The Boogaloo movement, members of which are often referred to as Boogaloo boys, is a loose American far-right extremist movement. Members of the Boogaloo movement say they are preparing for a coming second United States Civil War, which they call the "Boogaloo". The term originated in far-right online communities in 2019, where it was used to refer to violent uprisings against the federal government that were anticipated to follow any confiscation of firearms. The word is now used by anti-government groups, as well as by white supremacists who specifically believe the unrest will be a race war.

History

Extremism researchers first took notice of the word "boogaloo" being used in the context of the Boogaloo movement in 2019, when they observed it being used among fringe groups including militias, gun rights movements, and white supremacist groups. The term is a reference to the 1984 cult film Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo; following the film release, adding the phrase "2: Electric Boogaloo" to a phrase became a joking reference to any unwanted or archetypical sequel. The movement adopted their name from the belief there will be a second civil war; that is, "Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo".
