Both are debateable as genres becouse they devide the kine between genre or cultural movement, cultural uproar. One is heavely localised to a a city/ state of Washington, Seattle/Aberdeen. Oter is based around a certain guitar technique / but also a certain aesthetic feel

"Djent" is a neologism coined to describe the music style of Meshuggah and their imitators, at least what they've played after moving away from what can be accurately categorized as falling under the progressive metal umbrella.

I'm not a fan of this style at all, but those seem to be the the style's most popular practitioners.

Arguably, "grunge" cannot be applied to Kurt Cobain/Nirvana, or at least, being progenitors of the scene, they often aligned themselves with values exactly opposite to the grunge bands they spawned. 

While I like Nirvana, I really don't like most grunge bands, but grunge is much more preferable to Djent.

That and Soundgarden, who are now by far my favourite mainstream rock group of the 1990s.

I agree.  I really like some bands from both genres.

I picked djent, because there are several instrumental bands I listen to.

Grunge was huge in the 90s and got annoying fast.The only thing I listen to these days is Pearl Jam's debut and some Alice in Chains.

Funny thing: Grunge.

The music industry described it to categorize bands from Seattle, and no band wanted to be a grunge band.

Nirvana was a punkband
Soundgarden was borderline heavy metal/doommetal/stonerrock
Alice in Chains was a heavy form of 80's rock, with a more sombre tone and gloomy lyrics
Pearl Jam were just a hardrock band, with a seventies-feel.
Stone Temple Pilots were somewhat like a cross between Nirvana and Pearl Jam, but they weren't from Seattle.

Those were the 'great' Grunge bands, not alike at all, except that they didn't wear make-up and the lyrics weren's about partying. In the wake of grunge (wich was mainstream and all bands were singend by majors), a lot of 'alternative' rockbands emerged.

Glamrock and hairmetal (stupid terms) went sombre and introspective and released their heaviest albums in this period but failed to attract new fans.

Anyway, Grunge didn't exist. And no Grungeband wanted to be a Grungeband. The same that a lot of progressive rockbands don't want to be a progrockband (Jethro Tull, Threshold etc.).

Djent is called djent, because of the sound it makes, when you palmmute the guitarriffs. A lot of palmuted riffs already existed in Thrash- and Deathmetal. Djent just took it to the extreme. As a genre it's kinda boring, nut as a technique it can be used to great rhythmic effect (Fear Factory, Meshuggah, etc.)

Never heard about Djent, also not the bands that is mentioned as examples of it. How it´s described here I don´t think I have lost anything. Really like to make a poll from the genres I just made myself, but not of course make it because said it here.

I disagree about that Grunge didn´t exist, at least it was a last great youth movement (I was a part of it).

And yes, I liked and still like Nirvana, Hole and Mudhoney. Even saw Nirvana live 1992. Sonic Youth is one of my big passions, but they existed long before grunge. I think they were called godfathers of Grunge (or was it Neil Young?)

Can’t stand any grunge band. And I love Meshuggah, but hate that term ‘Djent’.
