What is jungle music
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.

Massive!
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".
So same thing but one word is german.
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.
