A/B/O's origin is a J2 kink meme prompt that got filled. I guess the kinks landed with a lot of people because it took of in a huge way.

Someone already gave you the breakdown of alphas, betas, and omegas. Heat sex is a major feature of a/b/o. Omegas have self-lubricating butts and alphas have very large dicks and their dicks have "knots" that expand during sex, eventually locking them together with the omega. Generally high volumes of come are involved.

Often a/b/o social dynamics can play out like extreme versions of real world social dynamics, with omegas being treated like second class citizens or property by society, and especially by alphas. But not all a/b/o fics go this route. Also, some fics kink on the "big, powerful, controlling, jealous, animalistic alpha & small, gentle, submissive omega" dynamic, while others deconstruct it or subvert it.

Some a/b/o is more animalistic and puts more emphasis on the so-called animalistic elements of alphas and omegas. But a lot of a/b/o isn't particularly animalistic, besides heats and knots.

The most notable thing about a/b/o, really, is that it's extremely customizable. Everybody writes their version of a/b/o slightly differently. I think alphas, omegas, and heats are probably the only elements that an a/b/o fic has to have to embody the trope, and how the author chooses to depict alphas, omegas, and heats is largely up to them.

I read a lot (A LOT) of a/b/o fic in the Sherock fandom, and a lot of it was really good. I've since moved on to other fandoms, and haven't really been enjoying the a/b/o in these other fandoms much. So I would say a/b/o varies a lot from fic to fic, and also it can vary quite a bit from fandom to fandom, too.
