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

    @gavrilopricip11 Před 4 lety +6

    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 !

  • @TheFlameBladeWielder
    @TheFlameBladeWielder Před 6 lety +31

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

      @atakagavin Před 4 lety +1

      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
      @TheFlameBladeWielder Před 4 lety +1

      @@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

    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😆

  • @Anvilshock
    @Anvilshock Před 4 lety +3

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

    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
      @TheMusicLab  Před 5 lety +5

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