For those people who call it djent it really cuts me deep down inside like a knife
Because it's not pronounced djent the D is silent the D is silent It's djent Not djent _ _ _ _
Now _ _ _ _ djent wasn't originally known as a genre as it's commonly known today
Originally djent was a term used to describe the heavy palm muted guitar sound
I mean calling a metal genre djent would be a lot like calling rap music
Oh, _ _ _ _ _ what's your favorite? _ _
_ _ Song I mean it's like if we named a new genre of metal music palm muting like what genre of metal music
Do you play?
Oh palm muting?
You know palm muting my favorite metal genre is pinch harmonics
But whatever it's djent labels are labels.
Whatever whatever
I said whatever
The djent djent did it djent did it djent
I think that's why they call it djent with a D because it sounds like djent djent did it djent did it djent _
And now any metal band that follows this specific sound is known as djent.

You know if things keep going this way in five years guitars are gonna look like this
_ _ _ Now what separates djent from genres such as metalcore or deathcore is the intricacies of the breakdowns

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But _ [N] _ with djent you may have a breakdown that's a lot more technical sometimes
Polyrhythmic in nature, but I'm gonna teach you the technique to write a djent breakdown as well
_ now with djent breakdowns a lot of times you'll hear them [A] utilizing just the open strings _ and _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Sometimes there will be breakdowns using a palm muting technique where instead of palm [Em] muting near the bridge
They move their hand in between the pickups [N] and you get a more percussive sound like this _ _ _ _ _ _ _
