Morphology
The phrase combines 'basic' (mainstream/unoriginal) with 'bitch' (derogatory term for a person), so an English learner who knows both words can readily infer it labels someone as unoriginal or conformist. It is slang and culturally loaded (often applied to women) but the core insulting meaning is compositionally transparent rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
Basic bitch puts together basic (ordinary) and bitch (an insult). One popular idea is that people used it to laugh at someone who loves very common, trendy things like pumpkin spice lattes or big-brand clothes, so it now means 'a person who is unoriginal and follows popular trends'.
