Jungle as far as I am concerned has gotten better. I am not labelling it intelligent or anything else. I am finally glad to not be hearing sped up Chipmunk vocals, in tracks. I think Drum N bass and techno had a period that wasn't very good. I hated to go to rave around 1992 because everything was sped up to +8 or played at the wrong speed and ton of chipmunk vocals (Altern 8, Prodigy, etc.) I like a lot the more recent Drum N bass like Photek, LTJ Bukem, Squarepusher, etc. I think the genre has just progressed.
