What is dapping?

Dapping is a form of greeting or expression of approval that involves a series of intricate handshakes, fist bumps, or other hand gestures. It is commonly seen as a way for individuals within certain communities, especially African American and Hip Hop cultures, to show respect, unity, and camaraderie.

Dapping can vary in complexity and meaning, with different handshakes and gestures holding specific significance or representing different things. It is often used as a way to acknowledge someone's presence, give props, or show solidarity with a particular group.

Dapping has become more mainstream in recent years and has been popularized through social media, music videos, and pop culture. It is a way for people to connect and communicate nonverbally through physical gestures and movements.
