[edit] Skank

"The dance is also called skank but is different from the Skank associated with goth/rock/metal genres."

Skank is, as the relevant wiki-entry suggests, associated not with goth, rock or most metal genres; but with ska and some hardcore (punk) and metalcore genres. I suggest an edit.--LarsMessy 14:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

The dance has nothing to do with MC Hammer. Jumping or Skiing is based on 'hakken' indeed.

I'm from Belgium + active in the jump scene and Jumpstyle has absolutely nothing to do with MC Hammer. I'am going to remove this from the article because it is false information. Hypnotical 09:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Is this the style they also call "Jumper" in Belgium? There´s no entry under this name. 195.46.254.116 22:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Jumpen and Jumpstyle dance are essentially the same thing, except one is the dutch name for the other.24.205.191.138 02:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quality

The quality of this article is appalling. Perhaps it could do with a translation of the somewhat bigger articles available in some of the other languages? Besides, I wonder if this article could be merged with a broader article.. obviously this is about a dance, not a music genre. --IJs 13:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Jumpstyle is a music genre and a dance.

If one searches for "Jumpen", it redirects to jumpstyle. However, the page I get is different than when I go to jumpstyle directly. (For instance, the "jumpstyle directly" page says it's from Detroit, the Jumpen->Jumpstyle redirect says it's from Belgium.) How is this possible?

Actually, it's from Chicago, as mentioned more then needed

[edit] Retard at comp

Its "hot" in the benelux? what the hell?

[edit] Hype made by sport shoe industry

BEWARE: Jumpstyle was created by a capitalist conspiracy of way overpriced name brand sport shoe companies, solely to prove that counterfeit shoes fall apart after a day when treated like this.

However also fake tennis shoes will last way long enough when not tormented by jumpstyle. It also wears down the real ones. Thus do you really want to become puppets of Nike, Adidas and others by participating in this hype?!

Who needs jumpstyle??? Boycott brands - cheap shoes rule! ;-)

[edit] Comment

This article is becoming more and more of a sluggish heap of text. Only the first alinea holds true information to the genre. Also, since the article differs LARGELY in each given language, it really has no feet to stand on.

I would like to nominate for a deletion in every language that's avaible, though I don't know how.

Either that, or have the article renamed to "Chicago Hard House".

Mainly because this whole "Jumpen" has gone to far already, It's a MARKETING THEME used in Europe to sell cheap Chicago Hard House to the youth.

"Jumpstyle" sounds *nothing* different at all from early Hard House.

Here's a few examples:

George Centeno - Check this out DJ Bam Bam - Blow your Mind Mark V and Poogie Bear - War Noise Makers - Don't Stop Jack-N-House - A man with a horn Louis Love - Jedi Raver Rick Garcia - Grind Remix

Funnily enough, none of those get mentioned in the article, only Belgian and Dutch stuff.

Although to even *remotely* suggest that "Jumpstyle" is a descendant of "Hardstyle" is ridiculous, both genres have a complete different structure.

One of the first dj's that played Hard House by the way was "Bad Boy Bill", now if that doesn't ring a bell.

I've gradually lost my respect for Wikipedia over the months for keeping this article up, I know people can add stuff, But this is insane, insomuch that it is mostly false information.

Do with it what you want.

Regards,

Michael.

It doesn't really matter if it's just a marketing name, if it is notable under the name "Jumpstyle" then it deseerves it's own article. John Hayestalk 10:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
"It's a MARKETING THEME used in Europe to sell cheap Chicago Hard House to the youth." Yeah that's good info.. please cite and put it in the article.

Marketing theme?? Musical genres do not have marketing initiatives. You think all the european hardcore labels clubbed together to rename their music Jumpstyle and advertise it as such? It doesnt work like that. Also this style has nothing to do with hard house or chicago house, its roots are in european hard techno.

[edit] This article

Is silly. :) It's a good start though. Needs allot of cleanu but good start. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.61.124.28 (talk) 20:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
