Djent is an onomatopoeic description of a chunky metallic sounding palm mute, usually with higher guage strings and a heavy picking hand.
It has since evolved into a genre of douchebags going 12 0 13 0 11 0 and polyrhythmic chugging for an hour at a time.
The finest piece the genre has produced is Meshuggah - Catch Thirty-Three which is glorious in every single way and has since been going steadily down hill.
Just goes to show that today's generation can't handle music that hasn't been quantised to within an inch of its life and hasn't got the tact.
Those into these guys should def check out Sarcolytic...killer DM from here in Austin, touring with Suffo:

To be honest, I'm sick of the note perfect productions that any stupid kid does. I'd rather listen to Autopsy than any of that pussy christian metalcore bands you guys listen to.
yeah man, Sarcolytic is sick. Good friends of ours.
I guarantee, that if I posted this in the rate my mix section, and told everyone that I programed drums to the guitars, NOBODY would be saying, "yeah, I totally dig the groove!!!"

These guys remind me a bit of Broken Hope.
