The act of deconstructing fashion by purposely dressing blank or dull. What once started as a post-ironic anti-fashion, "purposely uncool" trend by hipsters in an attempt to pull away from the subculture fashion that were becoming commercialized and popular, norm core is quickly becoming a legitimate fashion trend. Characterized by boxy, unflattering jean jackets, oversized sweatshirts, gift shop baseball hats. Anything that looks like it might be featured in a Calvin Klein from 1998, or anything you'd wear around the house on laundry day.
Me: Since when did everyone start dressing like Jerry Seinfeld? Not just the hipsters, either. Forever 21 is selling these horribly patterned oversized sweatshirts that look like stock left over from 2001. What's going on?
Friend: lol, normcore. Embrace it.

Get the Normcore mug.Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility
Basically where anyone who lives in Hood River, Wasco or Sheridan counties in Oregon will end up if they stay in the area for more than two weeks. Cuz otherwise you'll wind up becoming a shit-smoking two-weaker and find your pasty-white, oregonian ass in one of their anything-but-state-of-the-art holding cells sporting a poorly-fitting orange jumpsuit and crocs. But if you're reading this you likely have already "booked" a night with them or know someone who has.
Located in The (dirty) Dalles, Oregon. This correctional facility excels in creating very loyal guests - as over 90% of their tenants enjoy their stay with NORCOR so much they come back time and again. Privately owned by the 3 counties judges, it's no surprise this jail is always fully booked with over 112 inmates being held at any given time. But when it comes to actually correcting anything in the area, NORCOR does the exact opposite.

The Local Government: "You can't truly appreciate the Columbia River Gorge without booking a night at NORCOR - the local county jail! experience our unbeatable $27 a night rates, fully unfurnished, confining, windowless "suites" complete with luxurious single granite slabs and stylish, what-might-pass-as mattresses. You'll love our complimentary room service and extensive menu of what-might-pass-as-food and something that looks like water. Our staff of officers will ignore all of your needs, deny your basic rights and do all they can to reinforce your lack of self-worth. During your stay at NORCOR you can kick-back and relax while shitting in front of random strangers, enjoy the soothing sounds of the mentally ill screaming til dawn, and make great new friends who can help you cope with your incarceration on the outside with more of the shit that got you booked here in the first place! We'll even follow up with you for years to come and fail to provide any means of getting you back on your feet enough to pay your bill. We provide everything you need to turn your normal, manageable life into a spiraling vortex of mental illness, financial insecurity, drug use, unemployment and repeat offenses just to keep this corrupt town's government happily funded and you in our system.
NORCOR - we'll leave the light on for you....all night long.

Get the norcor mug.A subculture based on conscious, artificial adoption of things that are in widespread use, proven to be acceptable, or otherwise inoffensive. Ultra-conformists.
First featured as a fictional population in the webcomic Templar, Arizona, but normcores are totally real.

Oh, shee-it! You just got gang signed by the worst of 'em! Y'see the slight forward tilt of the chin, and the causal "hey" with the silent H? That means he's NORMCORE. Dangerously regular. Dresses only in T-shirts and jeans, uses slang appropriated from other subcultures, but only 3 years after its first use, an' only after it's been used in a sitcom."

Get the normcore mug.Just as "normcore" is the desire to fit in and/or not stand out fashionably, "nomcore" is a way of eating that does not distinguish one's self from mainstream food.

Get the Nomcore mug.synonymous with cool
It's like parkour but for people that aren't assholes. Normcore is an exercise in irony. it's being cool through not being cool. it's an existential statement about value: that everything is valueless, and that's what gives it its value. because we're only yolo'ing once. so you might as well yolo in comfortable, non-descript clothes that mirror the reality of your both existing and not existing in the flux. Once you achieve nothingness and being simultaneously, you reach nirvana which a religious term for one big long orgasm. If you want to have one big long orgasm, come with me.

Did you see that hot chick walking around in those sweat pants and bedsex hair? She's so fucking normcore. She don't take no shit from nobody. And she don't give no shit to nobody.
