Examples

• This beat slaps so hard, turn it up!
• Their new album slaps from start to finish.
• Not gonna lie, this song slaps harder than I expected.
• These tacos slap, we're coming back next week.

Where it comes from

Likely rooted in earlier slang about music that 'slaps' you with bass; it spread widely through music Twitter and TikTok in the late 2010s.
