What is hyper normalisation?
In: Economics
Normalisation is “getting used to stuff”. Carrying around a super-computer in your pocket didn’t used to be the norm. Now we’re used to it.
“Hyper-” just means “too much”.
When someone is talking about hyper-normalization, they’re worried about people getting used to stuff that they shouldn’t be. liiiiiiiike, swearing (my father claims drunks in bars didn’t swear when he was a kid. …How often did you hang out with drunks in bars when you were a kid dad? You were a rural farmboy!) Or politicians lying. Or bikinis. Or being sensitive about your tone. …Pretty much it’s a fancy term for old people complaining about how society is changing.
