▲Deftones is a rock band formed in 1988 in Sacramento, California. Deftones has released 6 studio albums to date. In 2008, bassist Chi Cheng was seriously injured in a car accident in Santa Clara, California, and has remained in a minimally conscious state since that time. With a temporary replacement bassist (Sergio Vega), the band managed to complete and release their sixth studio album, ''Diamond Eyes''; the album they were preparing as their sixth before Cheng's accident, ''Eros'', may be released in the future.
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.

{{creatortropes}}
* [[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"
