Normie
Conventional one, slangily
Normie is internet slang for someone with mainstream tastes and conventional interests—a person who doesn't participate in niche online communities or subcultures.
The term carries mild contempt, implying the person lacks depth or originality: Normies wouldn't get this meme.
What counts as normie varies by community; to gamers it might mean someone who only plays casual mobile games, to music fans someone who listens to Top 40.
Also spelled normy.
