Per Air Mail, Upper East Side Teens are Obsessed with OnlyFans!

Caron Griffith’s posted on Air Mail “Snap, Crackle, and ‘Bop’” (February 28, 2026) And some readers were shocked to learn from the subtitle of the post that “Upper East Side parents are up in arms over their daughters’ obsession with OnlyFans creators”.

In the post, Griffith wrote that being an influencer is no longer the dream job of (some) Upper East Side (UES) prep schoolgirls, because being a Bop has become its successor, and unlike its predecessor, a Bop uses social media, not to get brand deals, but as an advertising tool to sell “intimate access” to “explicit content” on OnlyFans. Griffith wrote:

For many, the influencer was the online dream job [...] But there is a successor now. Meet the “Bop.”

The Bop uses the same Internet platforms as a mainstream influencer but to a different end. She gathers attention on TikTok and Instagram, then sells intimate access to paying subscribers, mostly on the explicit-content Web site OnlyFans. The public feed is marketing. The private feed is the business.

Influencers sell products. Bops sell access to themselves.

Per Griffith, Bop stands for Baddie On Point, Body On Payroll, and/or Blown-Out Pussy. Nevertheless, some 16-year-old UES schoolgirls admire Bops: “[...] from their bedrooms, absorbing the choreography of monetized desirability as if it were an Extracurricular.” One UES parent even shared with Griffith that some schoolboys have begun to address certain schoolgirls as Bops, “both [as] an insult and compliment”.

Ari Kytsya's Belfie

In addition, Griffith wrote that, to the dismay of some UES parents, a number of prep schoolgirls are obsessed with practicing the poses (i.e., the belfie\butt-selfie), manners, and aesthetic of Bops. Griffith wrote:

The same girls who once worshipped influencer Sephora hauls and perfected soft-glow selfie routines are now practicing the poses of women who turn their bodies into a product and call it empowerment.

A parent at Columbia Prep describes their 17-year-old daughter as “constantly referencing” the Bops when it comes to her clothes, her makeup, her manner: “She is obsessed.”

OnlyFans requires creators to verify they are 18 or older before earning. But that hasn’t stopped young girls from adopting the Bop aesthetic.

A Brearley parent asked if there was a demarcation line between an influencer and a Bop, and she asked if there was a way for UES parents to convince their already wealthy daughters, whom “attend schools where the tuition is in the high five figure”, that earning enormous amounts of money via OnlyFans isn’t admirable.

“Where is the line between an influencer and a Bop? It looks very similar,” says the mother of a student at Brearley, the all-girls private school. “The Bop might actually be making more money. How do we tell our daughters it is in fact bad? They see the glam. They do not see the trade-off. They do not see the risk.”

Piper Rockelle\Bop House Collab

In terms of earning enormous amounts of money via OnlyFans, Griffith wrote about the Bop House, which houses, at approximately $75,000 per month, OnlyFans content creators who, in their early 20s, post alluring but non-explicit free content from the Bop House on social media to lure viewers to explicit paid content on OnlyFans. Griffith related that, per Fast Company, the Bop House content creators made a whopping $10 million during their first month in business.

The “Bop House,” which put the Bop term into wider circulation, began in December 2024 as an OnlyFans collective: eight women in their early 20s living together under one roof, in Fort Lauderdale, posting pastel-lit dances, Crumbl-cookie reviews, and girls’-night routines aimed at TikTok’s under-25 users. Fast Company reported they claimed $10 million in their first month; Vice put the house’s rent at roughly $75,000 a month.

Camilla Araujo's Belfie

And in terms of the lack of a demarcation line between an influencer and a Bop, Griffith wrote about 23-year-old Camilla Araujo whom had a front row seat at a: “[...] Vetements show during Paris Fashion Week last year, [and she was] photographed with Cardi B at New York Fashion Week.” Araujo shared on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast that she was earning, per month, via OnlyFans, between $1.9 and $2.5 million! 

In addition, Ari Kytsya, a 24-year-old OnlyFans content creator, is: “[...] a spokesmodel for Urban Decay, a makeup line owned by L’Oréal.”

Bhad Bhabie

Previously, we wrote about teen rapper Bhad Bhabie, whom, per Variety, in 2021, broke the OnlyFans earning record by making $1 Million in six hours. 

Sami Sheen

We wrote about 18-year-old Sami Sheen, the daughter of actors Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, whom joined OnlyFans in 2022, where she found even more fame and fortune. 

Piper Rockelle Celebrates Turning 18

And, most recently, we wrote about content creator Piper Rockelle, whom, per Mediaite (2026), shortly after doing a collab with the Bop House girls and turning 18, made over $1 Million in her first hour on OnlyFans. Hence, one should not be surprised that (some) UES prep schoolgirls possess an “obsession with OnlyFans creators”.
