When you call a song a bop, you\u2019re also implying that it\u2019s great to dance to, in contrast to mellow and somber music. For example, if you really enjoyed the latest Dua Lipa hit, you might say, \u201cthat new Dua Lipa song is a bop!\u201d You can also say something is \u201cnot a bop\u201d if you don\u2019t particularly enjoy it or if you don\u2019t think it\u2019s suitable for dancing.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the term has been closely associated with \u201cstan\u201d culture, a type of internet fandom that revolves around supporting a specific artist. You\u2019ll frequently see self-proclaimed stans refer to songs from their favorite artists as \u201cbops,\u201d often to promote these tracks to others.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Origin_of_Bop\"><\/span>The Origin of Bop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-809253\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jazz-band.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"A jazz band performing at a nightclub.\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/jazz-band-performing-nightclub-1752493988\">sirtravelalot\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Unlike other slang terms we\u2019ve covered, the term \u201cbop\u201d significantly predates the internet. According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vocabulary.com\/dictionary\/bop\">Vocabulary.com<\/a>, \u201cbop\u201d is a reference to the sound made when you lightly hit someone. Its association with music came in the 1940s, as a shortened version of the jazz term \u201cbebop.\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.britannica.com%2Fart%2Fbebop\">Bebop<\/a> is a type of jazz with fast tempos, complex harmonies, and constant improvisation. It was also a popular form of swing dance during the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the word \u201cbop\u201d spread to the mainstream, becoming synonymous with fast, dancey music. As a result, the term is used in many songs, including the 1997 hit \u201cMMMMBop\u201d by Hanson, and the 2019 track \u201cBop\u201d by DaBaby.<\/p>\n<p>However, \u201cbop\u201d as a musical slang term online is fairly recent. The first entry for the word on the online slang repository <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=bop\">Urban Dictionary<\/a> is from 2016, and reads, \u201cused to reference a good song; to say that a song is really good.\u201d It is especially popular on Twitter, where \u201cstans\u201d of artists would proclaim that their songs were bops. This also ties into a recent increase in critical acclaim for pop music.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Counts_as_a_%E2%80%9CBop%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>What Counts as a \u201cBop?\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although the word is a generic de<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>or for good music, not every song can be called a \u201cbop.\u201d While there are no exact written criteria for what counts as a bop, there are a few qualities that bops tend to have in common. Nowadays, bops tend to be fun, dancey, and upbeat, versus mellower and softer songs. They also come from specific genres, such as pop, R&amp;B, hip-hop, and electronic music.<\/p>\n<p>However, like many other slang terms, people on the internet also use \u201cbop\u201d ironically. They might say that a song is a \u201cbop\u201d despite it being slow, long, and impossible to dance to. For example, you might find TikToks referring to various national anthems or classical pieces as \u201cbops,\u201d often for comedic effect.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few other internet slang terms that you can use to praise a song. While these terms are quite similar to bop, they have some key differences. \u201cBanger\u201d is usually used for rock and hip-hop music and refers to \u201cheadbanging\u201d\u2014a move you make with your head when you\u2019re listening to an intense part of a song.<\/p>\n<p>There is also \u201cslap,\u201d which is a more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> term than \u201cbanger\u201d or \u201cbop.\u201d For example, you might say, \u201cthis song slaps\u201d when you hear a great song on the radio. Another distinction is that \u201cslap\u201d and \u201cbanger\u201d can refer to other pieces of media, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, TV shows, and art. Bop almost always refers to music.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Bop\"><\/span>How to Use Bop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to use bop in your tweets and private messages, it\u2019s pretty straightforward. Simply use it to refer to songs that you enjoy dancing to. Here are a few examples of \u201cbop\u201d in action:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cWhat\u2019s the song playing right now? This is a bop!\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWow, her new single is a bop.
