OAO, don't tell me stuff about metal, ok? Thanks.

math rock comes from punk attitude and progressive rock geekness and chops. There is no such thing as 'math metal' unless you're being very generous with genre descriptions. Most of that stuff is either spastic grindcore, or progressive metal. When there's odd time, it doesn't make it 'math' just like that. The original james bond theme is in 7/4 time, does that make it OMGZ MATH ROCK LET'S MOSH? Math rock is about people actually counting their beats because otherwise due to synchopation, polyrhythmics and stop-starts, it's almost impossible to keep in sync. The actual number of math bands that are deserving of the name are very very few. not because OMG math rock is awesome dude, but because not many people actually have to count. Listen to Don Caballero or something
