A Farewell to Bop, the Classic Teen Magazine (1983-2014)
LatestGoodbye Bop. Published by Laufer Media since 1983, the company also responsible for Tiger Beat, it was reported Thursday that the teen magazine would stop publishing monthly and begin releasing only special issues.
Boy Culture got wind of this news, noting that this makes Tiger Beat Laufer’s only remaining regularly publishing teen mag of this type. Let’s remember the golden years when life was full of endless locker posters of every heartthrob on the planet.
The 1980s
“Lid’s Off Michael J. Fox’s Lunch Box!”; “Tempting Tid-bits for Alyssa experts!” and “My Week With Menudo!” (Plus, John Stamos on sex, drugs and success, which seems a little risqué for a magazine that targets pre-teens.)
