i'm going to wager it's more of european thing.

because europeans don't venerate 'blackness' like everywhere else is, it doesn't have sex and violence coded into it, allowing for this kind of thing to be the pervading central physical metaphor.

Seem to remember slinkys being a simile Reynolds relies on a lot.



that was something my deejay pal Paul Kennedy came up with to describe the way the bass moves in Wiley's eski tunes - "slinkys down the stairs"

i did reference Tex Avery though in terms of the kind of impossible physical demands that the chopped up breaks were making on your body in peak period jungle and hardcore - making you want to bounce off the walls and dance on the celing

the squeaky voices also always made me think of things like Pinky & Perky and Alvin & the Chipmunks

interesting too that 4 Hero called themselves Tom & Jerry, a sideline for their more frivolous or crowd-pleasing material

i suppose one Q would be is there a ZFI with this tendency

like, hardcore + crazy-jungle is good-daft

but then with your drill & bass and later breakcore, it gets a bit slapstick-silly
