In case you missed it: The January 1 episode of BBC's #UniversityChallenge (Sheffield v Aberdeen) had a question about the "genre of dance music developed in the UK in the early 1990s out of the rave scene and reggae sound system culture, with acts like A Guy Called Gerald, and Goldie".
The answer "Drum & Bass" led to the host responding "we need Jungle I'm afraid", which caused quite a few memes & remixes.
And just in case you wonder, no, Jungle and DnB are not the same, and I wouldn't have accepted Drum & Bass as an answer either when the question explicitly mentions reggae, and artists with Jamaican roots.
Also, in case you'd like to sample it, too: The University Challenge clip in my first post is not a screen recording of a screen recording, but extracted from the actual episode as released on the BBC website. Video had to be re-encoded (for exact cutting), but the audio is the original, unmodified 48 kHz AAC, as good as you can get it.
