Buffer beer

A lighter, cheaper, lower alcohol content beer consumed in between “real beers” to allow for a longer period of “responsible” drinking.

Wow! I’m really feeling that last Stout big time! I think I need a Buffer beer like a Coor’s light so I don’t get wrecked too early.

Arnold: Not yet; I've got quite a few books queued up at the moment, but if it's as good as you say, maybe it can skip the book buffer.

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.
