Djent

Djent is used to describe a certain kind of guitar tone characterized by medium-high gain, a quick-release noise gate to emphasize staccato playing, a cut of most bass below 200Hz for a tight low end, a slight boost around 800hz for clarity, and a noticeable boost around 1.6Khz to emphasize pick attack. When a two-octave power chord is palm-muted with this tone, a "djent" sound is created rather than the typical chunkier sound.

Djent also refers to repeated staccato playing of the lowest-pitch string on a detuned 6 string or 7 string guitar with a powerful attack such that the string goes very slightly sharp upon the pick's release from the string. Lower-gauge strings are used to facilitate this.

Djent tone is many times created using a Line 6 amp modeling product such as the Pod series or the Axe-Fx. When possible, an amp model such as the Big Bottom or Modern High Gain on these devices is used in conjunction with a modeled Tube Screamer in front. Engl and Mesa amplifiers are typically used when tube amplification is preferred.

Djent is widely acknowledged to have come first from Meshuggah, but Misha 'Bulb' Mansoor has arguably popularized the sound. Djent's typical uses give rise to a "genre" of djent that is characterized by hi-fi compressed production, polyrhythmic/staccato distorted riffs and ambient clean passages which make liberal use of 9 and other "jazzy" chords. Electronica influences such as glitchy percussion and synthesizers are also incorporated.

I saw Periphery live, they were djenty as HELL!

Djent

A word commonly used when the abilities of an electric guitar are being questioned. Guitars with 7 strings or less are usually not classified as djentable

Fred: 'That's a nice guitar!'
Bob: 'Yeah, but will it djent?'
Fred: 'Don't think so, it only has 7 strings'

djent

Guitar noise onomatopoetia.
The sound you get when you palm mute with razor tight, high gain tone.

"DJENT! DJEN-DJENT!"

Not to be mixed up with the ordinary "chugga-chugga" or "dun! dun-dun!".

Metalhead #1: Dude, did you hear Peripherys new tunes?
Metalhead #2: Yeah, what a great djent on the guitars!

djent

Hitting the low string on a 6-7 or even an 8 string guitar, but then palm muting the string straight after it has been hit. Tunings used with 'djents' are usually Drop C# right down to low F's.

Artists such as Meshuggah, Periphery, Textures, Xerath and Midnight Realm use Djents in their music.

I love Meshuggah. Grandfatgers of Djent, I'll tell you hwat

Djent

A mediocre, boring subgenre of metal enjoyed by posers and Jared Dines's army of 14 year old fans. Djent fans will often make fun of actually talented metal bands for using 6 string guitars, which is often just to deflect from the fact that djent guitarists don't know how to play guitar and that the entire subgenre is just a contest to see who can make the most boring cover of Bleed by Meshuggah.

Person 1: *playing guitar*
Person 2: BRO BRO BRO DOES IT DJENT BRO DOES IT DJENT BRO BRO BRO DOES IT DJENT THO
Person 1: no because I know how to play guitar
