It originally meant "based on your own beliefs," usually in the context of sticking to your guns despite unpopularity. Which is/was the cool thing to express on 4chan.
- honkler 4y agonah. 4chan learnt it from the rap song "Based God".
- hot_gril 4y agoIt meant the same thing in "Based God." I know 4chan didn't invent the phrase.
- honkler 4y agoBased in that means "being intoxicated with cocaine".
- hot_gril 4y agoLil B said it's both: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Based%20God https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Based%20God But only because he changed the meaning. Didn't realize there was an older one too.
- junofan 4y agoWhat? It’s from the 80s and means high on crack (freebase) and was re-popularized by Based God like 10–15 years ago.
- hot_gril 4y agoYep, didn't know about the crack meaning. Based God made it what it is today.
