Popularized by Lil B, a phrase meaning to share your beliefs or live a desired lifestyle without fear of ostracization. It is now most commonly used as a response to praise others who share opinions that you agree with, particularly if those opinions are uncommon or niche.

Based is etymologically derived from base-head, a derogatory term for a person who is addicted to free-based cocaine. Based was used initially by Lil B to describe behavior that was erratic, absurd, or eccentric. He then changed his definition to describe someone being their true selves in spite of societal expectations of conformity.

Lil B attributes his freestyle rap abilities to the Based God, an entity that allows him to separate from self-doubt and the opinions of others, empowering him to ascend to a higher level of creativity.
