Have you ever walked into a Forever 21 and seen someone holding a Starbucks or Dutch Bros cup? You have probably classed them as a "basic." In recent years, being a basic has been used as a derogative term, and I have even caught myself trying to stay away from this group of people. But you know what? I have embraced my basic. I will go out to Dutch at 12:00 AM, with no regrets the day after, except for my wallet. But nevermind that, to be a basic you need the right tunes to get you through your day, and these are the twenty-one songs you need to truly be basic!

1. "I Would Do Anything For You" - Foster the People

Yes, the people that wrote "Pumped Up Kicks" have another great song!

2. "Cough Syrup" - Young the Giant

Shopping for UGGs has never been easier with this song playing in the store.

3. "Elevate" - St. Lucia

This song needs to be played while you're having your bonfire on the beach.
