Where did the term basic come from?
According to Green’s Dictionary of Slang,
basic emerges asslang for someone or something
as being “unexciting, unexceptional, or uneventful” in the 1970s.
This is an outgrowth ofthe negative sense
of basic as “plain and simple”
The slang especially stuck to women.
In their 1984 song “Meeting in the Ladies Room,”
the R&B girl group Klymaxx call a woman
basic for making moves on another’s boyfriend.
The 2000s saw the rise of the term basic b*tch,
or a woman who isuninteresting and mainstream
in her tastes, interests, style, or personality.
Comedian Lil Duval had a 2009 video about the basic b*tch.
The 2011 song “Gucci Gucci” by Kreayshawn features the hook:
“And we stunting like / Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada
/ Basic b*tches wear that shit so I don’t even bother.”
Basic has since become associated
with unlikeable, predictable, and ordinary things,
especially associated with young white women.
