Bosh Jams On A Fast Break

[koganbot]

The question is what is the genre.

skyecaptain says that, while no one in Internet history has thought up an adequate generic category for whatever the hell it is that Scooter does so very well, the answer is clearly "bosh jams."

I think Scooter'd officially be called Happy Hardcore, though I'd not be the one to hold an informed opinion on the subject.

Google reveals "Toronto's Chris Bosh jams on a fast break." But it seems to me that if it's a true jam it should be a slow break, so that there can be slow bosh jams. But that doesn't seem to be the Scooter style. I suppose a slow jam can have a fast break, if they're willing to change tempo.

By the way, is "bosh" in the sense we've been using it (whatever that is) a standard term out in the big wide world of dance and pop music, or is it a special term that poptimists use? Or a word abroad in the culture but used somewhat differently here? Or something in between (that is, used elsewhere as we use it here, but not by so many)?

errrrrrrrrm, dunno...

katstevens is probably the best person to ask :)

bosh is at use in the wider word, it's an cockney word, i'm trying to think of the best way to define it, it's a bit like WALLOP or THWACK

What hmm what? Sorry, I was watching Erasure vids on Youtube. There's no way that's him doing the backflip.

ANYWAY er yes I think 'bosh' is used by non-poptimists in the onomatopaeic sense, but not as a serious adjective. Its use in common poptimists parlance may well be entirely my fault.

So you are to bosh as Nick Tosches and Dave Marsh are to punk.

And not only is it a serious adjective on poptimists, it's a serious NOUN! (Well, serious to the limited extent that something called "bosh" can be serious.)

my guess is it's not 'standard' as such - it's not in the 'bosh' disambiguation page on wikipedia.

'boshing' is stablish slang outside of poptimists, but is quite generic 'marvellous there'.

I've always assumed that the pmists use of 'bosh' comes from that bit in The Timelords' Doctorin' The Tardis where the dalek-voice goes 'bosh bosh bosh!' -- ie that it's quite specific to this group of people. But "bosh bosh bosh bosh" is also quite common onomatopoeia for four-to-the-floor bangin' techno.

'bish bash bosh' is quite a common cockney phrase, it sort of indicates that something will be fairly swift to knock together? And then of course to Edward Lear or someone 'bosh' meant 'nonsense'.
