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.”

Get the What u know bout rolin down in the deep mug.Hym "YET, still, here I am. My rights still being violated. My head still failing to drain the fluid through my lymphatic system. My bank account, empty. As my life's work has been stolen by billionaires. Waiting (patiently) for the warm glow of liberal morality to touch my life. And, while I wait, Palestinians die because you just NEED to take a hard line on Anti-Semitism. Our freedom of speech infringed upon because you need a nebulous subcategory of speech to which our rights do not apply and thus, the Anti-Semitism law. If you can do it, they can do it, so they did it and now our rights are diminished and it's entirely your fault. So, knowing better than God doesn't really amount to much."
