Support local bands

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.

Locally Sourced Rimjobs

A form of self pleasure involving licking ones own anus.

Have you tried locally sourced rimjobs?

Locally sourced rimjobs taste better than those from foreign bodies.

Local Group

The best friend group in existence. They have their own language, jokes, everything. Super tightly knit, there is typically a mother, father, and child figure, though these roles may vary from day to day.

Dang, I wish I was part of the Local Group...

I'm going to hang out with the Local Group this weekend! I'm so excited!

Local Conner aka (LC)

The perfect white boy, who exhibits no signs of racism, homophobia, sexism, or any negative traits and is generally attractive. Basically unproblematic and overall lovable.

Ugh, I need to get myself a Local Conner aka (LC) to simp for.

Locals

Peers or anyone around you that follow everyone. They have black and white checkered vans, or roll with the crowd. They get starbucks often, and have basic instagram captions that everyone uses. For example one can be "Summer should get a speeding ticket" and they would have on their CHECKERED VANS and have starbucks on a beach doing a pose with friends at sunset. They also have no personality and just seem bland.

Stephanie: "Did you see Angela's new Instagram post with Britanny?"
Monica:"Yeah, their such locals."
