Refers to a raw, grimey, industrial area suitable for BMX sessions and are most common in Dirty Jersey(Northeast) and NYC. Most people view this habitat as nothing more than an eye-sore or detritus. Overwhelmed by fear and disgust, most riders wouldn't dare pass the visible "No Trespassing" signs. TeamPiFF members are often found lurking in the darkest of alleys and dungeons with no visible signs of resent or phobias.

a Detroit original: the stripmall infested corporate diamond mines, geographically located just outside of the city boundaries, otherwise known as the SUBURBS. The first part of name describes the area's contributions to it's parental city's resources. The second part of the word is just ironic. Also the home of the WASTE-OID.
We drove through miles of wastelands on our journey to the city, stopping only once for a burger named mac and a biggie fry.

A Detroit original: any strip mall infested suburban community that sits directly outside of the city limits, but for some reason still considers itself part of the city, despite its obvious geographic, architectural, social, and cultural differences.
She lives in the wastelands to avoid paying city taxes, and drives in every weekend, doors locked, to go to the club.

A wastelander is a term used for anyone living on the US(rather Canadian) territory, inspired by a post-apocalyptic game series, Fallout. According to those games, after a nuclear war current US territory would be a wasted land with no trees or pure water, inhabited by ghouls, mutants and chinks.
—Why hello there wastelander, whatcha doin in our neck of the... well, what do you want?
—Hello my canuck friend. I was searching for a tree, a green one, for my studies. Do you have trees in your lands?

Spending time doing pointless bullshit or being otherwise unproductive. Wastelanding is usually an enjoyable activity (such as watching TV or playing video games) but ultimately a complete waste of time and of existence. Also known as "wasting away".
