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. Stans: AAAKDELFRLMFRLRG DID SHE JUST i- Locals: What do you guys mean? LOL XD

locals are people who are VERY generic. they have personality but they stay blended in with most of the crowd. they love things like Riverdale, generic memes from accounts like dory or pms, they love using old Twitter slang like “tea” “wig” “that’s the tea” “shook” “oof”
ugh, i’m surrounded by locals who swear they’re up and fresh.

A better way to say "normies". Locals are the type of people who don't have a unique personality. They aren't really unique but for some reason, they try to be which doesn't end well. A sure way to make a baby grow into a local is by raising them into a small town and making them part of many communities as they grow and grow older. They are like bandwagons, but they don't copy everyone else. Sometimes you'll wonder if they are actually siblings with other locals or in fact twins. Or hell even clones.
God, Lincoln has so many locals, I wish someone was different for once. Wait, did you see that girl? She doesn't look from around here........maybe she can get me away from these overdramatic locals!!!
