'Djent'

jjj had any kids in playing this style yet?

djjjent

like, the "distinguishing features" of this genre seem to be palm-muted guitar chords and virtuosic guitar solos?

http://www.last.fm/tag/DJENT?ac=djent

Djent is a heavily palm-muted guitar chord.

The word djent is used to describe the guitar tone made when a two-octave power chord is palm-muted. Bulb (a.k.a. Misha Mansoor) says it best: ”[Djent is] the onomatopoeia of a heavily palm muted distorted guitar chord which is usually played as but not limited to a 4 string double octave powerchord, and as a result sounds much more metallic and sonically present than a ‘chug’ ‘chugga’ or ‘djun’ per se, and which is basically how Periphery would describe its palm muted guitar sound.” Lately, the word, coined by Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah, has also been used to identify bands that incorporate this in their music. Some would argue it is growing into a genre of its own; others disagree and go by Bulb’s definition, or refuse to use it altogether.

im not doing a poll to decide it

this just further confirms my suspicion that this doesn't count as a "genre."

that i didnt do a poll?

you're not tricking me into doing a poll

not being a metalhead at all, i just listened to a couple youtubes by periphery and tesseract. and they were pretty bad. extremely anal digital production and "sounding basically like evancsence" seem like better descrips than "palm muting"

no, I don't care about your poll, I'm talking about your copypaste from last.fm.

using a particular kind of chord in what is otherwise normal metal music does not a genre make

oh yes. yes indeed. rolling sadface

like, wasn't making power chords thicker and chunkier already characteristic of nu-metal? I'm pretty sure Deftones were doing the octave-doubled power chords on a 7-string thing 20 years ago

somebody who isnt b& should edit the wikipedia article to claim that the genre(~~) is misnamed after the tortoise song off millions now living

sadface as you cant do it or sadface as youre sick of it already?
xps

lol you banned then?

hahaha nah i can do it, i choose not to, sadface because it will pollute my ears like pantera walk has for many years every day

Could i reserve the band name Djentle Djiant before anyone else takes it plz?

― los krampusinos! (pomplamau5),

Only if its a Djubstep band

oh ffs kids still come in playing Walk?

IT NEVER ENDS

one day you will poll the top 20 most played songs by guitarists in your shop

has some guitar guy ever gone up to one of the kids saying "dude you're doing that all wrong" *this is how you play it* ?

oh ha have i never told this story on here?

so this older dude is playing "rock and roll hoochie coo" in here one day and this ratfaced knowitall kid i despise is hanging out boring me and getting his chubby little fry grease fingers all over anything, and he sidles over to the dude and tries to correct how he is playing it. and the guy sort of ignores him, but the kid wont stop or shut up and finally the older dude just stops and says "look, im not playing it wrong, seriously". and the kid just keeps being pushy and saying that he is and the dude responds with "hey, i know i am playing it right because I AM rick derringer, man." which he was.

haha I remember that story. so awesome.

...

amazing.

LOL. Not heard that one from you. But yeah, that's an amazing story

crut, if its not a genre, would you call it a movement?

it's a term people have used for years. the bands mentioned in the wikipedia page are not new. 3 or 4 years ago i first heard someone in a metalcore band talk about djent. it's not a movement.

hey guitarist for KM uses palm muting. Maybe I am a djent forefather...

only if djent has bassists with featureless faces pulling 90s nu-metal moves :P

ok what the hell?

that animals as leaders album is one of my favorites of the year. it's more or less progressive death, kinda audibly dudes who dig satch-style shred records but who also love extreme metal. honestly though I think rechristening it as a style might be positive for more people hearing some of the bands that play good & interesting technically accomplished shit like this, most of these bands aren't exactly raking in the bucks.

it might also lead to a bunch of shite uninspired clones too though. But that can happen without a "scene"

I can always not listen to the ones I don't like, it doesn't really bother me if there's a bunch of crappy bands within a scene

not even all these metalcore bands over the last 10 years (i dont mean converge or botch or isis any of the hydrahead bands*)
or nu metal?

*i know what you're going to say!
