Slang: Agreement with a regressive opinion to try to fit in with a crowd. Could be read as short for 'Based on conformity'. The polar opposite of punk.
May have had a different slang definition originally, but this has what it has become through online usage.

What is "Based"?
In an interview with Complex, Lil' B was asked what "based" meant:
"Based means being yourself. Not being scared of what people think about you. Not being afraid to do what you wanna do. Being positive. When I was younger, based was a negative term that meant like dopehead, or basehead. People used to make fun of me. They was like, 'You’re based.' They’d use it as a negative. And what I did was turn that negative into a positive. I started embracing it like, 'Yeah, I’m based.' I made it mine. I embedded it in my head. Based is positive."
