Please tell me what "based" even means so I can misuse it amongst a bunch of 12 year olds and make them fucking stop.

Crack = freebasing cocaine = base.
Bay Area rapper Lil B used to be insulted by people who called him "based", essentially meaning crackhead. He reappropriated it to mean outspokenly being yourself while actively disregarding what anybody else thinks, and started also going by Based God. That's it.

I feel like the usage has somewhat changed, people comment "based" basically whenever they unironically support the thing being presented.
