I can’t decide. They’re both hilariously stupid and self-defeating. They’re both “mostly peaceful” except when they’re violent. But I’m not sure whether I prefer the East Coast’s amusingly humorless sincerity to the West Coast’s howling rage.

I say it all evens out. I say both approaches are equally moronic. How about you?
