To be loud and angry
Amp is a term for when someone gets loud, angry, or hyped up, usually in a way that grabs attention. It is short for "amplifier," relating to the imagery of turning up the volume dial on a speaker when someone's "amp" escalates emotionally or energetically.
You might hear or see this word when someone rants during an argument, gets rowdy at a party, or is extra in a heated moment. "Why you so amp right now?" is a common way to call someone out for overreacting or turning up the drama.
Origin of amp
The origin of "amp" is unclear, but its origins trace back to the music scene, including rock and hip hop. It has existed since at least the late 1990s, and you may see or hear it in hip-hop lyrics, sports talk, and everyday conversations when someone's fired up—either in anger or excitement.

Amp is an abbreviation used in Minecraft for the multiplayer game mode that centers around exploring maps.
In amp, players focus on collecting food and searching for protected areas while they explore instead of building structures. Most of the blocks cannot be destroyed unless using specific tools. Other Minecraft multiplayer modes include SMP, CMP, and HMP.
