If there’s one thing we know for sure about Instagram, it’s that many people use it to gain a ton of attention. Since the very start of the Instagram craze on social media, people have used it to take photos, gain validation, and essentially boost their own ego (sorry, not sorry, it’s true!)
If you scroll through Instagram, you’ll see tons of people wearing similar things, posing similar ways — some of us might call it “basic.” Well, now, guys online are trolling all those “basic Instagram influencers” by copying their posts. It’s too funny not to share!
“Self-Care Sunday” is always a big flex.
Girls love to show everyone they’re taking bubble baths and “self-caring” for themselves, but, they have to do it topless and actually in the tub (sometimes even naked!)
That’s definitely not how you work out.
Fitness models on Instagram love to show that backside on the ‘gram. No matter if it’s bicep day, they have to flex those leggings right in the camera’s face.
I bet there are no unanswered texts on your phone in real life.
Girls pretend that they’re ignoring everyone on vacation or swimming, but in reality, they’re waiting by their phone and answering every single text message. We know they are.
Every girl has to show their followers that they “eat” from time to time.
Girls love to act like they don’t eat, but in reality, they want to veg out and have three burgers just like everyone else. Embrace it! Eat up!
What’s with the “might delete later” trend?
It seems like girls want to post selfies and pictures but tell everyone they “might delete it later.” I’m not sure what the deal is with that trend but it’s pretty basic.
They love to go topless.
Basic girls love to go topless and showcase that backside on a porch in some tropical location. It happens literally every time a girl goes on vacation.
They also love giant pool floats, especially the flamingo.
Flamingos, pizzas, and unicorns — those are the biggest and most popular pool floats that every girl has to pose on. Bikini, champagne, pool float. It’s like a routine!
This is just so on point.
For those basic ladies that go to Coachella, this arm in arm picture is one that always ends up on the ‘gram. The hats, the shorts, the “boho pants.” It’s perfect!
Every girl loves Marilyn Monroe quotes in their captions.
Marilyn Monroe said some pretty great one-liners in her day, and every girl loves to repost it under selfies and or mirror pictures. It’s just a right of passage.
Pumpkin spice season is the most basic season of them all.
There’s just something about fall that brings out everyone’s inner basic — even for the guys. C’mon, y’all. It’s time to grab your pumpkin spice latte, a buffalo check shirt, and head down to the pumpkin patch to take pics for Instagram.
