Around 2009, I felt pushed out of the nerd and goth scene once I became "pretty". My only friends growing up were boys I had known since grade school because we liked the same stuff: anime and video games. Goth in high school in an area where blonde, white and tan still reigns supreme as the beauty standard to this day while I'm just a hapa. My childhood also wasn't that great Mom with unchecked borderline personality disorder who would physically and mentally abuse me and estranged me from my father and his side of the family and only became somewhat remorseful of it this past May when he unexpectedly passed away at only 45. When you're so far into your depression or myriad of other disorders those innocent things seem evil. When I browsed /r9k/ years ago I saw people insisting that deodorant, makeup, and self esteem were normie concepts. That probably isn't the most satisfying answer but that is how I see it. The definition seems to vary from person to person, frankly.
Sorry for how stupid this question is, I find it interesting. Point is, I'd like a discussion or a clear definition over what that actually is or if it even exists. I have severe ADHD, is that "normie" or not? I don't like K pop, i drink a lot and I smoke from time to time, I grew up in forced isolation, idk what else to add. I've used forums my whole life and I am in a STEM major, but I definitely don't look nerdy I'd say, though I'm aware of J fashion (but don't dress in any subcultures) and sometimes keep up with that drama online. Is it meant to mean someone who isn't very integrated into internet culture? Does it mean someone who isn't a NEET? Is it meant to mean someone who isn't into Japanese culture, or someone who was not abused as a child? for girls does it mean someone who's not a virgin? I always wonder because irl I've had people that don't believe me when I say I watch anime because I "don't seem/look like the type" and I'm guessing what they're really trying to say is that I appear to be a normie. What is the actual definition of a normie? I keep on seeing that term thrown around in a derogatory way.
