i don't think it's necessarily supposed to be a sibling genre, just an overused british phrase that media lads weren't quite creative enough to find a synonym for before creating this stupid new "genre."

what i found more interesting is that the wiki articles for "Wonky (music)" and "Wonky techno" imply that they're two separate, even unrelated genres, and furthermore no one's proposed a merge of the articles. it never even crossed my mind that they would be considered unrelated genres or movements, since so much of what's called wonky hip-hop i'd really have to feel generous and quite libreal to consider hip-hop at all. it's not like hip-hop is the only genre with beats.

easter egg for the wonky nerds, check the creation date on the "Wonky techno" article. the year might surprise you.
