West Coast Of The United States
In general, the term "
West Coast
" is a nickname for the coastal states of the Western
United States
, comprising
California
,
Oregon
and
Washington
, and sometimes
Alaska
and
Hawaii
(see
Pacific States
). The West Coast is a portion of
the West
. It has also come to be called "The Coast", especially by
New Yorkers
, or the "Left Coast," a pun based on its lefthand position on a
map
of the US as well as its reputation for being more socially liberal — or left wing — than the
East Coast
or
Midwest
. The term has been taken by
rap music
performers when used to refer to a particular school of artists. The East Coast/West Coast dichotomy has led to violence and much rhetoric. This violence and rhetoric largely subsided by the beginning of the
21st century
.
