Seriously, no "djent" band sounds unique in terms of genre. They are all easily classifiable as some type of metal (prog, avant, core, technical) whatever. Please, no need for a sub genre that really does not exist.

To play devil's advocate, Meshuggah hardly fits into a category at all. Of course they're progressive, but they're not prog metal. I guess you could say they're thrash/groove but if you're going to be honest no band even sounds remotely like them, even among their songs with more straightforward riffs.
My big question is how come Meshuggah is the only "extreme" variety of djenting. I mean Textures, Cloudkicker, Vildjharta etc are all pretty melodic metal bands. Can no other band sound brutal when utilizing the djent style? Or are they just afraid of sounding exactly like a Meshuggah clone.
