The phrase “bop” in this sense is New York-based slang that came out of Black and brown queer communities, especially from the ballroom scene, the hood girlies, and NYC’s underground culture.
• The word “bop” originally meant like a lil’ walk, a lil’ strut — something with sauce. Like “that girl got a bop when she walk.”
• Over time, it morphed into meaning your style, pattern, routine, way of being — especially among gay men, fem boys, and trans girls in NYC. It became a quick, flexible word to describe vibe+reputation+routine all in one.
Think Harlem, Bronx, and Brooklyn. Think girls who walk into a room and don’t have to explain themselves. You just know their bop.
“Bop” refers to someone’s vibe, energy, style, or behavioral pattern.
It’s how someone moves, acts, or carries themselves — their aura. It’s like saying “You know how I do.” or “That’s how I move.”
