So the day has finally come at last...

[-One-]

Djent has its own Wikipedia article.

I'll just leave this here for you to discuss.

 

[Petal]

Haha its grown so fast. Soon there will be sub-genres within the "genre of djent", if i may.

 

[MikeH]

There already is. "Ambidjent".

And to anyone debating that djent isn't a genre, read the definition of genre.

A music genre is a categorical and typological construct that identifies musical sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other types of music.

This is pretty cool.

 

[Mettle209]

Good to know. I have been trying to educate myself on "Djent" lately and this helps.

 

[Razzy]

I guess this means I can officially start my own genre. I shall call it, "pinch harmonic."

I guess this means I can officially start my own genre. I shall call it, "pinch harmonic."

Too late, Zakk Wylde started that one, already.

My favorite part of this article is the bit at the bottom, talking about the similarities between djent and progressive metalcore. I like the use of "unclean vocals". Makes it sound unpure, almost.

Well, I'll one up you and start a genre called "Meedly Meedly Meeee!"

 

[elrrek]

If "Meedly Meedly Meeee!" is being claimed then I'm bagging "dow dow-dow dow-dow dow-dow dow", "boop boop boop boop boop" and "jug jugga-jug jugga-jug jugga-jug jugga-jug jugga-JAH-JAH!".

and the dragon comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

 

[Prydogga]

Sbemailcore is the new genre for those gentlemen who are so inclined.

 

[Nimgoble]

Sbemailcore is the new genre for those gentlemen who are so inclined.

Originally read that as "Shemailcore". Had to double-take.

Too late, Zakk Wylde started that one, already.

So Zakk Wylde is like the Meshuggah of pinch-harmonic.

So in other words, Bulb is to Meshuggah what I will be to Zakk Wylde.

 

[Evil7]

Now who can do Djent more dirty and nasty then meshuggah? It needs some darker direction then a lot of the djent i hear..

 

[ChainsawVsGod]

How do you pronounce Djent anyway? Is is said the way its spelled? Or is it like "Dyent"?

 

[asher]

I think this is pretty neat. Credentials of it being a proper sub-genre aside, the huge amount of use it's been getting lately warrants, in my opinion, an entry like this that directly addresses the issue (I would argue it's probably a valid sub-genre descriptor, or it will be soon). This is how these things start, at any rate, and it's a generally well-written article.

which is why i only rely on Meshuggah for all my non-existent djent needs (i dont have djent needs, i just have meshuggah needs).
