A Becky, for example, is a stereotype for a “basic” young, white woman, while a Chad, in other corners of the internet, stands in for a cocky, young “dudebro.”īut, why the name Karen? Karen has widely been credited to Black Twitter in the 2010s. Karen joins a trend on the internet in the 2010s of using a first name to make fun of certain kinds of people.
