Djent (/dʒɛnt/) is a subgenre of progressive metal, and an onomatopoeia of the guitar sound that characterizes it.[1][2][3] Other defining features are its use of complex and heavily syncopated rhythm patterns.[4][5] While sources such as The Guardian and Guitar World describe djent as a genre, some notable musicians including Randy Blythe (Lamb of God) and Stephen Carpenter (Deftones) say it is not.[6]
