A person with interests that were classically considered 'weird' or 'niche' by most people in the past decades but are becoming increasingly mainstream, such as games, anime, manga, board games, comics and cosplay.
A nu-normie exhibits most of the personality traits of a regular normie, such as conformism / herd mentality, blandness of character, mediocrity, etc. The main difference that justifies the usage of the term as opposed to that of a regular normie is the outlet they use to express themselves. Instead of conforming to classical stereotypes they attempt to conform to the ever-expanding otaku / gamer culture by using their 'interests' and 'hobbies' as a staple of feigned originality and as a means to appeal to the otaku / gamer demographic, with the end goal of becoming more popular and establishing social connections. The process isn't always conscious.
The games / anime / comics etc. they enjoy are based off of common trends and not off their personal subjective enjoyment of the specified media. The typical behavior of a nu-normie includes sharing posts connected to popular memes on social media, listening to hipster genres like vaporwave, praising Filthy Frank / Joji as 'the God of the Internet', playing MOBAs and spending hundreds of dollars on merchandise at conventions. They also exhibit at least average social skills, something in clear defiance of the classical 'nerd' stereotype that used to be associated with the aforementioned otaku culture until recently.

A: Gee, look at Sarah! She's been getting so much attention from all these weebs at the conventions she goes to, all because of her obscene cosplays! Wish I were as good as her at cosplay T_T
B: You're such a nu-normie sometimes...
John has been trying to pick up girls at comic-con for the last 5 years, to no avail. He's trying to impress them with his cool Rorschach merch. He's such a nu-normie.
Oh, dang! A Halloween party? Can't wait to have a drunken orgy while wearing my favorite Avatar: The Last Airbender cosplay. Being a nu-normie has its upsides!

Get the Trolling Normiemug. Someone (who is) whose actions are de facto psychopathic/lacking general empathy, but de jure (they are) their actions are considered normal/accepted enough. In other words: de facto they are doing bad things to people (or participating or accomplices in doing), but since the majority (or their local majority) is ok with the targets and the intensity of the bad (and maybe cheering/enabling them) - it's normalized, everyone moves on after this just fine, being used to no accountability.
Same as a tribal psychopath - an umbrella term for abusers (likes witch hunting, bullying, abuse, sadism, marginalization), murderers, but are social or adhering to "the rules of engagement" - working within tribal sets of rules.
Uses schizo logic to justify it - as in whatever in-group fallacies, fantasies, expectations (beyond basic decency), biases, also often feelings-based reasoning.
Usually targets (or joins in on targeting) men, as it's easier to get away with - since women are a 'protected class' and simps already have biased empathy; existing biases against men make it easier to find a cultural moral superiority point and to 'rally the gang' for abuse.

Coliseum visitors; inquisition; mob mentality; labeling; summary executions; genocides; our soldiers are heroes theirs - are evil; wearing a uniform makes a person a legal to murder target or makes their kills acceptable; forced slavery; thinking that Roman empire wasn't a fascist hellhole; certain groups of people deserve to be abused or executed for existing; thinking that karma is a thing; or being a pet owner, believing that they're having "empathy" for animals and it somehow justifies something against humans; and other control freaks, lacking general empathy - are all examples of normie psychopaths.

Get the Normie psychopathmug. A person whose interests were classically considered 'weird' or 'niche' until recently but have become increasingly more mainstream over the last decade, including video games, anime, manga, comics and cosplay.
Nu-normies exhibit personality traits often associated with regular normies, such as conformism, blandness, hopping on bandwagons etc. The main distinction between regular normies and nu-normies is the outlet they use to express themselves. Instead of trying to conform to classical stereotypes, nu-normies attempt to fit in within the otaku / gamer culture, with the end goal of becoming more popular. Not necessarily a conscious process. Their interests are based on trends instead of a subjective enjoyment of the media.
Typical nu-normie behaviors include going to Comic-Con, spending hundreds of dollars on merchandise, sharing popular memes on social media, praising Joji / Filthy Frank as 'God of the Internet' and listening to hipster genres like vaprowave. They also tend to have at least average social skills, something in direct defiance to the 'nerd' stereotype which used to be associated with the aforementioned media.

Get the Nu-normiemug. 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.
