I thought I'd hate it, but it was actually very good.

A septic version of Bill Bailey!

Appropriate caption too. Can't tell if he's joking or not. I may be getting old. It appears djent is the double-bass-drum-pedal of 2000 or so. Lol.

Djent isn't even this years nu-metal.

I (mostly) watched both of the vids.  I'll pass.  Too old and fond of 'proper' music.  Oh, did I say I was old .

I thought that he was purposely annoying with the faces and the licking the guitar neck and that.

His play like Lil Wayne video is pretty amusing.

You could at least correct his language - valves over this side of the pond.  Tubes go in tyres and are useful for bouncing.

At a push you could head down the Thermionic Diode (etc) route too.

Honestly, I just them interchangeably. Life is too short to give a shit about Americanisms and people telling me to die.

Djent - a very popular form of technical modern metal using lots of downtuned/7/8-string guitars, electronic/ambient elements, often solid-state or digital amps (Axe-FX etc) and a shitload of noise gates and compressors:

Here's some of what it sounds like:

There are loads of these bands, they all sound the same and none of them are a patch on SikTh, without whom they wouldn't exist.

I usually describe it as like an entire genre based around ripping off "replica" by fear factory.

I remember watching Frederick Thordendal from Meshuggah describe his music once and he said something along the lines of "I dunno, it makes a sound like, dddunk, djent....."

Was kinda accurate, I love Meshuggah but hate that term now.

@headphones Sorry dude, rough evening. 

I was hoping somone would pull me up on my BSc SSc Red Dwarf reference though
