| Djent, of course. Symphonic prog was made by sclerosis-ridden buffoons, and therefore should be avoided as it is primitive. Support post-89 music! |

If we're talking modern(i.e. not Genesis and Yes) then its got to be tech metal (djent is a useless term to disparet and unrelated tech/extreme metal bands, many of which have been around for a hell of a lot longer than the silly term).

Haven't you heard? It's the newest fad being beaten to death by the underground metal community. "Internet Forum Metal." -------------

It's an onomatopoeic term used to describe the sound of certain band's rhythm guitars. Some people just seem to use it to describe all technical death metal or death metal-sounding bands and instrumental progressive bands with crazy guitar. I'm sorry, I like djent, but how can it win when it only applies to all of 20 bands or so? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nathaniel607" rel="nofollow - My Last FM Profile

Say no to your dads music and yes to the new hippsters that are breaking ground in da music wold, and you dont have to feel embarast to tell your frinds your listen to. Old music No! New music Yes!  post 89 only, the rest is dead and rotten, and shuld be forgoten! yeah! -------------

Not being a fan of symphonic it's still a crushing victory over the non-event called djent. |

this guys dows not know sh*t. with that line of reasoning, he's somehow saying that new means better. so, his tragically mistaken logic says that genesis was better in the 80s, with all the pop bullsh*t, than in their prog days. or ELP was better in '92 than they were in '71. stupid moron

of course, symphonic. any kind of prog metal is not prog at their best. in fact, prog metal, and any subgenre of it, is maybe the most simple kind of prog. period.

By Gum, Ian, we're getting on As an aside, I put on The Decemberist's new album the other night. My son asked me what I was putting on, and I told him it was a great American folk rock band. He (being all of nine year old, said, at the top of his voice: "Folk? FOLK?! Dad, you're such a boring old fart!" ------------- Enhance your life.
