Normcore
-
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. -
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 youd wear around the house on laundry day.

synonymous with cool
Its like parkour but for people that arent assholes. Normcore is an exercise in irony. its being cool through not being cool. its an existential statement about value: that everything is valueless, and thats what gives it its value. because were only yoloing 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.
