I miss it. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy and nostalgic.

good point, haven't heard it in a while. our first nights back in the day used to have posters that read "dubstep/house/wonky" on em

YES! ITS A GREAT WORD.
KODE9 mentions it in SONIC WARFARE, Wonky is the "RIFF" of electronic music.

dunno about anyone else but i think it sounds a bit shit. its the "y" sound at the end. its like calling your dog something with a "y" sound at the end, just a bit cheesy and should be avoided, if you sk me...

Wonky is such a good word. I love music which is wonky too, non-quantized, shambling and erratic. Too much stuff is obvious and lacking in groove.

i still use wonky all the time, especially to differentiate wonky hip hop beats type music from "regular" hip hop

I've never done ket. But I love da wonky. Does this mean that I'd love ket?

All this n-i-ggling rigmarole about wonky this wonky that is just so discombobulating.

People don't pay as much attention to Blackdown as much as a lot of people on DSF would like to think imo.

I still hear the word 'wonky' all the time by the way. Too much actually if I'm hoenst

Just poking fun. It's one of those words that means different things to different people and is funny when used to describe music, like chill or ambient
