The boogaloo started out as a 1960s trend dance and was the theme of a lot of songs that were released at the time, like "Do the Boogaloo" and "My Baby Likes to Boogaloo". From being a trend, it became a dance style called electric boogaloo and a music genre called Latin boogaloo. The most common styles of funk are popping and locking. The television show Soul Train played a large role in giving these styles a lot of advertisement so the public will acknowledge them. Both the Lockers and The Electric Boogaloo’s, which were the dance crews accountable for the blowout of locking and popping, performed on this show.
Although it is imprecise to say that funk styles are considered Hip-Hop, the media has helped this be under the Hip-Hop umbrella.
