GOORAMA!

In the past few months, “basic” has transformed from a word used to describe tired trends into a tired trend itself, essentially turning into a synonym for “a popular thing that I don’t like” for a whole new brand of hipster.

I’m sure I could come up with a deeper meaning for this piece considering I was a graduate student pursuing a liberal arts degree, but I’m not, which means you’ll have to come up with your own explanation.

I’m off to tweet “#basic” infinity times to see if I can break the machine.
