Normie Buffer 

When a cultural marker, identity, or practice of a subculture is in a buffer which then reaches the mainstream and is adopted by normies, despite their initial misunderstanding.

This typically takes 2 to 4 years although appears to be getting quicker.
Now that skinny jeans, beards, tattoos and craft beers have been through the Normie Buffer, they're no longer associated with the subcultures that normalized them.
