A Detroit-based graffiti and street crew that emerged in the mid-2010s on the city’s North and Northwest Sides. Known for tagging, block-style graffiti, and neighborhood affiliation, N.S.S. was one of the early crews tied to the rise of the 5 Point Nation Crips alliance.

Over time, the crew splintered — some members evolved into what is now the Northside Gutta Ave Crips (NSC), while others continued repping the original N.S.S. name and legacy in their respective neighborhoods.
“Before some of them became Northside Gutta Ave Crips (NSC), they was N.S.S. (North Side Soldiers)—tagging walls and claiming blocks on the North End and West Side.”—Detroiter

trigger song for fans of panic! at the disco. northern downpour is ryan ross and brendon urie's love song, but ryan is one shady bitch and left the band like a year l8r. it is slow and emotional and will make a yeemo cry. some yeemos are long-lasting and immune, so they won't cry but they are crying inside. these immune yeemos are scary and will most likely northern downpour other yeemos.
immune yeemo: "lmao wanna listen to my sick mixtape"

yeemo: "sure"

*northern downpour plays*

yeemo: *breaks down in tears*

immune yeemo: *cackling maniacally*

Northward

Share definition
The proper term for the experience someone has while listening to extremely noisy and ice-cold black metal.

It is named after some really kvlt and underground black metal band who's members always went up North, into the frostbitten snowy and icy mountains far beyond the lesser snowy and icy mountains that are known to the inhabitants of these lesser frostbitten snowy and icy mountains.
Person A: "Hey bro, what are you listening to?"
Person B: "Some badass black metal band. I'm totally going northward."
