Back in 2016, Bop was a popular internet slang mainly used to describe a catchy song (similar to a "banger"). But "bop" has been around for generations with several different interpretations, including one used to refer to a promiscuous woman, the "Bop female."

Usage of the slang "bop" in derogative connotation toward women dates back decades ago and we'll explain how Gen Z dug into the past to come up with a "new" meaning to it.

What Does 'Bop Female' Mean on TikTok?

Before the music-centered meaning, "bop" was also an African American Vernacular English (AAVE) slang term since the early 2000s, receiving the earliest mention on Urban Dictionary in June 2005, by user @Eyebis, who described the term as "a name to call a female who gives head to anyone. They call them a bop because when they give head they bop their heads."

In general, a "bop female" is somebody, mostly women, who posts their body on the internet or "somebody who just be getting around with everybody, who be linking with every dude, who be around all the dudes," as TikTok user @hackedbyksgen12 explained in May 2023.

Why Gen Z Are Calling Some Women A 'Bop Female'?

Search interest about the meaning of the term "bop" increased in 2023 and 2024, as it became highly used by Gen Z on TikTok videos referring to a promiscuous woman.

For example, TikTok user @therealldesiree posted in March 2024 a video (shown below, left) with the quote "he left you for a what?" while lip-dubbing a song saying the slang "bop." In February, TikTok user @theiiprod posted a video explaining what "bop" means for the new generation and when it is used to refer to a woman (shown below, right).

How The 'Bop Female' Slang Is Used In Memes?

In May 2023, the Black Girl Confidence Bop meme went viral on TikTok, in which @realistichuman, a white person, appears dancing to the song "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae under the caption, "This song is such a little Black girl confidence bop." The video became the subject of criticism, reactions and parodies, like @potheadmelly's post, who reacted to the video (shown below, left).

A few months after the "Black Girl Confidence Bop" meme, the Lala Bop slang term grew popular on TikTok, which is another way of calling women "promiscuous." In September 2023, TikToker @1alab0preal posted a slideshow set to the "Lalabop" song consisting of two slides that read "lala bop" followed by a photo of a tagged, now-deleted TikToker, captioned, "This is Izzy. She got passed around by the friendgroup, she a th0t, and she lost her v-card at 13, she a home wrecker, she got x multiple times."
