Normie

A person who is probably white, upper middle class, and goes to college and gets decent grades, more so for their study habits and ability to passively memorize and regurgitate than any actual intelligence. Views those less “successful” than them with contempt and those more so with jealousy. Watches whatever TV shows are mainstream and popular at the moment while avoiding anything too violent, offensive, or thoughtful. They have a “safe” sense of humor and probably find South Park extremely offensive but may think Family Guy is clever. Too “cultured” to listen to rap or pop music but afraid of metal, so they listen to indie rock, yet do not have the knowledge of indie rock that a hipster does. May play a few mainstream, popular video games but do not have the knowledge or skill to be considered a gamer or a nerd. A male normie may be a casual fan of sports but lacks the passion of what many would call a jock. Normies may smoke and/or drink occasionally but by no means can be considered the “life of the party”. Normies avoid expressing potentially controversial political or religious opinions and may not have any opinions at all. Painfully mediocre in every way, lacking in what many would say constitutes a personality, and devoid of hobbies or passion for anything aside from doing what they are supposed to do.

"Dude, this guy is a total normie. All he could do was ask how my day was and then talk about school and work. When we ran out of formalities he just started quoting Family Guy. No personality."

"This is such a normie party. Everyone's just talking about their day at work and everyone's too afraid to get sloppy. I said I listened to metal and got looked at like I had two heads."

"This normie girl at school said I was 'very accepting' for having friends that didn't go to college."
