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. |
