In California, rebels are known more for their muscles and surf skills than for protests and violence. In well-known areas of California like Los Angeles and Hollywood, rebels share their views through music and acting. In fact most musicians and popular Hollywood actors are self-confessed rebels. Look at Sean Penn - he's rich and famous but maintains his rebel status by speaking out against causes that he doesn't believe in.
If you don't currently live in California, but you want to experience the West Coast Rebel atmosphere, never fear. Search online for California apartments and you will find thousands of places to stay. Luxury apartments for rent in Santa Monica and Beverly Hill are expensive, but they come with all the amenities you could possibly need or want in a new home.
Once you have yourself a new place to live, you have to get out on the town and visit the rebel atmosphere in South Bay. Here you will find surfers and other Cali bad-boys, who won't have a bad word to say, but refuse to conform to the norms of society - like getting a job. If you've ever had a surfing instructor, then you can be sure you've been taught by a rebel.
Rebels often make choices that can go against popular trends. They prefer to do something that sets them apart from the crowd. This may be because their tastes are more original, or because they simply refuse to follow the piper!
I have a friend who refuses to get a job himself. He won't get his license or a credit card. This guy is a true Californian rebel. All he wants to do is surf, swim, and party. Maybe the life of a rebel is not so bad after all. At least when you're living in an apartment in California and spending most of every day on the beach!
