Reading through the Metalcore / Djent Riff Theory thread, @SalsaWood mentioned shifting by minor thirds (metalcore) or fifths (djent) as part of the defining characteristics of the genres. Someone else (I think @False_God) mentioned using the typical open string plus notes at the fifth, seventh, and eighth frets as being characteristic.
But this got me thinking - there are so many sub-genres these days, how the hell do we tell them apart or identify which is which? What characteristics define the sub-genres?
