Legacy The subtitle "Electric Boogaloo", originally a reference to a funk-oriented dance style of the same name, has entered the popular culture lexicon as a snowclone nickname to denote an archetypal sequel. The usual connotation is of either a ridiculous sequel title, or of the follow-up to an obscure or eclectic film (or other work). The band Five Iron Frenzy titled one of their albums Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo. The band Minus the Bear features the song "Get Me Naked 2: Electric Boogaloo" on the album Highly Refined Pirates. An episode of the television show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was titled "Chardee MacDennis 2: Electric Boogaloo". Other news articles and media have used the Electric Boogaloo subtitle, and it has also become an Internet meme. A documentary about the Cannon Group was released in 2014 called Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films of which Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo'' were featured. The term "boogaloo" on its own has become a slang term on the Internet beginning as early as 2012, coming to widespread attention in late 2019. Used by some far-right extremists to describe an uprising against the American government, the term originated from the idea that such a conflict would be, like the film, a "sequel" to the American Civil War; that is, "Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo". Groups subscribing to this ideology are considered to be a part of the boogaloo movement, and their members are often called "boogaloo boys".
