So what makes a junglist a junglist?

[dj_soo]

^ I spin with wood a lot, but it was just me at samauri of jungle - it was mainly hiphop and breaks...

[Jonny Dubbs]

meh... it depends what you compare it to and what you are used to, when I lived in Vancouver my experience was quite positive when it came to meeting new people.

lol.

lock the thread please.

it is what it is to you personally. i don't need an internet definition to clarify what is completely different to different people.

so boring hearing the same response over and over.

are you kidding???? edmonton was the worst city i've ever lived in. i hated it out there. if anything people keep to themselves in edmonton. i have no problem meeting people out here. a lot of it being that you can go outside and enjoy parks and beaches and meet tons of people. in edmonton you're stuck inside so much of the year you can't meet anyone.

ugh, i spent my months there slothing around with my roommates drinking as much alcohol as i could afford to drown away my depression of living in such a boring city.

^what she said



but ya, there are jerks in all scenes i'm sure. but there are nice people too, you can't say a certain type of music following is all the same.
you know what they say bout one bad apple....

born n raised in a smalltown myself, i can see where yer comin from Tiedye.
up north i walk down the street and you pretty much say "hi how are ya" to everyone you pass, for whatever reasons.
Its strange adjusting to the city where people are far more impersonal and just mind their own shit for the most part.
heh, it took just about 2 weeks of moving down here to stop acknowledging like almost everyone i passed ha ha ha.,

[prozac]

^we mind our own shit because the city is full of psychopaths.

I'm a hyper-friendly person, and I often regret it because I attract weirdos and crazies like you wouldn't believe.

[-evil-duerr-]

^oh i know that now.

i never seen so many crazy people in my life till i moved here. lol

haha, EXACTLY! I was exactly the same way when I lived there, and I still say hi to people as I pass them up here. Now that I'm coming back in less than a week, I doubt I'll change that. Gotta stick to my values.

Around the second page of this thread, I saw actual definitions that answered the question.

Junglism isn't about the cloths, it is, and always should be about the music. People who choose to wear camo, take up djing, spraypainting, whatever...if they do it in order to identify more closely with the culture, and no just to "look like a junglist" then why hate on them. Its all about motivation, and as a junglist, the only motivation you need is the music.

One of the things that I have noticed a bit of, and have found quite disgusting, is what I call the "Top 40 Junglist". People coming out to a jungle show, wearing some camo pants they just bought, and hoping they will hear some Pendulum because that is all they know.

Though I got nothing but love for acts like Pendulum who are taking DnB to new levels and introducing new crowds to the music that influences so many of us, just liking an artist, act, or track, wearing camo, and going to a DnB show DOESN'T make you a junglist. It is often these types of people that give the word "junglist" a bad reputation. That being said, it is the people that take this initial interest, and use it to explore the music and culture further to see what, if anything else, there is that they like that I have the most respect for. It is the actually journey of discovery that makes a junglist, because in order to truly identify with a culture, you must first experience the many different sides and perspectives within that culture to get a real and thorough understanding of what it means.

Just for the record, I DO consider myself a junglist, but:

-I own only ONE (1) article of camoflage clothing (a t-shirt)
-I DO NOT do JIB
-I am actually easy to talk to if you make an attempt, but I don't pretend to be your best friend and care about everything you're trying to say if its too loud (a common problem when trying to make small talk in a club)
-I have been spinning and buying jungle records for over 3 years, though it has been only recently that I even began considering myself a junglist.

Remember what music really is. It is a form of stimulus. People react differently to different forms of stimlus, and it is the breakbeat that stimulates a junglist.

RESPECT!!

aditude.....

what's so funny about edmonton?

[Play-it-hard]

not edmonton.. everything else you have said

[crookedking]

oooh, now THAT makes sense.

[Clayton.]

Junglists are poor souls who haven't seen the light and accepted house music into their lives yet.


Kind of like finding religion.

[tiedye]

^^
haha.. I actually heard some insanely aggressive progressive house and some rockin tribal house on saturday. I'd hit up a tribal house party

[Clayton.]

You've gotta start somewhere.

[tiedye]

how popular is tribal house in van? if I could find some really heavy tribal house tracks, I'd probably make a set.
