Derived obviously from the Los Angeles street gang territory, a lot of Hamilton youth like to proudly align themselves with a gang that they have no idea of the politics on; now fallen into either general or comical use. "West side" refers to Hamilton West, "East side" refers to Hamilton East. You don't have to be a member of either of these.
Which reminds me, I went to a new school in Standard 4, and I remember a little 10 year old bogan coming up and asking me if I was a rapper or a 'mettler'. The concept that you could like music that wasn't rap or metal worried me.
The WestSide Connection is the 'clan' name that some [Hamilton] gamers comically use in that one of the members lives on West Ridge Drive in Western Heights.

Note: has nothing to do with being a 'westie' (aka Ewen Gilmour); westie == "west aucklander" == "bogan".
