"I got heavily into the drum-and-bass scene, which is really wicked"
About this Quote
As an actor coming up in the post-rave ’90s, Naidu’s line reads like cultural self-positioning: not the rockist default, not the polished club mainstream, but something faster, darker, more technical. Drum-and-bass carried a specific charge then - imported from the UK, braided with Caribbean sound-system culture, built on chopped breaks and sub-bass that you feel more than you hear. To be “into” it was to opt into a minor-key modernity, a taste that signaled edge without requiring the self-mythologizing of punk.
“Wicked” does double duty: it’s enthusiasm, but also slang that nods to the scene’s own vernacular, a small authenticity cue. The subtext is less “I like this music” than “I know the code.” For an actor, that matters: identity is currency, and the quickest way to read as real is to name the niche that shaped you.
