Really, the web will be never running out of opinions about celebrities losing their glamor. An innocent question such as “Name a celebrity you think is FLOPPING” was all it took to set social media ablaze. And, boy, did the people not disappoint.

First off, the original tweet was rather innocent enough: an open invitation to dis some celebrities. The replies? All hell went loose. A few treated it as their soapbox for grievances, some went full defensive on their favorites, and others just wanted a fight.
One went in deep-fourth-the-floor: Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, and Dua Lipa are flopping hard with their recent projects. That was a pretty bold statement considering all three have been reigning at the charts here and there. Well, critics all over. Another one crushed this whole act of calling-people-flop-in-the-first-place remark by saying, “Anyone who uses the word ‘flop’ or ‘flopping’ is a loser.” Ouch.
Very random and funny moment followed: Drop Pop themselves were being roasted, a picture got thrown back with a picture of a T-shirt of the account name that went, “YOU! Available in sizes S—XXL.” The account responded with: “EXCUSE ME? WHY AM I ON A SHIRT”? The statement was left hanging in the air, impossible to explain; pure confusion.
Next came the Kesha stans. When someone described Kesha as a one-hit wonder, many were quick to remind that she had multiple hits, including Tik Tok and that One Song for 50 Shades of Grey. “She kinda ruled the Summer of 2017,” one voice said. “Saying this while Abracadabra outdoes literally anything your fave did the last 10 years is wild,” said another.
Then there came the obligatory Selena Gomez mention. Some labeled her as flopping, and another person said: “Saying this as a Selena Gomez stan is hilarious btw.” The drama never ends.
Suddenly, responses became weirdly specific. One person was like, “She gonna drop her debut album and will be getting a better song than Anxiety.” And another voice chimed in: “Thankfully she has better songs than Anxiety.” Obviously, some very passionate feelings were trapped inside about this random artist’s very own discography.
By and large, personal attacks garnish any internet debate. One said to another these words: “delete yourself and this comment,” truly a royal display of online hostility. Someone else called out a “punk who hops on hate trains for troll points.” Internet remains unbeatable in unnecessary aggression.
While half of the replies were funny because they were just people arguing over who was actually flopping, the other half were defending their favorites like their life depended on it. Typical stan stuff.
In the end, this just goes to show that Drop Pop successfully stirred the pot as intended. The debate about whether these celebs are actually flopping or not is a whole other matter. Strong opinions will forever be present on the internet, and honestly, it’s fun to watch.

So who’s really flopping? Well, it depends on who you ask. But one thing is for sure: Nobody is safe from the courts of public opinion, not even Drop Pop, who was once featured on a t-shirt during a mid-debate. Internet remains undefeated!
