A British genre of dance music from the 90s. Originated from sound system culture. The focus is on samples of breakdowns in classic soul songs, with many editing variations on the breaks. It's what spawned drum and bass, breakcore, and so many other cool genres.

Check out this really cool documentary video with more info and examples of jungle music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZHEAwDAVo

Honestly this comment was all I needed to know. Jungle is massive innit.

So that's a very common mistake to the point you could argue it isn't one anymore, but originally it's "Junglist massive".

Imagine a catchy hip-hop beat pattern, but it gets repeated real fast. There is some song structure, then an overlay of a melody, sometimes vocals, but the center of it is a broken rhytm that gets your legs moving, kicking air, do a primitive tap dance to it. That's like exploring a tact-to-tact consistent EDM music, but with some Game+ twist.

The soundtrack to Donkey Kong Country is influenced by jungle music. It was a type of club music related to electronic and house music in Britain.

Fall-through in switch/case. The perpetual anti-personnel mine.

But they do allow you to do gotos in language without gotos. Evil and cool.

That's what makes C so awesome: break, continue and goto!

Every single one a different re-edit of the original breakbeat.
