Best Practices

• •Embrace "Psycho" Positively: Continue using "Psychos" as an affectionate term for your community. It’s distinctive and builds a strong in-group identity. Ensure the context always frames it as energetic, passionate, and dedicated to the SF lifestyle, not anything negative.
• •Stay Rooted in San Francisco: Consistently weave in specific San Francisco landmarks, neighborhoods (especially the Sunset), local slang (if appropriate and authentic), and cultural references. This reinforces your origin and connection.
• •Highlight Community & Collaboration: Regularly feature stories about local artists, musicians, events, and the causes you support. Use language that emphasizes "we," "us," and "together" to foster a sense of belonging.
• •Keep it Energetic & Enthusiastic: Use active voice, vibrant adjectives, and exclamation points (judiciously) to convey passion and excitement. Let the "good times" vibe shine through your words.
• •Be Authentic & Down-to-Earth: Avoid overly corporate or formal language. Stick to a conversational, approachable style that reflects your grassroots origins. Share your story and values openly.
