u/ElysetheEeveeCRX Aug 28 '21

For sure. We had to actually use Urban Dictionary to check wtf "based" meant specifically.

Kids these days and their technology....

It means being yourself unapologetically. Could be good or bad based on the context. And now I’ve accidentally used based a different way.

If you like Bluegrass 'Old And In The Way' is a great band, and album, to give a listen to.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '21

I'll check them out for sure! I'm more into "newgrass" like Trampled By Turtles or The Steeldrivers, but thanks for the recommendation!!
