A phrase whose origins may have actually been intended at one point to be helpful. However its use today seems to be restrictive and would make one avoid local music scenes. It is entirely possible though that some or many cities uphold a more welcoming aspect when uttering this phrase. Within Ottawa, "Support local music" means either pop punk, emo or "hardcore" music as other genres "aren't marketable." There is also an antagonistic approach even to friends of the band or band member where they are expected to pay over being guest listed even if said person has limited financial means. The support seems to center specifically on money rather than listening to the music itself. One is also expected to do this for any local show, even if the band's genre is not to your preference because it's about them, not you.
Emo band: Support local bands, fam!
Fan: Are there any shows like rock, heavy metal etc?
Emo band: Nah, that's not marketable. Come to our show. $15.
Band: Support local bands!
Fan: I'll come to the show because I'm interested in hearing you guys play. Could I possibly be put on a guest list this time? I don't have a lot to spend and need the money for necessities.
Band: That's not support so fuck off.

Get the Fugazi (band) mug.Ok, I didn’t know what this was until yesterday and this phrase has been a thing for months, but I’ll try to reiterate.
A “band kid” is supposedly somebody who makes attempts to squeeze outdated/dead memes into almost all of their sentences, and just a generally unfunny person (This describes me way too well I’m scared).
This doesn’t necessarily all of these kinds of people are in a band of any kind, it is just a generalization after noticing the majority of those people were people in a school marching band or something along those lines.
The majority of memes that have existed for more than half a year seem to qualify as “band kid humor, so unless you don’t want people on your ass commenting on how “bad” your sense of humor is, either start getting responses ready for angry 9-year olds slandering you on whatever social media platform is being used, or start updating your sense of humor.
(Ok but seriously though why does half of this generation not know how to spell anymore? And their sense of humor is the most downright racist/sexist/homophobic shit ever or the lowest quality shit ever. The most stupid part is that I’m a part of this wave of people. I don’t understand why you find that stuff funny? Why are you trying to push it onto me? If you find it funny, good for you, but I don’t find it very funny. Stay mad and go complain on Twitter or something.)

Band kid: “Dude check out this epic gamer moment”
Person 1: “Dude, please stop- you have band kid humor so childish it’s not even funny at all anymore.”
