Sub-style of metal. Sometimes also known as "doom metal" due to its often agonizingly slow pace, crushing heaviness, and gloomy lyrics. It's generally accepted to have been invented by Black Sabbath. Some stoner metal bands are retro-oriented, some aren't. Common elements include marijuana references (obviously), sci-fi/fantasy themes, extended instrumental jams, and tempos anywhere from plodding dirges to medium-paced rock (but rarely faster). Heavy-ass guitar riffage is essential.
Notable bands include Kyuss, Sleep, Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, etc.

Get the metal militiamug. Trance Metal is a mixed Genre of Melodic Death Metal and with Trance music incorporated in it. It is a "metal" genre and doesn't consist of post-hardcore/electronic bands like Enter Shikari (they have trance elements but are not "trance metal" or other "core" bands like Attack! Attack! (synthpop-core not even trance).
Trance Metal usually are heavily guitar riff influenced bands (like most melodeath bands) with little breakdowns grooves or none at all. They are heavily influenced by bands like In Flames, At The Gates, Children Of Bodom, and/or Dark Tranquillity.
"During the mid to late 2000s, certain melodic death metal bands, such as Blood Stain Child, Timecry, Silent Descent, Lost Eden, The Dawn Chose Orion, and Deadlock, began to incorporate techno or trance beats and atmospheres into their music. This relatively young style has been tentatively referred to as trance metal." - wikipedia.com

Get the Neutered Metalmug. A specific style of metal music with a gloomy atmosphere and slow-tempoed instrument playing. Many consider Candlemass' "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" to be one of the first doom metal albums.
Person #1 "Let's listen to Linkin Park in your car, yo!"
Person #2 "We'll listen to Candlemass, and if you interrupt the music at any time I will be forced to stop at Guitar Center and stab you in the eye with the headstock of a Jackson soloist model."

Get the doom metalmug. Originally innovated by the experimentation of Mick Gordon in the Wolfenstein and Killer Instinct franchises, the most commonly agreed upon point of inception was when he created the Soundtrack for DOOM 2016. This can be attributed to the fact that he was tasked to "Create Music like Nobody has ever heard before" when tasked with composing and developing sound design techniques.
Through what is considered by some to be a 'happy accident' and others a display of technical brilliance in terms of music production - the culmination of factors has lead to probably the most influential movements in Modern Metal. Post-release of DOOM Eternal, the popularity of both DOOM and it's soundtracks skyrocketed and many artists sought out to decode and replicate many of the sound design techniques used.
YouTuber and Composer Geoffrey Day saw a great deal of success in creating Video Game covers in the style of DOOM; with the term 'Argent Metal' originating from a YouTube Community post in which he polled his subscribers on what they thought this new genre should be called.
Stylistic wise, the genre is generally defined by the extreme meshing of Electronic Sound Design with the Writing of Modern Metal music. It is a common misconception that Guitars are the defining factor of this genre when really, any aggressively distorted set of frequencies (or Atonal non-frequencies)from a controllable sound source often suffices.
