Maybe we're not so different, you and I. I'm not totally against making jungle in 2025 but it would be good if the new producers used more fresh sounds, not the typical jungle sound pack, it feels too reverential/referential to me.

Maybe there is stuff using fresh sounds and I've just not heard it. And I'm gonna look like a wally for the five thousandth time.

I dunno perhaps my melons twisted by the nuum stuff as you say. Actually when I was really into jungle/dnb back in the mid/late 00s I probably would have loved to make exactly the sort of stuff they're making. I felt I'd missed out on jungle and wanted it to come back. Also I often think if I heard a jungle tune made in 2025 and mistook it for something made in 1993 then found out it was made in 2025 I'd feel differently about it, but should I?

It doesn't matter what I think ofc, I'm just airing my feelings/thoughts on a niche forum.

problem is you need a load of identikit jungle so the ones which are different mmake an impact. So in a way you pine for something a bit different but the surplus disappointment is a self-fulfilling (and necessary) prophecy. Otherwise you'd listen to modern neuro dnb or no jungle at all. It's pretty much why I've given up on new dance music (outside of dj/radio) and listen to old jazz/funk/latin records etc. Junglists are structurally conservative in 2025, they have to be. Same can apply to house heads, techno heads, etc.
