Djent is a style that has the least creativity to go on. A threat? Pfft

Ask fifty people who aren't a part of this form and who you haven't met at a show what djent is. You'll see how "dominant" the fad really is when forty-nine of them ask you what the fuck you're talking about.
Where the depth of the lyrics are nothing more than a facade. A mask to cover the fact that there is no real meaning at all. Almost like when you have a friend that you know is dumber than shit only they insist on throwing out $10 words every few seconds to appear that they have a higher intelligence than they really do..
My metal-playing friends are into sludge, crust, black, and grind for the most part. I suppose I surround myself with like-minded people...
It's saturated like post-hardcore was/is for precisely this reason. While there are great musicians lumped into the djent genre for their rhythm tracks, any asshole with a downtuned guitar and a week's practice can reproduce the hukd on fonix rhythm-only version and think they're Bulb Jr. It's about people getting to participate and feel relevant. You can write great music on anything, even easier to write drivel... Especially if you're only using the first 5 frets. We switched to 7's, but only to regain intonation and the high E. Time spent worrying about genre hype is time wasted, and might choke your writing process with self-imposed limits. Write something awesome, and play the shit out of it.Djent is a style that has the least creativity to go on. A threat? Pfft
While we're on the subject Meshuggah was doing this better than anyone else today 17 goddamn years ago. Djent bands need to channel the NONE EP more IMO.
