Normies

"Normies" is a colloquial term often used to describe mainstream individuals who are not heavily involved in niche subcultures, particularly within online communities. These individuals typically embrace more conventional interests, lifestyles, and trends, contrasting with enthusiasts or "geeks" who might engage deeply in specialized topics like gaming, comic books, or internet memes. The term can sometimes carry a pejorative connotation, implying that normies are out of touch with certain alternative or countercultural movements. However, it mainly highlights the differences between mainstream culture and more specialized, often more passionate subcultures.
