I might be living under a rock, and not willing to dig in too deep, but I feel like Scream started as a joke and became a cult classic. Scream 2 takes it to the next level by adding self-awareness to the plot.
You can't take the Scream franchise too seriously. These movies are a mix of a movie that tries to be serious and a movie that tries to be funny. In the end, Scream 2 is sort of neither of those options.
The plot is alright, but, as characters quote, Scream 2 is Scream 1 with more killing, more violence. In the end, we feel we go full circle with Sidney's life.
By the way, Neve Campbell, although a fine actress, I don't know --- I can't stand her glaze over everything when she is afraid.
Other than that, not a good classic to recommend. Watch only if you are a die-hard movie fan.
