Regional

Pertaining to a particular geographical area. The size of this area is ambiguous and may be varied to suit a particular CEO's salery.

A "regional" airline can cover an entire continent while "regional" cell phone service may give you to the end of your street and possibly across the street if you're on an extended plan.

the region

A contiguous three-county area of Indiana that borders Chicago; consisting of Lake, Porter and LaPorte Counties.

The three counties are notably different from the rest of Indiana and more in line with neighboring Chicago in terms of economy, culture, politics and association - even a time zone (the region is on Central Standard, while most of the rest of Indiana observes Eastern Standard).

The region is part of the greater Chicagoland metropolitan area according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

To get from South Bend to Chicago, you have to go through the Region.

The region

Northwest Indiana. Bordering ChiTown - people from “the region” generally say they are from Chicago. Regionites often attend universities in IN (IU, IUPUI, PU, BSU etc.) and are, for the most part, pretty chill.

Natives of Indy (Indianapolis) seem to get along well with from the Region. People from Carmel and Zionsville often say they’re from the Nap (Indy, when they are not) and these people get along well with Regionites. The two cultures are generally, spoon-fed teenagers who think they have some level of street smarts, as they identify with metropolitan regions near them (Region - Chicago; Carmel - Indy).

Individuals from the real Chicago and Indy seldom get along with Regionites; as they claim a city that is not theirs.

If you so happen to meet a Regionite, they will likely have these traits and qualities:
-Respect
-Loyalty
-Some level of arrogance (an Illinois thing)
-Thinking they are “hood” or “perfectly capable” of living in a city

Notes:
-They 100% all come from money
-They will say they are “broke” while driving their daddy’s brand new Mercedes
-100% guaranteed to say they’re “basically from Chicago”
-Is a diverse culture ethnic-wise
-While they do have some level of street smarts, they are often ill-suited to live in the real Chi or Nap

Ay bby girl where u from?

-“I’m from the Region”

Wth is the Region?

-“It’s basically Chicago”

Looks like cornfields on the map to me bby girl

“No it’s only 30 min from Chicago, which is honestly so much better than Indy”

Hoe I aint even ask you

Region Rock

A style of Punk music based in the southeast United States including but not limited to Chattanooga, TN; Asheville, NC; Huntsville, AL; Miami and parts of north Florida; Dalton, GA; and areas of Mississippi, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Virginia. It is characteristically tough, melodic, and catchy, but based more on geography and community than a particular sound.

Future Virgins, Rice Harvester, The Grumpies, Forced Vengeance, Twat Sauce, and Queerwulf are just a few examples of bands based in the southeast US who create the uniquely raw, emotive and melodic style of DIY Punk Rock known as Region Rock.
