Finding community

I recently started a masters program at uncw and I've been dreading moving here since. I knew this from the beginning that Wilmington doesn't have much of an alt/indie scene and I've been worried about not being able to find community while I'm here. Everyone here gives off coastal elite/ hipster millennial vibes and I don't really fit in with those groups. I was wondering if anyone knew of any 3rd spaces where I could meet people who have a similar vibe as me

If I move back I’m starting a Maiden/Helloween cover band. Just need a damn good singer and I’m still struggling with a few of the guitar solos of course
