Absolutely, bougie slang, especially in hip-hop and R&B, is very popular within the music genres. Artists often use the term bougie itself to describe the lifestyle that one pursues of luxury and wealth with a high status in society. Indeed, it has shown up in many songs with success and theme, enjoying the finer things in life, such as the phrase bad and boujee from a song by Migos, representing all things luxury living. Such a success, however, propagates bougie slang beyond the music scene and into communities where everyday conversations take place, particularly it seems among youth.
