I had some problems with my video editor this week and had to resort to iMovie, hence the lower quality. Very sorry!

Today I learnt the word Djent is an "onomatopoeia" meaning a word that sounds like the sound. i.e. : boom , sizzle,smack.or pop...Djent is the sound of muted Guitar playing. NOW YOU KNOW .. AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE !!!!!!!...and that's one to grow on !

[@flapadodawhitewoods5670]

Great video, you explained alot in 2 minutes and even gave an example. You didn't stop the flow of the video once and you were interesting the whole way through.

[@emmamae5557]

I tried to be mad at this comment because I'm an asshole, but I couldn't. Good work.

[@tristan-valiant-thor]

Back in my day we just called it a chugga chugga

[@marcusraynal]

EXCELLENT explanation! And extra points with the vids at the end! You just helped me realize that djent is one of, if not my most, favorite parts of metal!

[@cmdrriotz5283]

Drop Q? satan himself wouldn't go that low

[@CliftonPhotographer]

Check out Leo Moracxhioli's Devil Went Down to Georgia tribute to Charlie Daniels and see him djent.

[@nox-1191]

Satan himself would rather troll them first, he is rolling his eyes at what became of music, this artform he created.

[@noobmusic1864]

The Swedish call this "Yent".

[@michaelb.42112]

Thank you from an old 80's rocker...

[@mrcore7872]

Drop q?? Drop x?? Well i played in drop quadriple drop z.. Yeah...thats right..quad drop z

[@TheFlameBladeWielder]

I believe Periphery identify as djent, even to the point that they created the term (despite claiming that Meshuggah invented the word).

[@karinaberdecia931]

True

[@atakagavin]

Periphery don’t identify themselves as Djent and misha mansoor on multiple occasions has stated it’s not a genre, throughout the years they’ve made an attempt to distance themselves from the “genre”

[@TheFlameBladeWielder]

@@atakagavin I've heard Misha talk a few times about how he used it to describe the early demos he recorded alone, but he might have distanced himself at some point

[@Dogsrule777]

Thanks! It takes a killer gritty tone to Djent properly. Awesome example man!

[@kristoffcain5485]

So...like...a lot of Mick Gordon's DOOM soundtrack? I've been looking for a word to really describe what it sounds like, thank you!

[@defalttaylor7463]

If you're looking to describe micks soundtrack I'd say more industrial

[@huttonberries768]

[@Ezper-2099]

Ar-djent energy!

[@nagyiman]

maybe i'm not that late: GOOD Doom soundtrack is awesomely GOOD...also had a great inspiration on modern metal

[@beckylyon6230]

A beautiful explanation - well played bredrin! xx

[@WillieCubed]

Was expecting a meme, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a very informative video!

[@Anvilshock]

Note how the correct pronunciation of djent is /dzhen/. The t is silent to correctly reproduce and emphasise the aspect of muting. ;)

[@maclarren8372]

According to rob scallon What is djent? Djent is, a sunset Djent is, a mother's hug Djent is strong Djent is kind Djent is, a subtle hint of rosemary Djent is, a fresh cup of coffee Djent is, a love letter from long ago Djent is, reffering your grandfather as your Uncle's dad Djent is friendship😆

[@giorgoss4410]

Djent is DJentle

[@ElsewhereGuitar]

hi..im new to this genre but i love it..can someone tell me some EASY songs to learn on tab

[@b4ne56]

Sooo Doom is a Djent game????

[@jonaswang3936]

Great explaining mate

[@Testgeraeusch]

Thanks for the explaination. Had to dig through waaaaay too many memes to find a decent description.

[@리켈Likell]

Which county are you from? Sheffield? I think i recognise the accent, except i dont...

[@ENEshorty14]

Meshuggah are the Gods that created Djent .

[@aperry8810]

I like your accent mate. Good to hear a fellow northerner on KZbin. Nice video too btw.

[@v10l3t40]

When I think of hardcore and/or metalcore, this is the riffing I think of instantly

[@coquifrog]

You are a good teacher. I am enlightened. Thank you.

