being blunt makes you part of our tribe and endearing. I don't know how Kaos and Method 1 moved to SF, being east coast boys from Philly.
Jungle/ Drum N Bass (and being a mixer of it) will reset your brain to think fucking fast as well. There's that. It's true we know Mr Jeb. One of the coolest cats there is.
