It doesn’t matter how small or how large your Instagram following is, you’re probably going to run into a few carbon copies either way. You know, “basic” accounts with pumpkin-spiced lattes, “follow me” snaps, and bottomless mimosas. There isn’t anything wrong about posting these things, but there also isn’t anything very interesting about it.
According to Urban Dictionary, the modern definitions of “basic” are divided, but not completely unrelated: – An adjective used to describe any person, place, activity involving obscenely obvious behavior, dress, action. – Used to describe someone devoid of defining characteristics that might make a person interesting, extraordinary, or just simply worth devoting time or attention to. Below, you’ll find the hilarious Instagram account **@brosbeingbasic** (co-founded by Travis May and Ashley Hesseltine) in which men can submit their own versions of #thatbasiclife. ->**Who popped it better. Kim Kardashian or this basic bro?**<-.
