Local scenes are the communities that form around shared interests in specific geographic areas—music scenes, art scenes, comedy scenes.
The term emphasizes grassroots activity distinct from mainstream or national culture: The local scene here is really supportive of new bands.
Someone plugged into local scenes knows the venues, the regulars, and the unwritten rules of participation.
