The band's distinctive musical style is often disputed by the band's fans, and trying to categorize them will result in a lot of [[Internet Backlash]]. Specifically, a lot of the band's music has a lot in common with [[Nu-metal]], including the vocalization (a mix of [[Metal Scream|screams]], [[Perishing Alt Rock Voice|whispers]], [[Spoken Word in Music|spoken word]], melodic singing and occasional rapping), the use of turntables for additional instrumentation and sound development and syncopated, riff-based instrumentation (although there is a lot of experimentation and complexity in many of their songs). However, fans argue that Deftones ''isn't really [[Nu-metal]]'', because of the lack of [[True Art Is Angsty|angst]], or claim that they're "[[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|too good]]" to be a [[Nu-metal]] band. Adding to the dispute is the band's diverse influences and [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly|mix]] of an abundance of styles, including [[Alternative Metal]], [[Alternative Rock]], [[Dream Pop]], [[Shoegazing]], [[Grunge]], [[Hardcore Punk]], [[Hip Hop]], [[New Wave]], [[Progressive Rock]] and [[Rap Metal]]. Their music could fall into any number of categorizations as a result.
The band's magnum opus is generally considered to be either ''White Pony'' or ''Diamond Eyes''. The band is generally considered an influence on [[Nu-metal]], even with the debate over whether or not they ''belong'' to the genre, and many bands in the genre have cited Deftones as an influence, including [[Trope Maker]] [[Korn]] and [[Trope Codifier]] [[Limp Bizkit]].▼

* [[Alternative Metal]] / [[Alternative Rock]] - Hard to tell. Many think they aren't the latter, though.
* [[Big Fun]] / [[Fat Bastard]] - Chino used to be a pretty skinny guy; [http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/360725/Chino+Moreno.jpg this is what he looked like.]{{Dead link}} But around the time the band's self-titled album released, [http://tlakuilokalli.blog.com/files/2010/10/deftones-chino-moreno-small1.jpg he looked like this.]{{Dead link}} He has since lost weight, however.
* [[Careful with That Axe]] - Chino has had to cancel tours because of damage caused by heavy screaming. His more recent works may be more violent-sounding than when he began.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]] - Quite a few songs on ''Adrenaline'', but particularly "7 Words" and "Engine No. 9"
