It's different words
It will be wierd, but ok hah
1. People can use "Мужик" when:
- A male(!) person made u angry and u dont want to say his name and at the same time dont want to use a really bad word to call him u can say "Слышь, мужик!". That way u just attract his attention
- Also that word has positive meaning, male friends can call each other that way.
So I would say EVERYTGING DEPENS ON INTONATION
2. "Гопник"
It's just people that want to do nothing, they dont have goals. They are not educated people, have a small vocabulary and so on
Мужик uses only for male, and гопник u can use for male and female

@olgaburakova02 Ah, great! Thanks! So "мужик" is more like a slightly bad word for "guy", but "гопник" is a social class, I guess? гопники are working class people, but they are lazy?
- Russian
Мужик – более универсальное выражение, являет собой грубую форму слова «мужчина», подразумевает «деревенский житель», «представитель пролетариата», реже - «чувак». Также может быть использовано для подчёркивания маскулинности, как «Ну чо, выглядишь в этом как немужик»; «Ну вот, и на мужика сразу стал похож!», или «Будь мужиком, держись!».
Гопник же – диссоциальный элемент, стереотипно носящий спортивный костюм Adidas, синий берет, и сидящий на кортах (корточках) в подъездах/переходах/…улках с семками (семечками) и пивом «Балтика». Могут классифицироваться как как преступные элементы, так и как самобытная субкультура. Однако в отличие от фэндом-субкультур (анимешники, фурри, члены опр. фэндомов) и музыкальных/спортивных (болельщики, классические скинхеды), гопники относятся к контркультурам (АУЕ, воры в законе) и получают осуждение цивилизации. «Выглядишь, как гопник», «Там гопник сидит, жатву собирает (блат. ворует)» «Гопота (гопники, принебреж.) трубу (телефон) отжала (отняла посредством угроз)».

Слово «мужик» не имеет негативной окраски. Чаще всего это просто жаргонное слово для обозначения «мужчины» (nowadays it’s just a slang, informal word for “man”). В старину «мужиками» называли крестьян мужского пола (an old-fashioned term for “male peasant”). Слово «гопник» (гопница- female) имеет негативную окраску. Как правило, это человек с низким уровнем образования, хамовитый, грубый в общении и часто с криминальными наклонностями (существует так называемый «гоп-стоп»: компания гопников может остановить человека на улице и потребовать, чтоб тот отдал ему свой телефон или деньги). P.S. Working but lazy people are not called “gopniki”. They may be called in Russian «быдло» which is quite offensive, like calling people “cattle” having no ambitions to stand their opinions or change life for the better.

Лингвисты, изучающие воровские традиции, уверены, что "гопник" - это человек, который совершает "гоп-стоп" --- Так на "фене" (на жаргоне) называют молниеносный уличный грабёж, когда жертву "берут на испуг". (Грабёж - это наказуемое преступление.)
А мужик - это человек мужского пола. Всё.

Übersetzung: Sprachwissenschaftler, die Diebe Traditionen studieren, sind sich sicher, dass "Gopnik "eine Person ist, die "Gop-Stop" macht- - - So nennen Sie auf "Fehne" (im Jargon) blitzschnellen Straßenraub, wenn das Opfer "Angst nimmt". (Raub ist ein strafbares Verbrechen.)
Ein Mann ist ein männlicher Mann. Das ist alles.
