It describes a kind of person who thinks they're entitled to do or say whatever they want, even if it is at the expense of others, and they think they should get away with it. They will throw tantrums when they have to follow the rules or when things don't go their way. They are willing to put their own happiness and comfort over other people's They can be of any race, religion, political ideology, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, age, or economic class.
They are typically racist, though not always. They're notorious for screaming at employees for extremely petty reasons. This often happens at grocery stores (especially those that require a face mask during a pandemic, God forbid!), restaurants, airports/airplanes, schools, the park, and so on.
If a business has a certain rule that is meant to keep customers and employees safe, they will claim that it's not fair to them and that it takes away their freedom. They go on about how much they love "freedom" but will get mad when someone else uses their freedom to do something that they personally don't like. They only want "freedom" for themselves so that they have the "right" to be a nuisance.

Person 6: "Yes, I knew about it."
Karen: "So, then why are you wearing a mask?"
Person 6: "Because I think it's a better choice, even if there are no mandates anymore."
Karen: "You have free will, you know. So take it off."
Person 6: "B-but I don't want to-"
Karen: "TAKE OFF YOUR MASK NOW. BE FREE, YOU PEASANT."

Get the Karen mug.A white racist liberal democrat woman, who is overwhelmed with a sense of entitlement. She thinks the worst of minorities and anyone in the service industry. Her ignorance is founded in a lack of logical reasoning and pure irrationality.

Get the Karen mug.Incredibly self-righteous and over-confident woman who often rudely calls out others and threatens extreme action when she encounters situations that differ from her idea of what's correct. Often set-off by issue of morality and fairness, and she knows neither....
The kids were all lined up, but a Karen arrived and put her kin in the front of the line because she said that he was having an exceptionally bad day. Was surrounded on the sidewalk by too much "whiteness".

Get the Karen mug.An angry, middle-aged, white lady who gets upset at the smallest inconvenience. Karens think they are above everyone and have the worst fashion sense. Anything different from Karen is immediately seen as a threat, and she will make it known she is upset by throwing a temper tantrum in a public environment.
Person A: Oh no, Karen's yelling at the barista again.
Person B: Really?! That's so Karen. What's she saying?
