Unlike "Scene" or "Emo", Base is for the more individual. The general characteristics of someone of the genre "Base" are; An unhealthy obsession with shoes, Outrageous hair/makeup, Bubbly personality, Enjoyment of computer games, Love of the arts, Enjoys the smell of hairspray in the morning, Enjoys a hot latte, Abnormal eating/drinking habits, Has/wants piercings and or tattoos, retro and outlandish clothing... MUST like Hot Chip (:
Look at that girl with the awesome freakin' hair and the purple eyeshadow! I love her shoes, OMG is she playing Super Mario Brothers?! She's SOOOO base!

A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.
The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased.
The latter usage is the original use as coined by rapper Lil B, and the word originally took off on the meta-ironic website 4Chan with the latter meaning. For that reason the word is largely used meta-ironically (without context you can't tell if it's being used ironically or sincerely as it's used in both ways) and was popularized in online political slang of conservatives and the political right before being adopted into mainstream online political slang (likely through shitposting websites or subreddits such as r/politicalcompass memes that are similar to 4chan in their meta-irony and "edginess" but contain a wider variety of political beliefs) and eventually adopted into general online vernacular.
When used in online political language it can mean "based in fact" or the opposite of biased due to the number of people who saw it being first used seriously by the online political right and came to the conclusion that is was related to the phrase "destroyed with facts and logic" in reference to right wing personality Ben Shapiro.
