A person who tries to keep up with the trends by overusing and misunderstanding popular things such as the tide pod meme or people who misuse slang to seem “relevant”. This word is often reclaimed by the Instagram spam community.

local is a term stans use to describe basically people who arent like them. in a more specific definition, locals are people who jump on the badwagon trend-wise and think they are unique. locals think that they are woke because they retweeted a tweet about global warming but really thats it; they have no real opinion/arent educated about other things (at least most of them). easily identifiable by their basic brandy melville or tillys top and american eagle jeans or lulu lemon shorts, they tend to only buy stuff they see other people wearing. locals seem to copy trends that non-locals start. you might also find them on instagram with a “photography account” that only has badly edited sunset pictures or shallow DoF plant photos. they also have very basic music taste such as drake, post malone, rex orange county, and ariana grande. to summarize, locals are the new basic white girl that probably gave you a dirty look when you pronounced billie eilishs name wrong and love emma chamberlain.
stan: skdjsjjs im baby🥺
local: what? 😂😂

person one: have you listened to rex orange county? i just started listening to them because all my friends did.

A term coined by the alternative community to refer to posers or just basic people in general. Commonly used against preps, 'indie' kids, e-girls/e-boys, and other groups of people who claim to be alternative because they see it as a "trend" (aka everyone on alt tiktok).
Emily and Haileigh bullied me all throughout middle school because I was emo, and now they call themselves "alt". They're such locals.

A local is somebody who is just basic. They like all the generic mainstream artists and don't have their own sense of style or taste; they just like everything based on what is popular. They usually have crushes on generic hot boys/girls that everyone knows is conventionally attractive but not actually attractive. Some locals claim to be fans of different celebrities but only like the celebrity for their looks and haven't heard their sounds/ seen their movies.
They also think they're quirky for liking 'unique' things when really everyone else also likes those things.

- Ugh, my school is full of locals, I wish someone around here was different.
