The term Bikini Bottom is based on Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants series. As per its Fandom page, Bikini Bottom is an undersea city-state, where SpongeBob and his friends live. According to the show’s program summary, Bikini Bottom is located in the Pacific Ocean, beneath Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
SpongeBob Squarepants, as a theme, has gained a cult following over the years. A Broadway musical based on the show premiered in 2016 and has since been nominated for 12 Tony Awards. The score for the recent iteration of the musical features original music by Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic! At the Disco, Yolanda Adams, and Sara Bareilles, among others.
In the early 2000s, a video game based on the cartoon was also released. The game features an original storyline, in which the player attempts to defend Bikini Bottom from an invasion of robots created by Plankton.
