Stop Judging People for Enjoying ‘Basic’ Things

Let’s face it: some individuals, often perched on their proverbial high horses, love to look down on those they label as “basic.” They seem to think that being unique or unconventional is the only way to be seen as cool, dismissing simple pleasures as, well, just simple. But here’s the scoop: embracing the basic can bring joy and comfort. So let’s chill out and stop knocking our basic delights.

The term “basic” has morphed into a way to evaluate someone’s personality or lifestyle choices. But let’s be real: if you’re scoffing at what makes others happy, that’s more a reflection of you than it is of them. So how about we refrain from being rude?

For example, if your friends relish a bottomless brunch, crank up holiday music on November 1st, or indulge in pumpkin spice lattes for most of the year, let them enjoy it! There are those who inexplicably see these simple joys as a flaw, often saying, “You’re so basic” with a sneer. But the truth is, basic folks aren’t bothered by such judgments; they’ll happily spend that five bucks on a PSL without a care.

Many believe that loving chain restaurants is a telltale sign of being basic. Sure, they may not offer Michelin-star meals, but there’s something comforting about predictability—endless breadsticks and salad can be a delight!

As summer fades into fall, prepare yourself for the pumpkin spice invasion. From September to November, it’s a battleground of opinions, with some extolling the virtues of pumpkin spice while others complain about it. But if you think it tastes artificial, enjoy your plain latte and let us revel in our PSL and pumpkin muffins. Seriously, no one is seeking your approval.

When you see friends enjoying themselves at a pumpkin patch or apple orchard, you can simply scroll past. There’s no need for a passive-aggressive Facebook post about how irritating apple picking is. Why derive satisfaction from belittling something that brings joy to so many? The world can be tough; why not embrace what makes us happy?

Once fall transitions into winter, a new wave of basicness emerges. After pumpkin season, it’s time for red cup season. Many folks bemoan the early onset of the holiday spirit, often right after Halloween. But why does it matter to you what others do? If your neighbor, like Lucy, decorates her home on November 1st, how does that affect you? Spoiler: it doesn’t. Perhaps you should try to share in some of her joy.

I’ve seen friends itching to set up their Christmas trees almost immediately after Halloween. And why not? Prolonging the holiday cheer makes sense, especially when the world can feel like a mess. People deserve happiness wherever they can find it.

I used to be one of those people who grumbled about early holiday celebrations. But now, at precisely 12:05 a.m. on November 1st, I was curating my holiday playlist. Why? Because it genuinely brings me joy.

This is the essence of being basic: it’s about finding happiness in simple, mainstream things. It’s not about being unoriginal; it’s about embracing what brings us joy. Remember, those who enjoy “basic” things are just living their lives without guilt, while it’s often the critics who seem to have the biggest issue.

So go ahead and let us enjoy our holiday tunes, pumpkin spice lattes, and endless fries in peace.
