What defines a "basic bitch" and what is unique about this stereotype?

My own understanding is that the stereotype has been defined vaguely enough to encompass most, if not all, women; or some, if not most, aspects about any woman. Why, isn't nearly every woman, person in fact, going to do or be into at least few of the things that BB-haters across the web have described as "signs you are a basic bitch" or "signs your girlfriend is a basic bitch"? The Starbucks Pumpkin Latte or yoga (pants) or over-pop, trite pop-music (John Mayer, Maroon 5, Linkin' Park, Coldplay, too, perhaps?) or

The Starbucks Pumpkin Latte or yoga (pants) or over-pop, trite pop-music (John Mayer, Maroon 5, Linkin' Park, Coldplay, too, perhaps?) or selfies or Instagram or hackneyed motivational-quotes or tabloids or Fifty Shades or Prada... something, y'know?
The stereotype also seems to imply that this girly girl born with a silver spoon in her honey-filled mouth lacks depth and, of course, originality. That a woman could be all of the above and yet more—and many are—is a fact it seems to have conveniently ignored. It's always cool to hate on the rich kids, after all. I wonder if Lorde came up with this thing?
What I find worth noting here is that of a zillion things that the stereotype seems to imply BBs are, pretense just simply is not one. The "basic bitch", so to say, seems to really just be doing her own thing in her own way, least concerned that there is a bunch of well-read, erudite folks sitting and judging her for not dunking in the sadness that the dark, imperfect, onerous, ugly, unfair worldly life embodies. This, to me, is the only thing that separates the Basic Bitch stereotype from the good ol' "dumb girly girl" one—that there is a very positive way to view this woman, if one tries to think beyond the diagnosis given by all these self-proclaimed psychoanalysts.
Stereotypes are always lame. I have nothing special against this one either, except that the usage of the word "bitch" for the said archetype is highly misplaced, unnecessary, and inappropriate. The male-equivalent for "Basic Bitch" that I have found is "Basic Bros", which is nowhere as profane and is in fact a hundred times cooler—which kinda reinforces the evergreen slut-shaming, bro-faming bias. I do not mind the "Basic" stereotype as much—it's one of those locutions from popular-culture that one could use in a casual conversation to describe someone specific with a single word; criticism of vain, ignorant, insipid people is pretty common, after all, especially among the cultural haut monde and literary wiseacres. But the odd juxtaposition that you accurately describe as "jarring" adds a palpable misogynistic element to it which, to me, is only indicative that the stereotype is an(other) attempt to put together some of the existing biases and prejudices against women into a single cocktail, additionally garnished with elitism so anybody with the taste for it can raise a toast to their own superiority.

The “basic bitch” phenomenon has been talked about a lot lately. Many have attributed the new (ish), co-opted use of the term to class anxiety, and just as many people think we are over-analyzing the term too much, and that in-and-of-itself is “basic.” And while I enjoyed reading several different posts
about the “basic bitch,” I find the most compelling resistance against this newly appropriated, overused and co-opted term to be found in just not believing in, supporting or participating in summing up women by what type of coffee or boots they like. Because in spite of all the healing

about the “basic bitch,” I find the most compelling resistance against this newly appropriated, overused and co-opted term to be found in just not believing in, supporting or participating in summing up women by what type of coffee or boots they like. Because in spite of all the healing, movement and progress we’ve made as female allies, we’re still falling into a game of differentiating between which women matter and which women don’t, based exclusively on topical observations and aesthetic choices.
A few weeks ago, the Internet horrifically proved how insipid and off-balance our opinions regarding women really are when Renee Zellwegger attended an event looking different. And while some took the opportunity to point out why it wasn’t any of our business, others voiced their cowardly and ignorant opinions with attacks on her worth and character, despite having a massively successful career. These controversies imply, once again, that we think we own women’s interests, we own their faces, we own their opinions and we own their bodies. Again, we find ourselves in a position of disempowerment because the system continually creates impossible landscapes and environments for women to exist within.
With a quick Google search you can find out if you are a “basic bitch.” And if you’re a dude, and you’re concerned your girlfriend isn’t exotic or cool enough (and are a jerk, who, let’s face it, is lucky to be dating anyone at all), you too can take a quiz to see if she is a “basic bitch.” And while it’s up to a rando quiz technology to decide whether you’re a basic bitch or not, and you might even argue that online quizzes don’t mean jack, a brief scroll through Facebook exemplifies how commonly we are using “basic bitch,” and there is nothing menial or insignificant about that. We are very literally creating and celebrating a new demeaning name for women, and perpetuating girl-on-girl bullying.

