Black women in particular use the phrase to compliment other black women’s fashion, where the term may also draw on the use of pop in fashion and design for a color, accessory, style, or look that pops, or “jumps out.” Poppin’ is most commonly associated with US Black English. This use of poppin’ puns on the sense of “What’s happening/What’s up?” as well as pop a cap, a slang phrase for “shooting someone.” In present day, people can use this phrase casually without knowing the origin of it. In the late 1990s in New York, members of the newly formed United Blood Nation (UBN) began to say “What’s poppin’?” with expectation of a response of “5 poppin’, 6 droppin’”- that is, five UBN members (represented by a five-pointed star) shooting and six rival gang members (Crips, represented by a six-pointed star) dropping dead.
