A place in middle and high school where cults are formed, friendships (and instruments) made and broken, and the source of the band director's greatest pride (but also their least favorite place in the world).
Band kid: hey, I'm going to the band room during lunch. Wanna join?
Non-band kid: sure

Guy- They made me an offer I couldnt refuse, so I cut his arm off with my band saw and sold the meat. It wouldn't have made a good piece of furniture.

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.

Showing off your money to compare who has more, in lieu of fighting. Early stages of competition, prepping for a war, counting out who will be the likely victor, seeing who will likely win the battle or how much it will cost each opponent, in almost a threatening manner. As if to say, after this count, it will be obvious that I can beat you.
