Where does bop come from?
This current slang sense of bop is thought to have begun shortly after rapper Almighty Rexxo released a song in 2021 titled "Lala Bop." In 2023 a trend spread on TikTok and other social media platforms, in which people would tag users, generally young women, with lala bop, in an implication that the person was sexually promiscuous, or overly immodest in the way that they presented themselves online. Following the introduction of lala bop the word began to be used as simply bop, or as school bop (implying that the person had many sexual partners at a particular school).
This slang sense of bop is distinct from another recent use of the word, which is in reference to a catchy and enjoyable song, especially one that is upbeat and invites dancing.
How is bop used?
In its current slang sense bop is not a friendly word. Its use is considered offensive, hurtful, and often misogynistic.