Like the OP, I found this confusing and had to ask for an explanation. It's a lame coinage, especially because there's nothing about the description that would normally go with the word bitch. The person being described is not necessarily someone who is bitchy or mean.
The sense I get is that it refers to someone girly and not too smart who is shallowly and unironically excited about pop culture, someone who hangs on too long to recent fads and doesn't seem aware that they are fading.
But the real meaning of the term seems to be, "Look at me! I'm a cool, sophisticated, ironic winner in the

So, really, the only bitch involved is the speaker, not the target.

I don't know, exactly, but you guys need to get over it! There are a lot of beautiful, yet lonely women out there who are just sitting around waiting for you to ask them out. Just because she is pretty doesn't mean she is so shallow that she only considers looks when she chooses a boyfriend. She has probably grown tired of the selfish playboy types who see her as a trophy, but that's all she seems to attract. You could be the game changer in her life, if you play your cards right.

There are definitely advantages to being an attractive female. I always got the job I wanted, and guys pushed each other out of the way to open doors for me. However, the only men who ever showed an interest in me were either egotistical womanizers or just plain crazy. I am not super gorgeous, either, just pretty enough to scare away the nice guys.
To all of you guys who think she's out of your league:
Start by talking to her, that's all you really need to do at first. Make a point of saying hello to her when you see her, then ask her about herself and give her a chance to talk. Listen to her when she is speaking, and for God's sake don't stare at her chest. Remember what she tells you and ask her about it later.
BOND with her. Find something you have in common with her and use it to strengthen your relationship. Take her seriously and respect her as a person, but let her know that you think she's beautiful, too.
Avoid the friend zone! I can't tell you how many guys have made this mistake with me. Don't act all platonic for months, gain her trust, act like her best friend, and then spring it on her that you want to “take it to the next level.” Make your move before she puts you in the “life long friends” category, because you won't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting in there once that happens.
Just because she is beautiful, doesn't mean that she has had a bunch of wonderful, handsome, boyfriends that she is going to compare you to. Be confident and up front with her about your intentions. Let her know that you are the one who will be there for her.
If she rejects you at first, don't give up!!! It's just her standard response and nothing personal. She is testing your reactiveness and your sincerity. Don't be creepy or stalk her, but don't get all angry and disappear, either. Remain comfortable and confident and let her know that you will still be there for her should she change her mind.
Find out what her goals are, and where her passion lies. Do your homework and learn about whatever it is that she's into so you can talk to her about it without sounding like you are full of sh*t. If she's a musician or an artist, be moved by her creativity, and in awe of her talent, and you will be cooking her breakfast in no time at all.
Man up, guys! Stop writing those depressing posts about how you don't have a girlfriend. That beautiful lady you have been crushing on can't fall in love with you if you never speak to her.
I heard that girls go on their phones when they walk past an unattractive guy. Is this true?
Why does it seem like most girls/women enjoy calling themselves "bitches"? Is "bitch" now an empowering term?
Do people still say "son of a bitch"?
What makes you say to yourself "that person is a bitch"?
It really depends upon the context and who you ask.
For instance some people believe that women should reclaim the word "bitch" the same way that some want to reclaim the word "slut". If we can use it towards ourselves or with friends it becomes a term of endearment rather than an insult.
For instance a lot of my friends refer to ourselves and each other as "bitch". "Hey bitch", "I'm a classy bitch" "I'm Queen bitch", etc. It's said in a positive way, not a negative one.

