From Wiki:
Some members of the metal community, including "djenty" bands, have criticized the term 'djent', either treating it as a short-lived fad, openly condemning it, or questioning its validity as a genre.
Post-metal band Rosetta said: Maybe we should start calling doom metal 'DUNNN'.[17]
In response to a question Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe stated: There is no such thing as 'djent,' it's not a genre.[18]
In an interview with Guitar Messenger Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor said:
I was looking for gear that was djenty. I was like: ‘Are these pickups djenty?’ For some reason it caught on, but completely in the wrong way, because people think it's a style of music and they think it's a style of music I play.[19]
During an interview with got-djent.com, Sybreed guitarist Thomas "Drop" stated:
First, I don't really like the term 'djent'. It doesn't sound like 'djent-djdjdjent', more sounding like a mad duck, 'quack-quaquaquack'
In one respect, they're just wrong. If the majority of people are calling a duck a duck, then it's a duck. Even if it isn't a duck.
Also, I didn't know that 'djent' was intended to reference the sound of palm muting. I've verbally been doing that sound when talking about palm muting, or just intoning the effect, since the mid-80s - except the word was 'djun'. Djun Djun Djun Djun. Sounds cooler.
