I see that "A LOT!" of people keep debating each other about this "Djent" genre or what-ever you would people like to call it. I call it simply Pregressive Metal. I mean there's been over 50 people posting pretty much the same freaking explanation about what is "DJENT" in just different meanings and ways. People, just listen to the song and stop debating. We all know what DJENT is,otherwise you wouldn't be here on this video listening to this song! Just saying,don't intent to cause' any offence.

@TFTimotheus Actually, djent is used to describe the low end sound that 7 and 8 strings have. Personally for me it's just describing the sound I could care less about it being a "genre".

[mathprodigy]

(cont.) Because "djent" describes a sound, it has inadvertently become a genre of music encompassing this sound, much the same way that rap frequently encompasses spoken vocals and classical routinely utilizes orchestra.

New genres continue to define more narrow media as the rate of disorder, or entropy, increases throughout our universe. That's to say, as time has progressed, so have musical genres, from few and basic, to many and diverse. Djent is such a genre.

[mathprodigy]

Djent was originally coined by Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah. It is indeed onomatopoeia, referring to the sound of a modern distorted guitar played on its larger strings. It is commonly associated with progressive and technical metal acts such as TesseracT, Textures, Vildhjarta, Periphery, the aforementioned Meshuggah, After the Burial, Mnemic, and a whole slew of others (visit euroblast net). ...

@ainsleywalker yeah, but it has evolved into a way of playing, like very chromatic staccato bendy off beat playing

[ainsleywalker]

@Bikerboi13 No 'djent' is the onomatopoeia for a palm muted 4 note power chord. :) thats where the word came from

@JosefHolub18 yeah so true its just considered Progressive Metal, the tone only changes the style of the the song its just the composition what gives it that genre.

[iPlayPortal2]

Djent, as a genre, is basically Ambient Progressive Groove Metal.

Who the fuck cares what people call it?

[zsreich]

I think djent is better as a description of a sound type. For example, monuments is more djent then dream theater, but they both fall under the envelope of the progressive metal genre.

0:57 to 1:01 and 1:36 Singer sounds like Fred Durst.

People, let me set it clear.

Djent is only used for defining a band/song using that kind of playing. Sometimes you just cannot say "progressive metal"; Dream Theater is progressive metal but nowhere near from playing djent. Bands like Monuments, Periphery, Textures, Structures and Meshuggah are labeled as djent since they play the guitar that way, making a characterized sound and music kind.
