Not a single source proving that this genre exists; seems to be just the same as either math rock or progressive/groove metal. Full of original research and unverified claims.

Also just ran all the band names through the metal-archives; every single one (that had a page) was listed as either progressive metal or technical metal, the term "Djent" was not used once. ≈ The Haunted Angel 16:35, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as per nom. It's a clever coinage actually, but still a neologism/protologism, as a web search makes abundantly clear. It's not Wikipedia's job to establish genres and neologisms; we're not Urban Dictionary. Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete, non-notable neologism. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 17:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete per WP:SNOW. Looks like all the leg work that could be done to establish notability has been done to no avail, no need to draw this out. SingCal 07:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
