Deathcore vs. Djent

just to be devils advocate here....

why is something like "djent" a trend? sure its a band pretty much ripping off the style of another band (meshuggah) and putting some of their own flavor in it and putting it out there. isnt that how any genre started? thrash? that has its own distinct sound cause a bunch of bands ripped each other off. death metal? black metal? or even out of the realm of metal. country's foundation is extremely formulaic. so why is this just a trend?

shush, you're trying to dethrone one from his elitist pedestal of musical taste, where music can't be just entertainment from time to time, and you're acctualy using logic and clear thinking to prove your point... risky.
 
Because music does that shit. Sounds cool so everyone does it, then burns itself out with it's overbearing unoriginality. Enjoy it while you can, and while it's fresh, dude.

Just wait until the 5150 is overplayed.

i think you just described metal in general and everything that falls under the umbrella of it.
 
Oh I'm aware, but it will happen upon a day where the 5150 and 57 combo will sound dated. Hopefully not soon, I'm not done with it!

Edit: Wait was that sarcasm? I suck at reading between the lines sometimes.
