Bop (magazine)

Bop was a teen magazine published in the United States from the 1950s until 2012. Primarily targeting a young female audience, Bop focused on popular teen idols and celebrities, offering features such as posters, quizzes, song lyrics, fashion and beauty tips, relationship advice, and fan-submitted content.

The magazine gained popularity for its vibrant design and its focus on providing exclusive content and personal access to popular musicians and actors, often associated with the bubblegum pop genre. Bop differentiated itself from some other teen magazines by frequently including gossip and rumors, which contributed to its reputation for sensationalism.

Throughout its run, Bop featured a wide range of celebrities, from The Beatles and The Monkees in its early years to contemporary pop stars like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez in its later years.

Due to declining readership and changes in the media landscape, Bop ceased publication in 2012. Its legacy remains as a significant publication in the history of teen culture and fandom.
