My friend had a paper route and was a huge Vice fan, so he was able to buy himself the cropped blazers and Crockett outfits of the time. I didn't watch the show back then but I can still remember all of the cool clothes he wore to school and the girls were after him daily. A lot of kids at the time were wearing parachute pants since the breakdancing scene was very popular in this same timeframe. I am guilty of belonging to that crowd and it was way fun. My go-to outfit was black parachute pants, black Chuck Taylors with neon horizontal lacing, a neon handkerchief tied around the thigh. Good times that I fondly remember. As far as I was concerned, I WAS Ozone from the movie Breakin'. Cool story and experience! I could never get breakdancing down, but I liked it right away, and still do. Boom boxes as well. I had parachute pants, and later I learned the equation E=MC Hammer, so I also had Hammer pants and Hammer "steps" in my hair (I'd still take Hammer Time over Daylight Savings Time, honestly). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw the sequel actually but very much remember Shabba-Do and Poppin’ Pete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I like applying the Electric Boogaloo thing in regular life when it's the 2nd of something, anything (like "Stir Fry Dinner 2: Electric Boogaloo"); it's just something I think is so much fun to say (like the name "Rae Dawn Chong"). Electric Boogaloo, well, I'm just glad that was created; I feel we are all happier for that development! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IA-SteveB Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Back in the days when gang wars could be solved with a dance fight at the Radiotron … that’s where it’s at.
