yeah, but it's not common usage. maybe rap-speak.
questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

what's the significance of popping the trunk in hip hop car parlance?
think it has a few meanings, basically a lady shaking her rear end is popping her trunk, and a man placing his erect peniz into a ladies bottom is also popping said trunk.

It's midrangey and moronic if it's jump up, try hard evil and too busy if it's techstep, and too blandly jazzy if it's liquid. Oh and it's too fast now if you're an old junglist, and it's not black enough any more if you're a sociologically inclined music journo.
I think people at dnb raves might reckon it's alright though, not much point going out to nights if they're shit (although I've been out to a fair few shit nights in my time).

that was a pretty complicated answer. Thanks though.
No worries. Just to add that all the people that say it's shit will love it if it sounds like mid-90's Photek.
There's loads of threads about it on DOA. As I pretty much lost interest in dnb around the late 90's, I prefer the earlier stuff, but then it's more popular and widespread now and it seems that most of the newer heads love how it sounds nowadays (apparently the older stuff was really badly produced and too slow). A lot of it sounds like shit ringtones to me, but each to their own.
I think it's also got a lot to do with being loved by the folks who are mostly referred to as "chavs", so I think there's rather a lot of snobbery involved. I don't mind them so much, far better than students ruining evenings by filling up the dancefloor posing for their facebook pics

It's a wonder students still have time for a punishing regime of tea drinking and neighbours-watching what with all the musical genres we have to ruin. Thankfully with the 50% of the population in higher education goal we'll soon have enough people to do it in shifts.
