STARTING A DJENT BAND? WATCH THIS PRIMER FIRST.

So, I guess 2011 was the year in which djent simulatenously rose to prominence and jumped the shark. So it goes in the hyperspeed climate of ever-changing trends facilitated by the Internet.

The band who produced this hilariously and on-point video, What We Call Victory, are themselves kinda djenty (but certainly not bad); at least they have a good enough sense of humor to be able to poke fun at themselves. Or maybe it’s all just one big troll? They’ve got a real Kickstarter page with $570 of real money already pledged… but they were only asking for $500 to begin with, which seems, uh, a wee bit low. Something tells me someone just won a bet.
