#jungle and all of its derived genres are pretty universally recognized as niche hence why it’s often an acquired taste to be into dnb at al

people who say “I don’t like breakcore but I really like ultrakill’s soundtrack” are kind of funny to me because like…ultrakill’s ost isn’t composed of the same kinds of musical influences as most breakcore is. having frenzied drums and an irregular time signature does not necessarily make a track “breakcore”, and if you look at most of hakita’s favorite bands/tags on the HPH bandcamp page, it’s actually more metal/industrial rock inspired. which has a completely different lineage than breakcore does, although they do share some dna in the fact breakcore was inspired in some small part by electro-industrial acts like velvet acid christ, etc. these people likely aren’t connecting with the breakcore elements of his music but rather the other more familiar (and at the end of the day) rock inspired elements
