Gen Z vs. Millennial Jungle Music

[@STRANJAH]

YESSSS I know.... 'Babylon' was made in 1994 so technically it's a Gen X track. But a large portion of ravers who were dancing to this track in the 90's were also Millennials. Shouts out to the Gen X Junglists 😉

[@voodoohex72]

was just gonna say not even close to millennial lol. GEN X BEST GEN! And def that classic jungle tune wins. Just listen to the raw crunch compared to that clean daw sound. No comparison.

[@jessewrites17792]

Babylon was produced by Undercover agent (daz) who ran Splash & juice records, CyndicutFM & R.O.A.R. he single handedly gave a platform for us locally to be heard. He also created a wave that has made you create this video.

[@pwn3d_07]

LOL THIS MADE MY DAY

[@donventura2116]

Gen Z has better synths and ear candy for sure, but the texture of old drums suits my tastes better. The best of both worlds are the lo-fi sub-genres, where they mix older textures and more modern sounds and patterns.

[@trespasscomplex]

the synths aren't better are you mad

[@PaulBadman]

it'll come back..Amisampler just dropped and it's fire!! proper Amiga style compression

GenX deserves props for the OG Jungle, you wouldn't have none of this today if not for them original nuttahs. Big uuuup!

[@Quawa1]

this is completely wrong, if they didn't invent it, someone else from another generation would have. Don't act like gen x is the only one who could've made this.

@@Quawa1 You’re thinking of a completely different timeline where a different generation created jungle, but that’s not the case, Gen X created it, and there’s no changing that. Sorry this is such a difficult concept to understand.

[@carterboswell7611]

The 1st one doesn't sound that much like jungle to me, just sounds like a dnb track with a breaks underneath which dnb can have but both travks are still good but 2nd is definitely the better one, especially if youre on about the better jungle track

[@STRANJAH]

Check out Diagnostix other tracks, definitely jungle but new gen interpretation of it

[@carterboswell7611]

@@STRANJAH I will do, thanks bruvva

[@Richie33404]

It sounds like elements of d&b and dubstep with fast breaks. I like the older jungle for the sound profile/language and the pitch shifting, time stretching, etc that they do on the breaks

[@chinering23]

It's not Jungle, it's clownstep just using the vocal sample.

[@hybrid3d]

The great thing is we can pick and choose from over 30 years of jungle/drum and bass based on our mood. I love it all!

[@APHEXSHAMAN]

[@bladethewitch1442]

something about the old texture, and lo fi makes it different. I bet if older tracks had the same clarity as new up and coming ones we would not feel the same.

[@Bassnaut93]

Being that games and media such as Toonami were a huge part of my childhood and forming my tastes in music, I've got a bias for the milennial era of Jungle. That said, jungle is jungle, and I'mma vibe to it all. Each era adds new layers of distinction and evolution. Something to be appreciated regardless of the point of origin.

[@djraedo3353]

What are the track IDs?

[@Neillusion]

Splash - Babylon is the epitome of jungle

[@LZE.]

It's a masterpiece!

[@KingYoshiSurfer]

Been looking for the first one for ages thank you so much!!!

[@МикитаХацько]

what you care is only for the jungle to be MASSIVE, gen x z whatever don’t care

[@jessewrites17792]

Rip Daz, Undercover Agent, Splash, Juice Records, CyndicutFM. Thurrock, essex stand up.

[@naughtyducky6325]

As a zillennial I think both sound sick but I slightly prefer the first one

Same boat, different preference. Life is grand 😎

[@Year_Of_The_Cat]

Literally the second one Splash - Babylon is one of my favourite tracks of all time. And yeah Millennial here 🤣😎

[@lilmisssandi]

played it the other night bought me back to 90s xx

[@Year_Of_The_Cat]

If anybody was wondering where the vocal samples came from. It was a film called “Rockers” released in 1978. If you KZbin “Splash - Babylon (with original sample from Rockers)” you will find a video where somebody has placed the track over scenes from the movie and synced the vocals. It’s actually a sick edit and gives some context to the track 🫡

millenial, except that tune was on a breakbeat massive cd i bought in high school in the late 90s. even then im pretty sure i was still a few years late to the party on that one... goes to show its big chuuuune energy. 30 years later, i dig it just as much as i did back then.that was an era of eras

[@STRANJAH]

You hit the nail on the head, timeless classics always find a way to stick around!

[@Visiblyhealed]

There was something of a clear superior quality when it came to the "millenial" track but theres something so irresistibly delicious about the bass in the gen z track

[@JetSkiDessie]

That dog bark goes so hard

[@minrathejunglist]

Both are siiiick!

[@adnans8778]

First is not even jungle. It's modern jump up with simple overly processed drums and distorted bass synths. Second is proper jungle with real bass and intricate drum patterns.

[@jimibirbeck1996]

Mate the drums have a shaker on em so its definitely jungle 😂😂 you do realise by sticking reggae samples in a jump up song you get jungle right? 😂😂

[@JonathanDorado-p5t]

Both. Can’t believe I was at planet of the drums. My friends made sure I grew up in a proper environment.❤

Honestly they're both pretty good. Of course old school jungle is king, but I'd take either before new school dnb or liquid dnb any day, can't forget breakbeat hardcore the origin either!

I'm always going back to the jungle of the 90s n early 2000s (unreal tournament 4lyfe)for focus work but the more modern drum and bass is much more danceable

[@Joel-c9i]

Gen X was the best generation of jungle, that 1994 era was banging, think jungle hits volume 1

[@altsurf]

Gen Z has a fierce tough vibe very jump up and killer. But nothing beats the punchy crisp jungle breaks millennial has. We definitely come from an older era here.

jungle is also a vibe which is inexistant in """"today jungle""""" it sounds like can food dnb
