Post Reply - Djent

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.
