Historical Dispute[edit]

there's a dispute as to whether boogaloo sam actually created the style or not. perhaps we should edit the historical information from the popping talk page and put it here instead. Wongba 18:08, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've now made an attempt at making the article a bit more neutral and clearly point towards the sources. I'd be glad to include other views on history, but we still need more quality sources. Currently, there are hundreds of websites claiming that the Electric Boogaloos created both popping and the electric boogaloo dance style, but I've yet to find one detailed and convincing article stating otherwise. - Wintran ^(talk) 23:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted content[edit]

I removed the following because I cannot find any more information on it. Please provide source(s) accordingly:

More recently - and specifically in London, UK and Brittany, France (Le boogaloo electrique) - the style has evolved and includes more modern moves such as 'the running man' and 'shirt pumping'. The evolution of this style is attributed to Steve Tracey and Mike Holladay who incorporated styles from Rennes, France with others from Exeter, UK. Examples of this style have been observed as far away as the USA, Japan, Russia and South East Asia.

(As far as I know, the "running man" was actually a dance move in old/middle school hip hop dancing of the late eighties, and not really related to popping at all.)

Not clear[edit]

The explanations/definitions under "moves" are not at all clear to someone reading this article who is not an expert.--72.198.218.157 05:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, can someone please provide some video or something? It is impossible to understand this otherwise. --Dragon695 (talk) 18:39, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sequel Namings[edit]

How about you incorporate thie following (from Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo ) into this article as well?

"Since the release of the film (ed: Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo ), the unusual title suffix "Electric Boogaloo," a reference to a funk-oriented dance style from the 1970s, has become a commonly used snowclone concerning sequels.^[1] Originally created by Mike Pipercic, the implications vary, but tend to imply a sequel that is ridiculous, disappointing, formulaic, or simply obscure.^[2]^[3]" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.129.151.234 (talk) 10:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
