Bling Bling is a slang term in the hip hop culture. When bling bling was first coined as a term it was very innovative. Bling bling is jewelry and other ornamental accessories which are worn or carried. Cell phones, tooth caps, large gold necklaces, and other items are considered bling bling.
The term was associated with lower and middle classes or the newly wealthy. It implied that these individuals needed to show off their wealth with shiny items, and it could be a very derogatory term. Bling on its own means sound of light hitting silver or other metals. In the late 90’s the term bling bling was coined and used for rap artists like BG and Cash Money Millionaires, who wore a lot of gold and silver.
