Meanings

1. A dedicated listener to jungle or drum and bass music.
   • In the drum n bass club, everyone was part of the ‘junglist massive’. 2021, Anita Rani, The Right Sort of Girl, →ISBN:

   • The problem with things that go very fast is that they tend to be a bit scary, a bit alienating, and sometimes a bit dangerous. […].
