Definder - what does the word mean?

What is Bakersfield?

The land Bakersfield occupies used to be a barren, desert-like field. It is known for its agriculture, the Crystal Palace (gross country music hall), Buck Owens (gross country singer), home of the shitty rock band KORN, and oil pumps that litter various areas of town.

With a population of nearly a half million, it is the third largest inland city in California. God knows why, it's a pretty horrible place, with summer (late May-mid October) temperatures averaging in the high 90s and air quality that can practically disable you. Winter is short and usually doesn't get colder than 50 degrees in the daytime.

Methamphetamine is as easily found as a soda machine and getting drunk at parties in the middle of fields is a common Friday night activity.

Housing used to be dirt-cheap, but as of recently it's increased drastically. Statistics show that every single day 10 people from Los Angeles move into Bakersfield.

Ridiculously, there is only one real shopping mall {Valley Plaza} so at any given time it is too crowded to take a breath.

Much of the population are Mexicans that hop the border and invade town then clog the streets protesting their "deserved rights" when they are not even citizens.

Areas of town are sort of defined by the high schools: South High (southside), East High (eastside) don't walk the streets at night because you WILL get stabbed, North High (north) A.K.A. Oildale- which isn't a city in itself, just a name for the trailer park/white trash part of town, West High (west) if you want to get shot, mind your own business in any Taco Bell in the area, Ridgeview out in the middle of fucking nowhere. Then there are the snobby, rich schools around the Northwest/Southwest part of the city such as Centennial High, Liberty High, and Stockdale High. Liberty is home to the hottest, most shallow kids in the whole city. If you're not good-looking, you're invisible.

Friday night football games rule many kids' lives. If you're not a jock, then you're going to be pretty fucking bored and will resort to devoting your life to the "hXc!" music scene. (Scene kids in Bakersfield are known to be pretentious jerks.) You will spend your every waking moment in the sweaty, roach-infested basement of Jerry's Pizza watching shitty bands lose their voices.

The Bakersfield summer has started.. Looks like we won't be stepping foot outside for the next five months. Bring me a bud light and a pack of Camels!

kid 1 "Do you know where I can score some dope in Bakersfield?"
kid 2 "Dude, just stand at a corner and someone will come up to you and ask you to buy."

kid 1 "You're going to the Valley Plaza mall in Bakersfield?? Don't you know there was a shooting there a month ago?"
kid 2 "Yeah, there's not really any other choice. I'm bored as hell and there is no other fucking mall in the entire city."

What does "Bakersfield" mean?

A city in inland California, where kids bitch constantly about how boring it is, where in reality its actually kinda fun, there is plenty of beer and Nice places to chill besides the Valley Plaza, although there isn't much to do for free there is a river that runs through the town that people go to in the summertime and there are concerts almost every day somewhere and contrary to popular belief they don't all take place at that dump Jerry's Pizza. There are amphitheater's at CSUB the city's state university and in the southwest part of town sponsored by Brighthouse Networks, a local cable company.

also there is Rabobank arena where there are concerts of somekind almost monthly. when the circus or the fair aren't in town you can always just do what everyone else at any other town does you can hit up the strip clubs and the hooka lounges or bars like B Ryders or The Elixir. Or go to parties that happen almost daily in any given part of town including the East side, the truth is you can make friends with just about anyone as long as you don't say anything insulting and bring your own beer.

Bakersfield was rated the 10th drunkest city in america, more drunk per capita than las vegas. there is also an abundance of marijuana (and if you go into oildaile, meth) but in reality there is plenty to do if your not up your own ass.

Stupid asshole: Man Bakersfield Is fucking lame!!!! this place sucks ass why am I stuck here and there's nothing to do!!!

Not asshole: Get your head out your ass, make friends, and Party or smoke some of the weed that's growing in the front yard, or go to college and make something of yourself you can do all that here you little prick

Bakersfield - what does it mean?

A mysterious anomaly located in Kern County, California and the California's central valley.

In 2013, Bakersfield topped the list of every other single city in America with a population of over 250,000 people (even Miami and Boston) as being "America's Drunkest City".

Drivers here do what they want (cutting all 4 lanes on the freeway without looking, not bothering to replace their burnt-out brake lights, NEVER touching the turn signal, etc.), and road rage is rampant here.

A few streets are named after county music artists (Merle Haggard, Buck Owens), and Bakersfield is home to the Crystal Palace country music hall. Often called "California's country music capital," everyone here listens to country music. A subgenre of country music came about in 1950s Bakersfield called the "Bakersfield sound."

