It's just a fake definition, like nu-metal

it's not even a genre; it's a playing technique like pinch harmonics or palm muting. Only in this case, many bands use that one technique for the majority of their songwriting to the point where people call it a style of music on its own. Idk what sub-genre Periphery would be if not djent. It's not really metalcore, but it kind of is? It has the same conventions of most melodic metalcore.

I guess Progressive/Experimental/Groove Metal with Metalcore influences. Honestly it just sounds like Meshuggah mixed with technical metalcore to me though

if you think Make Total Destroy sounds anything like meshuggah or any other band i welcome your examples

anyone who thinks they only 'djent djent djent' are A. easily influenced by others or B. have heard only their first album, and only part of a song from it

probably. Band is pain on the ears and super boring, and not in a cool black metal way either. They had a good hard vocalist that couldn't do clean singing and now they have a good clean singer that can't scream to save his life. Band has never had its priorities straight.

I mean at a very basic level they're essentially Meshuggah's sound ("Djent") but a metalcore version. I love Meshuggah, I like technical metalcore, so it works for me. Don't get why everyone hates on it so much even if the music is kind of a clusterfuck

who has time to focus on the vocalist when you're always getting the equipment for the three guitarists around

It probably doesn't help that in my chorus class I tried doing death growls in front of everyone on a microphone

"It's just djent djent djent all the time. One songwriting idea."



I just don't get this. Did you like listen to 30 seconds of one song and make up your mind based on that? Or is it just an osmosis of opinion from all the other Periphery haters?



I mean, I can empathise with the opinions of people who don't like the songwriting or Sotelho's voice, but "Periphery sucks because djent djent djent 24/7" is stupid because of how inaccurate it is.



Also, you also seem to love AC/DC and Gojira. "One songwriting idea". Yeah you don't sound like a hypocrite at all.
