A noun that usually has a negative outcome. Someone who goes to a location and enters it, however doesn't go in the basement. To classify as a basement smelt the whole area of the location must be entered, except the basement or underground area. The reasoning to be a 'basement smelt' is because there is either a fear or phobia of something in beneath the middle floor. Examples are parties, abandoned buildings, hospitals etc.

Get the Basement Smeltmug. A basement or attic dweller is typically a male over eighteen, often without a high school diploma or GED, who continues to live at home with his parent(s) without any ambition to move out or contribute to society. These individuals live in a perpetual state of ‘getting their shit together.’ Their daily routine often includes excessive marijuana use, contributing to a lack of motivation. They usually wake up around noon or later and stay up past midnight or later.
Comparable to hikikomori, basement dwellers never or rarely pay rent, lack a job or aspirations for further education, and lead an unhealthy lifestyle dominated by video games and junk food.
Their employment, if any, usually lasts only a few weeks before they quit or get fired. Many of these individuals are socially inept, misogynistic, and either obese, unhealthily skinny, or physically appear normal.
This phenomenon, more prevalent in the US and Canada, is becoming increasingly mainstream globally. While women can also be basement or attic dwellers, it is rarer.
There are subcategories within this group, including:
- The obese, anime-obsessed, heavy-breathing type who neglects personal hygiene.
- The ‘fake gangster’ (AKA Malibu’s Most Wanted), often white, obsessed with weed and mumble rap, adopting behaviors and slang (mainly the N-word) from popular rap culture.

Alan is a basement dweller, the guy is almost 30, living at his mom’s home, no job, just yelling at his video games and smoking weed, what a fucking loser!
