What is tongue popping?

Tongue popping is a sound made by creating a negative pressure within the mouth and popping the tongue against the roof of the mouth, creating a sharp "pop" sound. It is often used in music, dance, and drag performances as a form of expression or accentuation. It gained mainstream attention through the viral video of internet personality, Lizzo, showcasing her ability to tongue pop. Techniques to perfect tongue popping include strengthening the tongue muscles, practicing proper tongue placement, and experimenting with different types of mouth shapes.
