You know your a JUNGLIST when....

you can catch a trainwreck while in a conversation with somone

*****************************

I think this topic was done before..not sure.. but feel free to add a line..this should be fun..BOH! =P

Re: You know your a JUNGLIST when....

when, during that trainwreck, you're still keeping the right time...

Re: You know your a JUNGLIST when....

yeah, a blatant trainwreck can be heard a mile away.

But why do people go see a dj play and listen for mistakes? to justify in thier own mind that they themselves are a good Dj??
why dont we just dance and listen to the MUSIC instead of trying to hear f**k ups.

Re: You know your a JUNGLIST when....

i dont think thats the point of this thread...(to point out errors or to brag)
its a "u know your a ...." tongue in cheek
type of thread...you know what i mean?

It dosent bother me when it happens, people are not machines...I just keep dancing....in time...

According to teh interw3bs ...

Boys: shave your head. It will better accentuate your fierce scowl and, if you like drumfunk, hide your imminent balding. Also, don't forget to grow a soul patch.

Girls: doesn't matter what your hair looks like. You will be heavily outnumbered and therefore in high demand. If you should find this is not the case, post a picture of yourself on a D&B message board, and watch the replies roll in. Hint: your acne and fat-ass are meaningless in the dnb world.

Clothes for boys: include hoodies, t-shirts and baggy trousers , no matter what style of D&B you prefer. Alternatively, if you and your crew all reach the club wearing rockports and burberry caps, the DJ will probably play some hilarously-titled wobble tune for you, and rewind it five times. Proper, proper, proper.

Clothes for girls: see number 2. Just make sure that it's obvious you are a girl.

Rewinds: if you particularly appreciate the DJ's selection, make a funny gun-shape with your fingers and shout at him/her. Do not do this in any other circumstance, or it might lead to trouble. In any case, the DJ will undoubtedly rewind the biggest tunes anyway, even if the crowd were to sit there in stony-faced silence.

Your upbringing: Even if you grew up riding ponies and shooting peasants on an estate in Buckinghamshire, or eating grilled-cheese in a trailer in Kansas, you still have bare love for all the mans in Brixton town. Practice teeth-sucking. Represent.

Mock everything

Your musical background: you were born into this world to the sound of 'Amen Brother' by The Winstons, the mobile hanging above your cot was built by King Tubby, and you were the first kid at school to own signed copies of albums by NWA, 2Pac and Demon Boyz. The copies of "Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em" and the first Ugly Kid Joe album must have appeared in your record collection by mistake.

If you're from the UK, you have been around since day one, cause they invented this music, OK? If you're from the U.S., you heard it on a mixtape in the mid-nineties, and don't forget we invented hip-hop, you busted-teeth haters. If you're from anywhere else: STFU.

Everything started in 1992. That's all anyone cares about.

Saying any of the following in a sentence: "Seen, innit, mate, oi, innit, oi,oi, oi, respek, ello, hello, seen" automatically qualifies you as a junglist too. congratulations.

Tips

Whatever you do, pay close attention to whatever style it is currently trendy to claim influenced you to begin listening to drum and bass. This varies as rapidly as the British weather, so watch out. A sudden switch in the mood of D&B could leave your knoweldge of the lyrics to 'Incredible' looking rather old hat. Likewise, the inexplicable nostalgia for mid-nineties techstep may die a death very soon. In 2005, you will invariably be down with the "liquidy dub" styles.
To be truely 1337 download crappy 320 conversions of dubplates from set rips and mix them together using FS and pretend superstar dj's 'sent' u them.
If in doubt, you and your bredren hung out at Speed, but you met your current crew on teh dancefloor at the Blue Note in '95.
Be sure and put down anyone that doesnt roll with your kru even if (esp. if) they are into the same things you are. You want to make sure that everyone knows your are the original elite junglist Example: Some guy says he likes an artist who's music you've included in a mix. Immedietly tell him how wack he is and that said artist was a lot cooler a few years ago.
Even if you are paralysed from the neck down, front like you are a DJ waiting for your big break. You have an enormous collection of dubplates back at the lab (ie. your mum's gaff, where you are known as "Raymond" rather than "RuffJunglist92") and have mastered a triple drop with the three most obscure Metalheadz b-sides outside of London. In reality, you have spent the last three years vainly attempting to beatmatch 'Bad Ass' with 'Bodyrock' in preparation for the day Helter Skelter call you because Nicky Blackmarket has a flat tire on his BMW.
Be sure to flex your internet gangsta abilities at any given moment; be sure to reference commonly used Internet Relay Chat channels as who you rep: case in point #iamdnb, #dnbmonstertrux-- for the young ones being tuff please start in rooms like #dnbcarebears.
Be ready to use the term "roller" as if you actually know what it refers to.
Clownstep is in the eye of the beholder - don't be afraid to deploy this term against any artist who dares to play any tune that offends you and your spotty, virgin mates hanging out at the back of the club. Maybe a girl will hear you slagging off said big name artist and invite herself back to your flat to debate the merits of the No U-Turn back catalogue. Alternatively, you could just slag said artist on the DOA forum and be forced into an embarassing climbdown when they threaten you with a kicking after somebody forwards them your post.
