Basic
意味: A person who follows mainstream trends without originality — predictable and uninteresting.
'Basic' became a cultural phenomenon in the 2010s, originally used to describe someone (often a woman) who conforms to mainstream trends — pumpkin spice lattes, Ugg boots, popular music. While it started as genuine criticism, it has become somewhat self-aware and tongue-in-cheek, with many people jokingly calling themselves 'basic' when they enjoy popular things.
