nondescripts

Unremarkable, unmemorable people

Nondescripts are people or things lacking distinctive features—unremarkable, easily overlooked.

The word treats the adjective nondescript as a noun: The bar was full of nondescripts nursing their drinks.

It often carries a dismissive tone, suggesting someone or something too ordinary to merit description.