The neighborhoods here are basically 1) Rosedale - in the northwest and, 2) the ghetto - everywhere else. The east is perhaps the most dangerous, and Oildale is very close. Southwest Bakersfield used to be the shit, but has turned to just shit. A storm of people flew into Kern County from Los Angeles in the wake of the housing market crash, and brought a lot of the ghetto culture with it.

Despite all of this, I love it here. You will find that so many of us are weirdly prideful of the hillbilly cow town we live in. Out of all the big cities in the central valley, Fresno, Stockton, and Sacramento are a lot worse.

Bakersfield. At least it's not Stockton!

Bakersfield - meaning

A metropolitan city located, ironically, in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley of California, in the United States, that believes it is a town and deeply embodies this concept in its culture.

Bakersfleid culture is punctuated by its insufferable summer heat and hatred from people from Los Angeles (LA). The summer of '11 featured over 25 days of consecutive triple digit heat, enhanced by air quality at least on a par with LA (again irony abounds..) Heat peaks at 5 0'clock pm and does not abate until 3:00 am if you're lucky.

If you are misguided or unfortunate enough to move to Bakersfield from LA, be advised and prepared to witness their collective ability to blackball and ostracize, yet try to understand this has become a genetic abnormality that binds the culture. Some believe it may be a protective mechanism (they know it sucks), as 'appearance' overrides all activities of the natives, who are, indeed, interesting to observe..especially in their native habitat.

Bakersfield - definition

The only place, besides D.C. where you could lose the entire worlds nuclear arsenal and not have it burn through the crap. There's a reason they say: "There are two things to do in Bakersfield, meth or drive away."

Normal Person 1: So we've been in Bakersfield an hour, we've done everything there is to do, and we have to options left ..... so......wana do meth?

Normal Person 2: No...

Normal Person 1: Ok, let's drive away

Bakersfield - slang

a large city filled with people who have too much town pride for the disgusting shithole they live in. the air can give you lung fungus, and females cannot walk five feet down Union street without being accosted by fat, horny Mexicans in search of a good time. the population continues to grow because of the plentifulness of weed and meth, bringing in at least ten immagrant drug addicts from LA everyday. it's unbearably hot in the summer because this is, indeed, hell, and bitingly cold in the winter because Satan is cheap and never pays the heating bill so PG&E gets pissed and shuts off the heat. if you should ever have the misfortune of coming here, stay far away from Oildale unless you wish to have you nostrils assaulted by the scent of weed and taco meat.

Girl: Hey we're in Bakersfield
Boy: Shit..... I always knew I was going to hell

Bakersfield

A city in Central California, roughly 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles. It suffers from a lack of culture, backwards politics, and extremely hot temperatures.

It is the definite area at which the zombie apocalypse will begin.

Hick from Oildale: I love Bakersfield. I'm going to live here forever, smoking meth and sitting on my ass all day.

Me: You do that buddy. You're going to be a zombie anyways.

Bakersfield

A tweaker-infested, stretched-out town with overbearing heat located in the desert of central California. For having about as gross of nature as Rosie O'Donnell's sweaty crotch, Bakersfield has almost half a million victims to it's polluted, gang-infested shit-hole. It is rumored that once you move there, you never can escape it's magnetic pull, and your life will never reach its full potential.

"I heard that my drug dealer moved to Bakersfield from L.A. Now I have to find a new contact. Shouldn't be too hard."

Bakersfield

The closest thing to Texas you are going to get in California. Rent here is one the cheapest in California. Land is very affordable here.

It is an hour and half away from Los Angeles and the Central Coast, and is thirty minutes to an hour away from the mountains.

It's boring as fuck unless you like riding dirtbikes, farms, oilfields, 4-wheeling, going to concerts, shows, the Kern county fair, swimming, drinking, or doing drugs.

High quality Methamphetamine can be found in any trailer park and is a very popular drug of choice here. It has the same air quality as Los Angeles, can get up to 110 degrees during the summer, and has the highest rate of teen pregnancy and STDs in the country.

Girls are hot here but they get around like hula hoops and will get pregnant and have your kids to receive welfare benefits and child support.

Liberty High, Stockdale High, Centennial High, Garces, and Bakersfield High are the best high schools here.

Colleges are Bakersfield College and Cal State University of Bakersfield where Tito Ortiz went to.

Best neighborhoods to live in Bakersfield is in the Northwest and Northeast.

Neighborhoods you want to stay far away from is Oildale and neighborhoods near and/or on Cottonwood road and Martin Luther King Blvd.

Gangs here consist of various sets of Crips that roll deep as fuck claim East Side, country boy Crips on the South Side, and West Side Crips. Bloods are few in number. Peckerwoods are in Oildale.
