	Ah, yes, so true, my friend... but the bands which do often repeat rhythmic phrases are not in question-- only the bands that don't! Hence the wording "should a Djent band be called prog... IF they don't repeat rhythmic phrases very much?" (or, simply have very extended, involved phrases) I do see how the original question is phrased confusingly... Edit time To prog, or not to prog. That, is the question. (If you ask me, I'djust say this whole thread is a DJIP!) Edited by StaaViinsZ - September 24 2017 at 04:28
