In a message dated 96-10-08 11:52:11 EDT, you write: << >When it comes to stuff like that, don't look over your shoulder for the >PC police, but think about language and words when you use them.

Jungle didn't start >out stupid, and then get colonized by a bunch of smarter techno-boffins, >and to use the term is a big diss to the originators. >> Well I must agree sounds a bit inflammatory to me. I think the reason for the term "Intelligent" in relation to this genre of music- and correct me if I am wrong peeps - but in an effort to separate this music from the usual crap you hear if you go into any mainstream club these days. The problem is that you are left with placing all of the other music - that could very well be great music but just fits into a different catagory, into a contrary position. In other words if it isn't "Intelligent" then it must be "Stupid". Easy to see how someone could get offended. Eric
