"Rational Gaze" by Meshuggah sounds dubstep gone metal.

Genre or not, it is distinct enough to categorize bands, rather than calling them "bands that use Meshuggah-esque riffs". Maybe it's not a genre yet, but I feel if Ska, an entire style based on playing guitar chords on the up-beat, can grow into its own distinct genre then there's no reason that djent can't. As for now it is poorly defined, and as others have said in the CZ thread there are few bands that don't simply use djent elements mainly with another large style.
Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

As I just posted in the CZ

Maybe some hear us say "djent band" and think "oh that must be something" then look into it. So our fault for using djent so much, but really I know I said djent more for fun, and we all know how sticky genres can be, sometimes djent is just easier as categorization.
But some of us bigger djenters such as myself, kevin, colin, some on PA all have said it is not a genre, so that should really say something!

Djent is not a genre.

That simple.

And yes, Meshuggah does defy description...but we can't make a genre for one band LOL

To play devil's advocate, Meshuggah hardly fits into a category at all. Of course they're progressive, but they're not prog metal. I guess you could say they're thrash/groove but if you're going to be honest no band even sounds remotely like them, even among their songs with more straightforward riffs.



My big question is how come Meshuggah is the only "extreme" variety of djenting. I mean Textures, Cloudkicker, Vildjharta etc are all pretty melodic metal bands. Can no other band sound brutal when utilizing the djent style? Or are they just afraid of sounding exactly like a Meshuggah clone.

IMO that doesnt qualify it for a sub-genre

Ha, KNEW Kevin would beast this topic.


Djent was more or less crafted by Meshuggah. It's those riffs that I originally described as "falling off" though djent is much better. (Kinda the sound it makes).

Now there are dozens, probably much more we don't know, of bands that are either Meshuggah ripoffs or some technical metal/core type thing using a lot of djenty riffs.

Just a style, not a genre LOL

Simply a style of riffing these bands use alot.
