Seriously, what’s the significance of the word? There are many teens in my neighborhood, as well as me having a teenage sister, who laugh hysterically at the word.

Some people will respond with “Wanna know what else is massive?” Is this a sex joke or something?

[I live in the US now but grew up where many people did not speak English so I may not understand jokes that well even if my parents are English speakers.]

      It’s a common error but I do believe the correct spelling is “junglist massive” as in “there are a lot of junglists”. But many people say it like you did (or at least used to, no idea if junglist are still massive).

      With that all said, I was also expecting the thread to be about this and thinking “I’m no teen and I definitely know massive”.

        I always assumed from context that the “jungleist massive” was a group of people that liked “jungleist” music.

        He also talks about the east side and West side massive.
