Basic (slang)

Basic is a word people use to describe someone or something that is kind of plain and uninspiring. It's like when you have plain vanilla ice cream instead of a fancy flavor with lots of toppings. People might use the word "basic" to describe someone who always wears the same kind of clothes or listens to the same songs that everyone else does. It's not necessarily a bad thing to be basic, but some people use it as an insult because they think it means someone is unoriginal.
