Ryousangata

Ryousangata (量産型), meaning "mass-production type", is a Japanese slang term used in a derogatory manner to label someone as "basic bitch". As a result of constantly adopting popular fashion trends, girls who lack individuality will always dress in a similar manner to the degree that they look like if they were mass-produced in a factory.

"Although she lacks individuality, that Ryousangata girl will always look stylish because she keeps a track on current trends."
