Djent is a fairly new genre of music. It is mostly related to the "Experimental Metal" genre of music. Djent is based off of the sound of the guitar. It includes sub level gain, and also involves a lot of palm muting on low strings of the guitar. The guitars involved are usually 7/8-strings or 6-strings tuned very low to give it a good sound. The genre emphasizes on a staccato style of playing. It includes a lot of jazz riff references and also combines many technical chords. Bands that defined this style of music would be; Meshuggah, Periphery, Animals as Leaders, Midnight Realm, and many more. Ambient clean passages are included in many of the songs associated with Djent such as Periphery's song "Racecar"
