Djent is a subgenre of heavy metal characterized by downtuned riffs, heavy grooves, polyrhythmic drumming, and irregular time signatures which became popular in the early 2010s. Later bands also added in other elements that became commonly associated with the genre, namely clean, ethereal atmospheric textures, electronic overtones, and occasionally clean singing depending on the act. Dissonance is sometimes associated with the genre in the late 2010s and early 2020s, usually in more extreme acts that may or may not use the "thall" tagnote an onomatopoeia created by Vildhjarta to describe the sound of an open note on an extended-range guitar; this was largely codified by Car Bomb and Vildhjarta in the earlier part of the decade and additionally popularized by Humanity's Last Breath in the final quarter of the decade, and most extreme djent acts with prominent dissonant death metal or post-metal elements fit within this stylistic framework. Essentially, a cross between Progressive Metal and Groove Metal.
Because djent refers to a style of guitar playing, the genre of metal largely depends on the band in question. A lot of bands sound very different from each outside of the djent guitar. For example, compare Animals as Leaders to Twelve Foot Ninja, or Periphery to Hacktivist. Though, Progressive Metal and Metalcore are the most common overlaps, Alternative Metal, Nu Metal, and Melodic Death Metal combinations are also popular.
