It’s not often an old joke evolves into a catchphrase for mass violence, but that’s just what’s happened this past year when a variety of extremist and fringe movements and subcultures adopted the word “boogaloo” as shorthand for a future civil war.
From militia groups to white supremacists, extremists on a range of online platforms talk about—and sometimes even anticipate—the “boogaloo.” The rise of “boogaloo,” and its casual acceptance of future mass violence, is disturbing. Among some extremists, it may even signify an increased willingness to engage in violence.
“Boogaloo” has its roots in decades of jokes about an old movie: the 1984 breakdancing film Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. Almost from the moment of the movie’s release, people exploited the format of the movie’s title for humorous purposes, replacing “Breakin’” with some other film, event or person of their choice.
These jokes included “Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo” references, made every so often by gamers and history buffs, among others. But its most recent, and most serious, iteration caught on and spread very quickly. Though some still use the phrase as a joke, an increasing number of people employ it with serious intent.

They are always just “protesters” or “concerned citizens.”
White liberal elites who murder conservative’s children signal each other by scratching their heads.
If you see a white liberal elite scratching their head they’re trying to find other killers to see if they can grab a child.
Beware... /s
So, big igloo is out?
Thanks! I just turned 64 a few days ago, and I’d never heard that Beach Boys song before.
Not only does it have “boogaloo” in it, it also says “sock it to me”.
That ought to really set off the ADL and other assorted snowflakes.
Unless you count vets I guess. Lol

Sounds like the ADL is getting trolled. Hard.
I'm afraid you may be closer then any of us could possible believe... :(
LMBO as far as I’m concerned the word boogaloo already has a meaning and has my whole life! My stepfather called blacks a boogaloo, he was born in 1912!
I always heard Boogaloo like if someone was leaving they’d say they had to Boogaloo. I won’t stop using it that way no matter how much it pisses off the snowflakes.
ADL will make that illegal next. They are fascists.
Pffttt!!!
I guess I hang with the wrong crowd, as I’ve haven’t heard anyone use “boogaloo” since the 80’s. I have been hearing that dog whistle term “Merry Christmas” a lot lately though, so there must be something going down soon...
Disunited States of America bump for later....
Nobody can do the Shingaling like I do;
Nobody can do the Shake like I do;
Nobody can do the Boogaloo like I do;
Nobody can do the Philly like I do!
Come on, frat boy, do it, too;
You did the barefooted Boogaloo!
I think this is the first time I’ve seem an article from America’s premier hate group posted on FR. But I guess it’s best to stay abreast of what they are up to (always no good).
The ADL has become the latest neo-Nazi organization engaged in treason, all funded by Soros.
It’s time for an American-style Nuremberg trial to charge traitors with crimes against the US constitution and the American people.
