"Based" derives from the derogatory term "Baser" or "Base Head"
Basically a crackhead, or a tweaker. Lil B took that and re-appropriated it, then 4-Chan took THAT and made it what it is now.
@OP
I obviously know what a basehead is but has Lil B ever said he re-appropriated base? bc that don't sound right
Yep
At least you can call something cringe in a non serious way, as well as use the term outside of the internet without looking like a maniac.
Meanwhile it feels like anything from outrageous to simple is called “based” and the use of the word has the same tame effect.
exactly
fr tho why has based become a thing again,; who brought it back
I'm saying bro
like why now? it's so strange to me lmao

Yeah, he's said that he used to be called a basehead all the time, and decided to take that and make it a positive thing.

4chan been using it since lil b was new, but basically for everything they liked so as the site became more and more right wing it became synonymous with those ideals.
damn shame because based was supposed to be positive and bring us together
