50 signs that you're basic AF

First, for those not in the know, what exactly does it mean to be basic?

Well, back in the 80’s the popular term used during that era for women was “airhead.” Betcha know what that means, right? Well, just move on up to this decade and you have the basic bitch instead. This term originates in hip-hop and rap, and refers to middle-class females—often white—who are obsessed with mainstream trends, products, movies, music, and more.

Here are 50 indicators that you might be basic AF.

1. Pumpkin Spice

You go crazy for the pumpkin spice craze. And there are a whole lot of products to choose from. Lattes, beer, even Baileys.

2. Cat eyeliner

You are on a mission to create the perfect eyeliner wings. You’ve watched endless YouTube videos and follow the correct Instagram #.

3. Frozen yogurt
