BOP

What does BOP mean?

BOP is a taiko drum with a smiling face. A bop is a song that slaps. Chat posts the drum when a track hits, when a drop lands, when a streamer nails a rhythm game note, or when they want a percussion sound in text. It is approval you can hear.

Origin

Twitch drew the drum as a global instead of leaving 'bop' as a word. The face on the drum is why it works as an emote and not just a noun. It is animated in spirit even when the file is a still: you are meant to hear the strike.

When to use BOP

• A song, a playlist redeem, or a DJ set
• Rhythm games, taiko, or any moment that is literally a beat
• A clip, intro, or edit that goes hard
• Next to SingsNote if chat is both dancing and singing
