in a cool way 

One thing the other definitions forgot to add is that people will also sometimes reference this, especially if they are in the FNF fanbase.

In FNF, an indie rhythm game, you can download and edit the files and then post them publically, making a ‘mod’. In one of these mods, called Bob 2.0 (Bob’s Onslaught), there is a character called Ron, which eventually gets killed off by Bob (the main antagonist of the mod). Just before Bob starts his queue in singing, Ron says a quick dialogue which says "*dead* (in a cool way)" which is where the joke originates from.
