normals like big screen tvs, gender archetypes, radio rock, are interested in cars, having babies, professional tattoos with sentimental meanings, they dont know shit about art, dont know shit about music, dont read, want to buy houses and clothes, and are worried about smelling nice. works a corporate job. goes out to 'chase pussy'. dances when bands play.
dude in flipflops wanders into a punk bar and complains that the women dont shave, erbody smells like b.o. and makes a douche of himself by being there.
"who was that bro in the orange tshirt pushing into me while the band was playing?"
"some normals"
In theory, what everyone should try to be.
Guy: I just want to be normal.
Girl: Good.
Normal is normal, new is new. New doesnt become normal, it becomes obsolete one day.
A lot of technology that was once new is now obsolete. It never became the new normal because there is no new normal. Normal is normal. Being normal and functional is most important to the people that always claim they dont care what anybody thinks in the first place. Another word for normal is plain, which is not much different than bland.
Life has always been a bit dysfunctional for most people. That hasn't changed due to the pandemic, and it's not going to change after the pandemic.
There is no such thing as normal, and there is no such thing as a new normal. Life will remain dysfunctional for most people no matter what comes their way.
There is no new normal, just like there was no normal. People were a bit dysfunctional at the best of times, and that's one of the things some are trying to take from them.
No matter what the media, the WHO, scientists, healthcare officials, or the government tells people, there never was any normal to begin with, to compare a new normal to.
