What is Flop? Flop Meaning Explained
Something (or someone) that failed, flopped, or is just not giving
Flop started as a way to call out failed posts or flopped trends — but now it’s also a full-on insult. Gen Z and Alpha use it to drag people who stay losing, making bad takes, or just existing in L-mode. From TikTok flops to real life dropkicks, being a “flop” is universal disrespect.
“Flop” exploded out of Stan Twitter where fans would declare rival artists’ releases as flops. Over time, it spread to all social platforms, becoming a one-word diss for anything that fails — from TikToks to test scores.
