"Lala Bop" is a slang term and TikTok trend that originated around late 2022, used primarily to shame or "call out" individuals, especially young women, for alleged promiscuity or having multiple sexual partners, often referred to as a high "body count" (the number of people someone has hooked up with)
. The trend involves posting videos or images of people with accusations-true or fabricated-about their sexual behavior, which constitutes a form of cyberbullying and slut-shaming
. This trend is harmful as it publicly humiliates individuals, often without evidence, and disproportionately targets young women, reinforcing sexist double standards about sexuality
. The accusations can lead to serious mental health consequences such as anxiety, depression, and social isolation
. Some TikTok users have pushed back against the trend by posting counter- videos, but many victims require support from friends, family, and adults to cope with the bullying
. In summary, "Lala Bop" on TikTok is a derogatory term and trend used to shame people for their sexual activity, often spreading rumors and causing cyberbullying and emotional harm
