massives

Huge mountain blocks

Massives is primarily British slang for one's social group, crew, or community of supporters—especially in music and club culture: Big up to the London massives!

The term gained currency through reggae, dancehall, and drum and bass scenes, where DJs shout out to their massives.

It can also be the standard plural of massive when used as a noun for large groups or formations.
