This reminds me of how “emo” is essentially the same as it was back when I was in high school. Everyone still wears black and rainbow, band tees, skulls, and listens to post-hardcore. Many examples of this: juggalos, metalheads, certain religious groups.

I feel like all the cultural fetishes of Normie culture are Wylie Coyote walking on air past the cliff. More people watched the League of Legends championships than the NBA Finals and World Series combined.

Normies are (by definition?) the best adapters in a stable state though, they always take the path of least resistance professionally and culturally

I'd assert, without any evidence but in my usual unlikable and overconfident way, that normies are the people disproportionately likely to be drowning in credit card debt, drinking soda, and eating McNuggets.

Normies aren't adjusting to technological or social change very well at all. The vast majority of people are terrified, regardless of their politics. I think very few are really adapting well, mainly just the smart & highly privileged, for whom change is mostly non-threatening.
