Your Definition
Based means correct and admirable, albeit often sort of controversial. It started (with this meaning) as a term in online political circles, but has devolved into being applicable to pretty much anything. It can be used as a single word response to something you agree with but you also perceive as something not universally accepted by society, or something really dumb or silly. It can also be used as an adjective with the same use. It can also be used to refer to a person you agree with. The word based is sometimes but not always used with the terms or variants of the terms “and redpilled”, a reference to The Matrix.
