normie
Mainstream taste-haver
A normie is someone perceived as boringly conventional—a person with mainstream tastes, typical social habits, and no niche interests or subcultural affiliations.
The term originated in online communities where enthusiasts of anime, gaming, or internet culture distinguish themselves from the uninitiated masses: Normies wouldn't get this meme.
Often mildly disparaging, though sometimes self-aware or ironic.
