junglist

an attendant at a rave typically characterized as a fan of drum n' bass, hard techno, and jungle. Also characterized by a seemingly distant, confrontational attitude and dark clothing. An antithesis of this type of raver would be the candy raver.

Hey, that junglist dude over there has been giving me dirty looks all night.