The term "basic bitch" is used to describe girls that are considered to fall into certain stereotypes like loving Starbucks, ugg boots, pumpkin spice lattes, cute cat videos and Instagram and actually seemed to evolve from the "stereotypical white girl" theme to just spread out and describe a lot of different women.
I have to say I usually only see it used by girls to describe themselves which seems at least to me, consistent with my generation's tendency to see "bitch" as a positive statement, as opposed to older generations who consider it, sexist or derogatory.
I've never had a problem with the term "basic bitch" though I can see how some people would feel it's sexist so I decided to see what feminists think of the term
First, the feminist in me cringes at the thought of women colloquially being referred to as bitches, for a variety of reasons that include female empowerment and gender equality and the like.
Yeah, again so it seems to come down to disliking the word bitch, which you know, is fine, it's a difference of opinion.
The shift from being complimented to being condoned to being condemned for doing what is popular has been a rapid but hypocritical one. Activities that young women were so recently expected to enjoy are now being deemed too shared and regular and they suddenly need to be hounded for it for reasons unknown.
This article took a completely different approach, saying the term has been changed from its original meaning (as was established in the song Gucci Gucci according to the author)
I read another article claiming it is sexist but I find the argument falls flat
These two activities have become so ingrained in young people, that it seems like there hasn’t been a get-to-know-you activity where I haven’t heard someone call them their hobbies. “I’m so basic,” they’ll say. “I’m a basic bitch.” They’ll giggle knowingly and indulge in their 15 seconds of self-deprecation. Wow, so brave.
The author then goes on to make this comparison
It reminds me of people who make racist comments, but preface them with, “Listen, I’m not a racist, but —”
I'm sorry but look, in no way would I say that a person using self-depreciating humor describing their activities as basic the same as approaching another person of a different race and making a horrible racist statement to their face. The harm being done isn't the same anymore than a girl calling herself a bitch has the same affect as a girl being bullied for being a bitch. They're two different interactions with far different impacts.
So if you're looking for a feminist standpoint the jury seems to think that yes, the term is sexist though the justification ranges quite a bit.
If you wanted my opinion then, eh. I see it used more by people describing themselves than by people hurling it at others. I don't think I'd lose any sleep at night if someone called me a basic bitch and have never seen the term as oppressive or holding any real power. But some people do and maybe have had different experiences than I have with it. But to me it's a non-issue. There's much more pressing matters of concern that affect women than a trending hashtag and some YouTube videos.
Buzzfeed did an analysis of the term "basic bitch" to figure out what it meant and whether or not it was a bad thing.
Why are some women mean to the guys they like?
When I think really long and hard about it, these are some reasons I think I sometimes put up a low key “mean” front around a guy I like:
When I think really long and hard about it, these are some reasons I think I sometimes put up a low key “mean” front around a guy I like:
I also think a part of the “mean” front has to do with testing his reaction because the way he responds can be very showing of his character and his level of interest in me. I’d like to think I’m more playful than mean. When I look back at old relationships, I can’t help but realize I do this a lot in the beginning of a relationship without even realizing it. Maybe it’s to see how seriously committed he is to seeing this through. Sometimes I really don’t know why I do the things that I do. #imonlyhuman

They boast about seasons changing and the activities that come along with them, like making smores on a campfire in summer, or going to the beach. Apple picking, pumpkin carving, and wearing sweaters in the fall. Things like this need to be photogenic enough to document of social media though.
They also claim to hate drama in relationships, but are usually responsible for starting it. And they pretend to like other girls, but actually see them more as competition.
What is it like to be a basic bitch?
I’m often chastised by my friends for being the most basic-est of basics.
I drink pumpkin spiced lattes, have a high rise apartment with a “rustic chic” decor with flashy notes of gold and silver surrounded by fur lined and cowhide furniture, I have 2 rescue dogs, and I travel the world alone when I damn near feel like it.
I decorate my place with fresh flowers, have a record player connected to a Bose speaker, wear Uggs with mini skirts, and have more throw pillows than I do regular ones.
The Notebook is my favorite movie, I do brunch on Sundays with my girlfriends where all we do is talk about
