I’ve been hearing about something called “Normcore.” I don’t really know what it is, but from everything I’ve heard, I don’t want to know. Given that all indications suggest that this Normcore is something potentially unpleasant, I suggest we redefine the term. We can do that, right? If enough people use a word to mean something, it eventually will come to overwhelm the original meaning. As such, let’s make Normcore mean dressing as Norm from Cheers:
I think this is actually a viable and sensible plan. When I first suggested it, someone offered dressing as Norm Macdonald as an alternative. However, I think Norm from Cheers is more of a “look” than Norm Macdonald. Plus, if we ever get sick of people doing costume homages to Norm from Cheers, we can just pretend that they’re aging white alcoholics. It works.
Frankly, this has to be better than what Normcore currently references.
