Toy Style and Concept
Bop It's overall aesthetic draws mainly from hip-hop and club culture. The game uses a breakbeat to keep the players on a rhythm, and the instructions are almost like dance commands. The announcer that narrates every game is a highly energetic "dude" sort of personality, and one of the game's signatures is the exuberant "OW!" sound that occurs when a player loses the round.

Famous quotes containing the words toy, style and/or concept:
“I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.”
—Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
“To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body—both go together, they can’t be separated.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
“The concept of a person is logically prior to that of an individual consciousness. The concept of a person is not to be analysed as that of an animated body or an embodied anima.”
—Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)
