A person who bops or dances to music, especially bebop jazz; also someone or something that hits or strikes.
From 'bop' + '-er' (agent suffix). Originally referred to bebop musicians and dancers in 1940s-50s jazz culture, later used more broadly for music enthusiasts.
Teen boppers in the 1950s-60s were a marketing phenomenon—record companies realized teenagers were a separate market with their own music and fashion, inventing 'teen culture' as we know it!
