I was scrolling twitter and saw this word that I've never seen before. These
kanji together do not compose a word that makes sense to me, at least.

question
grammar translation internet-slang interpretation twitter
What does ご本家様 means?
The prefix ご and the suffix 様{さま} are used in [honorific
speech](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_honorifics), to speak in a
respectful manner regarding someone or something. Here are some more examples
of the usage of [honorific
prefixes](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/2111/honorific-
prefixes-%e3%81%94-vs-%e3%81%8a).

As naruto mentioned in the comments on your question, 本家{ほんけ} is the word
that's being mentioned respectfully. Looking around on
[Twitter](https://twitter.com/search?q=%22%E3%81%94%E6%9C%AC%E5%AE%B6%E6%A7%98%22),
the word is used in slang to mean _the original_ as naruto pointed out in a
comment on this answer. As you can see from the results, it's mostly people
uploading edits or remakes of vocaloid clips and giving credit to the original
songs.

The use of honorifics is likely to show respect to the creators of various
vocaloid songs.
