Pop Off

What does pop off mean?

Go all out

Pop off is a phrase that encourages someone to go all out, speak their mind, or perform with confidence and energy. Depending on the context, it can mean hyping someone up ("go ahead, pop off!") or acknowledging that someone just did something impressive, bold, or unexpectedly great (similar to saying "Amen" in a supportive, encouraging way).

The phrase has roots in African American Vernacular English (AAVE). It has been around for decades, but it became mainstream in the early 2020s thanks to Gen Z and millennials on Twitter, TikTok, and meme culture.
