It may be onomatopoeia, but it's term as a genre is growing. It's certainly a lot easier to refer to all the "djent" bands rather than the "polymetric post-thrashy groove/metalcore" bands. It's a way to get all of them under one umbrella.

This is true, but I still think I prefer the term as the onomatopoeia.  Kinda bugs me that this style has become big enough to warrant its own genre.  I like it much more as a flavoring or a niche thing in music than as an entire underground genre.
