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.

A: Gee! Sarah gets so much attention at the cons she goes to because of her amazing cosplay skills! I wish I were like her T_T
B: You're such a nu-normie....
John has been trying to pick up girls at cons for the last 5 years now. He tries to impress them with his cool Rorschach merch. What a nu-normie
Huh? A Halloween party? Time to get into a drunken orgy while wearing my favorite Avatar: The Last Airbender cosplay. Being a nu-normie is lit!

Get the Nu-normiemug. When you search your memory but no how hard you try simply cannot remember what TV you watched the night before. Often a feature of pandemic mind, leaving sufferers with a sick feeling that their lives are wasting away in an endless succession of Netflix/Prime/Hulu/HBO Max binges.
I know I was up late cranking on some series last night, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
Bruh you got a bad case of deja nu?
What'd we watch last night, bae?
Deja nu much?

Get the deja nu?mug. Nu-Metal (also called neo-metal, aggro-rock) is a subgenre of heavy metal. It evolved from alternative metal and eventually became it's own subgenre in the mid to late 90s. It includes many artists such as Korn, Slipknot and Disturbed in their first work, The Sickness (although, David Draiman has stated in an interview he felt it sounded more like reggae metal, similar to Skindred.) and lesser known bands such as Coal Chamber, Flaw and Sevendust. The genre itself receives unwarranted and unneeded bashing and criticism from say, thrashers and brutal death metalers, and then again from whiny teen fags that listen to one direction or whatever. They seem to forget that these artists were pioneers that came up with a new musical genre. What have your artists done? Recreated something done how many times? Nu-Metal is an excellent example of vocal and instrumental talent (excluding fred durst. He has no perceivable talent of which to speak, coming from a true nu-metal fan.) Its quite fun to listen to and it doesn't deserve the bashing and wrinkling of noses whenever its name is mentioned. I can guarantee that when you were you an angsty teen, you had a korn poster in your bedroom, or a copy of the slipknot debut in your room. The whole musical world respect Korn For ushering in a completely new genre, me personally, I think that that's worth something.
Gary: Did you listen to the korn self titled?
Sean: Yeah! I was headbangin in my sleep! Perfect example of nu-metal gone right!
Gary: don't listen to limp bizkit, they'll turn you right off of it. fred fuckin durst...
Sean: what a fuckin douchebag..

Get the Nu Missaymug. A genre of music that is rejected by metal elitists and is labeled "poser metal" or "mallcore". Even though a lot of the bands in this genre are terrible, a couple bands like static x or slipknot are decent.

Get the Nu Metalmug. Whoever thinks they can make a new kind of metal, is wrong, Metal is defined AND ALIVE! Nu metal shouldn't even have the "METAL" tag on it, it's got NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with REAL METAL (ie. Pantera, Sepultura, 80' Metallica, Iron Maiden, Stratovarius, et cetera...!) There's a lot of NEW (I mean NEW, RECENT) True Metal band out there, which are worth intelligent people's attention; examples are: Children of Bodom, God Forbid, Norther, Youthquake, Fprce of Evil, etc.
Out with Nu Metal - it's abou money, true Metal is about music, having a good wine, fucking nice women, fun and having a laugh!
Nu Metal is for depressed teenagers and goth wannabes!

Get the nu metalmug. Music invented by crack-snorting wheeler-dealers and bored kids from the suburbs with no musical taste.
Usually involes too many turntables and not a lot of talent.
Also much whining and poserish head-banging is necessary.
