Let's define "basic" via Urban Dictionary for those who've been living under a rock:  

1. An adjective used to describe a person, place or activity involving obscenely obvious behavior, dress or action.
2. Used to describe someone devoid of defining characteristics that might make a person interesting, extraordinary, or just simply worth devoting attention to. 

Anything and everything girls seem to do these days is called out as being basic, and I mean everything. Whether it be drinking a cup of coffee, owning T-shirts 2 sizes larger than necessary, loving pumpkin flavored anything, having mad respect for a good monogram or wearing riding boots in the fall; the guidelines for falling into the basic betch category seem to be growing exponentially.  

However people often seem to forget about the basic male population, and I think it's time we took a deeper look into what I like to call the basic bro:

• Theme parties are his forte. 
• He's participated in #tbt at least five times.
• His closet is packed full of sorority shirts and he wears them to class at least 4 days a week. 
• He has many basic female friends and always pokes fun at their basic-ness.
• He secretly loves having basic female friends so he can tag along on their basic outings. *Disclaimer: he will pretend to dislike going on these outings.
• Pretends to love hunting.
• Owns (or plans to own) a large breed of dog, more specifically a lab or some type of spaniel. 
• Has "bro nights" with the guys, most likely involving poker, football and drinking heavily.
• Has #mcm a drunken/embarrassing picture of one of his friends. 
• Owns either a Yeti, hand-painted cooler or personalized flask.

• Has gone to at least 2 music festivals.
• Owns a bow tie. 
• Football is life.
• Has shopped at Goodwill for party outfits.
• His TV is turned to ESPN 69% of the time.
