The music that San Angelenos listen to is commercial. Taco Bell is the only restaurant due to the franchise war. San Angeles has a lot of control over its citizens. There is rarely physical contact, clothing is bland and covers most of the body. Fluid transfer is illegal, so women must go to a clinic and be tested to become pregnant. People who don't obey San Angeles' strict rules live underground in tunnels and sewers. They are called Scraps or Hooligans. The tunnels and sewers are very dirty, smelly and crowded. The Scraps are against the rules of San Angeles because they feel they take away their freedom of choice. The Scraps drink alcohol, eat meat, and swear freely.
