[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have said this and mean it as an insult. To me it's someone who follows trends but can't even be bothered to identity my the trends that speak to them personally, or to keep up with the latest trends. Instead a basic person will just adopt the most accessible trends from like 2 years ago and then make them their whole personality.

So like today it would be wearing prairie dresses, wearing hair long and wavy (ideally battled with those heatless rollers), carrying a Stanley cup, and referring to everything as an era (this is my baking on a Saturday night era, this is my making a big deal out if my birthday era).

It's like someone whose persona has been focus grouped by Instagram influencers from Utah.

Very few people are truly basic. It requires a very specific level of insecurity and lack of creativity, usually convinced with plenty of disposable income and too much time in her hands.[/quote]

I think you are unintentionally making the point that women who refer to other women as basic are just projecting their own insecurities onto those women.

I’m boring and basic.  I like what I like.  Which is what the majority of people like in most cases, because I don’t kid myself that I am a unique, special snowflake.  If I am just catching up with the trends from two years ago but think prairie dresses look nice I’ll wear them.  I don’t care if it’s not trendy now.

People like you, ironically, make NOT following mainstream trends your whole personality.  If it wasn’t so important to you that you’re NOT basic you wouldn’t notice or care enough about what other women do or like to insult them for it.[/quote]
