We called it Jungle before 96, and in 96 we call it drum & bass.
Initially 'Drum & Bass' and 'Jungle' were distinct sub-genres, but
keeping Jungle sub-genre's straight is a full time job.
To catalog the sub-genres I've heard or heard about, you've got
Ragga, Drum&Bass, Hardstep, Techstep, Darkside, 'Intelligent' D&B
(which as near as I can tell is D&B any time white people are involved,
which smacks of racism to me).
Then there's Jungle D&B predecessors like hardcore, breakbeat. The mind
boggles.
