A word used by delusional
people thinking they'
re part of a usually-self-proclaimed elite group because they have different tastes to describe all others. This form of self-delusion is a social phenomenon thought to have risen out of
4chan used to describe non-channers who took their
memes and made it mainstream, thus devaluing it in the "elite's" eyes and earning the "normies" their wrath and ire.
Has now evolved into a word used by any other similarly delusionally-superior groups e.
g. hipsters vs normies, gamers vs normies, atheletes vs normies, intellectuals vs normies.
4channer A: The normies have taken another rare Pepe and made it mainstream!
4channer B: Yeah fuck'em!
A: Ugh look at Susan, she is doing well in life and posting all that shit on Facebook as if anyone cares.
B: Yeah girl, who cares if she's holding a
normal job and has 2
children? What a normie.