[@didncozosksma4466]

Every time I pick up a guitar or bass guitar, I’ve just naturally Djent like I don’t know how to play either (though I’d love to learn) but I always do it.

[@FerrymanDubs]

Great, easy, comprehensible video

[@FelixFrost]

I swear up until yesterday i though Djent was a famous rock DJ...

[@TheMusicLab]

Yes, the famous DJ Ent!

[@GAIS414]

[@tomdrumroll8677]

Is fade to black kinda djenty?

[@JUST_Sl3nderTWO]

Does The D in Djent stand for Doom?

[@Xogroroth666]

+The Music Lab Brother, dang, that's a neat kick drum sound, love it!!!

I've got a real problem with this. Silent consonants are a pet peeve of mine.

[@rogerturner5504]

What is Drop A?

[@RitzScythe]

I seen someone ask if an instrument could djent on a short and ive been asking that question not knowing what i was saying but this helps, now I can be annoying AND knowledgeable!

Thisis what makes Grind Core so appealing to young me

Very appreciated of your recommendations at the end. Thanks! :)

[@PedestalPrime]

So BFG Division by Mick Gordon has a lot of djent in it?

[@pietrofarinaio5703]

Bad horsie by steve vai does djent? Just to get the idea

[@resserydunovob7714]

Came here looking for what djent was, got exactly that! Thx

[@VOIDSenseMusic]

Was this video filmed during an earthquake?

[@hetschhog]

Thanks!

[@nox-1191]

"No band that we know of or that we can find actually identifies as a djent band" Of COURSE. They are so djenty that they were djenting before it was cool to djent, I guess...

[@PatrickwMcHenry]

So Crabcore?

[@prodbyskrew2231]

so a technical "breakdown" is basically considered djent?

[@glitchlife4639]

THANK YOU

[@jeenadjo1238]

Djent sounds cool!

[@kevinmendieta1776]

0:57 is this Grunge djent?

[@cheerio014]

Just learning this word in 2024 😅 thanks to Spotify's Daylist for telling me there's a word for it!

[@isetmfriendsofire]

I feel like this stuff feels more hardcore rooted than metal

[@matthewivanpanes3895]

So that was djent, i thought it was because of a little bit fusiony jazzy scales like polyphia does

[@alecasone]

That example doesn't sound djenty at all lol, in my head it's the same sound just way more polyrhythmic/syncopated

[@christuusgnosis]

a style is a category not always distorted

[@danielhawkins6525]

Would Unleashed by Killswitch Engage be considered djent?

[@Benjamin-om3ih]

Is this still a thing?

[@blur5725]

Check out Andy by Frank Zappa, probably the first Djent section ever recorded in 1974

[@sorgundus7927]

RIP AND TEAR

[@Twofix]

I still don't know which sound is djent. I'm aware of djent because I played Street Fighter 5 and the main menu music is so good.

[@commandercaptain4664]

I feel like I learned less after watching this than before watching it.

[@ConsciousRobot]

The best implementation of djent Ive heard is Volumes. Argue with me if you must

[@xh7385]

It's a performance technique.

[@shrimpfry880]

spotify's auto generated djent playlist has Darkthrone, Mayhem, Death, modern A7X and obscure роrnоgrind bands (at least for me)

[@tunikfilms]

Not quite my tempo.

[@mattharris9015]

It's definitely a genre

[@quicogonzalez7614]

Drop Q is all I ever play!

[@gaz312]

Did you just say that it’s very syncopated as it goes with the rhythm of the drums? Are you sure you’re not getting syncopation and synchronisation mixed up? Lol

[@TheMusicLab]

Nono, syncopation (an irregular rhythm) is found in the drums (usually the kick pattern) and tends to be matched by the other instruments.

[@gaz312]

I see. :)

[@morioh6505]

My band plays in drop #x

[@leechviolator]

on my days we call it heavy metal breakdown

To be fair, all words are made up.
