My country defines terrorism as follows:
"""
A terrorist act is an act or a threat to commit an act that is done with the intention of advancing a
political, religious or ideological cause and intimidating the public or coercing or influencing the
government by intimidation; and
1. Causes death or serious harm or endangers life
2. Causes serious damage to property
3. Creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or
4. Seriously interferes with, seriously disrupts or destroys critical infrastructure such as a
telecommunications or electricity network
"""
I would assume the USA definition is broadly similar.
It doesn't need to be al-Qaida or ISIS running about to be a terror attack, sabotaging the power grid to shut down a drag show would clearly fit the definition.
