Yo, I haven’t used weekendgunnit since it got b& by Reddit but thought this would be the best place to ask this
Recently I saw someone online REEing about the youtuber Wendigoon because he was supposedly the one who “created the Boogaloo Boys movement” and they posted this Reddit screenshot as proof :

As far as I’m aware, the whole “boogaloo” term and meme never came from some Che Guevara code word but rather Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, as in Civil war 2: electric boogaloo and was popularized by bestgunnit Not sure about the Hawaiian shirts thing but whatever
Basically what I’m trying to ask, is this guy (wendigoon) just talking out of his ass or was he really the creator of the whole meme and I’m just a retarded newfag
Sorry if this is off topic or whatever but like I said it’s kinda the best place to ask
Boogaloo was never really part of OG WG. Some wannabes always tried to make it a thing on WG but they usually started their own smaller subreddits. OG WG was always about shitposting and never about a movement.
Yeah, I remember it as more shitposts and jokes about the boogaloo and more if some people were trying to start something they'd get called a fed and call it a glow post. As to the origins it's 1776 part 2: Electric Boogaloo, a reference to Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo and also Alex Jones rant about 1776 2 if things get bad enough.
At least that's how this addled mind remembers it, or maybe it's lead bb pellet I chewed on as a kid clouding my memory, or the mercury from a broken thermometer I held and played with confusing me. Good times.
Definitely, the boog stuff here was all just memes which is why it was so funny to me when the media started thinking it was some sort of radical terrorist militia
