locals
What does locals mean?
On stan Twitter, anyone outside the fandom bubble — regular casual users who don't know the lore, the discography, or who's beefing with who. Used dismissively: 'don't let the locals see this,' 'imagine being a local.' The vibe is half snobbery, half self-aware tribalism.
"Don't let the locals find this video, they wouldn't survive the lore."
