Frankly i just thought that urban dictionary definition for Djent was funny, its not to describe the entire genre. Seems like i will post Quesadilla's OP from his thread so people can understand things a little clearer. | ||

If this doesn't get closed I'm going to make 10 separate threads for violin/piano/psychedelic trance/goa trance/etc. music discussion  Edit: Aka, djent should just get buried in the heavy metal thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=101751 | ||

Seems like i will post Quesadilla's OP from his thread so people can understand things a little clearer. But it's the correct definition. Meshuggah used "djent" to describe the sound a certain chord/tone made and somehow from there a bunch of kids with Line 6 PODs and EZDrummer who thought bulb was cool decided to use the shit out of the word and now people are using it to describe what basically amounts to progressive metal bands abusing weird time signatures. This should probably just go in the metal thread really. | ||

And a news flash, people are making obscure threads for musicgenres all the time, just like they're making obscure threads about smoking tobacco and getting high. | ||

Also, it's not technically a genre of metal, but it has kinda become just that because people used the word to describe bands who used the tone and its likes a lot. + Show Spoiler + Anyone going to Sonisphere UK btw? Periphery going woo! I was considering going to that when I found out Periphery and TesseracT were on the same day then I found out the only other good band all day was Gojira :/ On July 02 2011 07:15 Ravencruiser wrote: Really don't think this obscure heavy metal subgenre deserves its own thread.

Yah, but people don't make a separate thread for smoking out of pipe, smoking ciggs, chewing tobacco or smoking cigars. I'm sorry to inform you that your comparison fails. My point stands. | ||

Not a genre Except that entire groups of bands are honing in on these tones and self-labeling themselves as djent bands, going on djent tours, playing for djent fans. Stop resisting it, Sumerian records got huge and wealthy because they capitalized on it first. For fans: Probably the most djent song possible: Melodic Prog Djent: | ||
