A jungle beat or jungle music is a beat or musical style that is inherently evil, immoral, and/or sensual, according to some conservative Christians.[1] In modern use, proponents of the existence of jungle beats most commonly single out the musical genres of rock and hip-hop as containing such beats.[2] Thus, according to the term's proponents, any song in the rock genre is inherently evil because of the song's musical beat, regardless of the song's lyrics or message. Some extend this analysis to Christian rock songs.[3]
Though the precise origins of the term are unclear, its use gained some prominence in the 1960s. Conservative author and evangelist David Noebel is one of the most notable proponents of the existence of jungle beats. In his writings and speeches, Noebel held that the use of such beats in music, especially rock and roll, was a communist plot to subvert the morality of the youth of the United States.[4]
Additionally, the term has a connection with racism or Victorian mores. In the 1950s, American conservative white ministers condemned rock and roll as "jungle music" or containing a "jungle beat" that they associated with "raging sexuality" because of its origin in the blues, which, at the time, was nearly exclusively performed by African-Americans.[5]
