Djent: a community for the metal genre named, “djent”, pioneered by the band, Meshuggah.

Djent is a subgenre of progressive metal characterized by its use of complex and heavily syncopated rhythm patterns, pioneered by the Swedish band, Meshuggah. Its distinctive sound is that of high-gain, distorted, palm-muted, down-tuned strings. The name "djent" is an onomatopoeia of this sound.
