Djent (/dʒɛnt/) is a subgenre of progressive metal. Its distinctive sound is a high-gain, distorted, palm-muted, low-pitch guitar sound. The name "Djent" is an onomatopoeia of this sound.

Meaning = bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-bukah

The scene has grown rapidly, and members of the original online community, including the bands Chimp Spanner, Sithu Aye, Gizmachi, and Monuments, have gone on to tour and release albums commercially. Other bands that often use djent include A Life Once Lost, Veil of Maya, Vildhjarta, and Xerath. Born of Osiris have also been described as being inspired by the djent movement. Furthermore, Hacktivist and DVSRCite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Reception

Some members of the metal community have criticized the term "djent", either treating it as a short-lived fad, openly condemning it, or questioning its validity as a genre. But other bands such as Tesseract and Animals as Leaders have gained positive reviews, such as awards and highly acclaimed albums. Post-metal band Rosetta is noted as saying, "Maybe we should start calling doom metal 'DUNNN'." In response to a question about 'djent', Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe stated in 2011, "There is no such thing as 'djent'; it's not a genre." In an interview with Guitar Messenger, Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor said:

I was looking for gear that was djenty. I was like: ‘Are these pickups djenty?’ For some reason it caught on, but completely in the wrong way, because people think it's a style of music and they think it's a style of music I play.

In a later interview with Freethinkers Blog, Misha Mansoor stated that he felt djent had become "this big umbrella term for any sort of progressive band, and also any band that will off-time chugs You also get bands like Scale the Summit a djent band 80% of their stuff sounds like clean channel, and it's all beautiful and pretty, you know In that way, I think it's cool because it groups really cool bands together We are surrounded by a lot of bands that I respect, but at the same time, I don't think people know what djent is either It's very unclear." Later in the interview, he stated, "If you call us djent, that's fine. I mean, I would never self-apply the term, but at the same time, it's just so vague that I don't know what to make of it."

Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders also takes a more lenient view of the term, stating that there are specific characteristics that are common to "djent" bands, therefore implying legitimate use of the term as a genre. While stating that he personally strives not to subscribe exclusively to any one genre, he makes the point that a genre is defined by the ability to associate common features between different artists. In this way, it is possible to view djent as a genre describing a particular niche of modern progressive metal.
