what genre is jungle

Jungle is a genre of electronic dance music that developed out of the UK rave scene and sound system culture in the early 1990s. It is a subgenre of electronic dance music (EDM) that incorporates influences from other genres, including breakbeat hardcore and reggae/dub/dancehall. Jungle music is characterized by fast tempos (150 to 170 bpm), breakbeats, and other heavily syncopated percussive loops, samples, and synthesized effects. It is a notably more dark, less euphoric style of music than many of the other styles popular at raves.
