Math rock, huh?

Now then, to pick apart some points you made in the math rock post...
Slint weren't math rock, they were old skool slo-core verging on postrock.
Drive Like Jehu were neither prog nor math rock.
Rodan, June of '44, all that lot: slo-core once again.
HUM were emocore.

Now then, mathrock:
Botch are heavy mathrock
Oxes are mathrock
Dillinger Escape Plan use mathrock time signatures
NORA have tinkered with mathrock
Slint are NOT mathrock

wait, so everything that isn't math rock really is mathrock?

― Jonathan Williams (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 20:32 (twenty-three years ago)

slint's "nosferatu man" is math rock.

― gygax!, Wednesday, 13 November 2002 20:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Nosferatu Man was WAY not mathrock. The drumming sounded syncopated, but that was the closest it got in any way to be off kilter. It was SO not mathrock!

― Jim Fear, Wednesday, 13 November 2002 20:34 (twenty-three years ago)

OMG, YOU ARE SO WAY WRONG!

― gygax!, Wednesday, 13 November 2002 20:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Way not wrong bro! And other such colloquiallisms. No, seriously, mathrock, emocore, and old skool emo are always getting randomly fucked around with. I once spent half an hour arguing with a friend that Rites of Spring aren't mathrock.

>>Jonathan Williams "so everything that isn't math rock really is mathrock?"

not especially.

i say any song with a complex drum machine part is math rock

Rodan, June of '44, all that lot: slo-core once again.

How were these bands "slow" in any way?

― hstencil, Wednesday, 13 November 2002 20:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Mathrock is "I Wanna Dance With Numbers" and nothing else.

and you call that person a friend?!!?!?!?!!?

― gygax!, Wednesday, 13 November 2002 20:47 (twenty-three years ago)

gygax! - "Nosferatu Man" is mathgoth.

This thread is multiplying!!

― Aaron W, Wednesday, 13 November 2002 20:58 (twenty-three years ago)

i want to preface this statement by saying "geez, we're a bunch of dorks discussing the inner workings of mathrock. aren't there more important things we could be arguing about, like microhouse"

secondly, i agree with Jim Fear. slint, june of 44, and rodan were not math rock. maybe they were post-rock with emo vocals, but not math rock.

I cast an integral on this thread.

There's a band in Cincinnati called Dophesus that's like post-emo-math-jazz-thrash-rock, and they're fuckin cool.

More like, does that person call you a friend anymore?

And I take the reciprocal and calculate this thread's natural log.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 21:59 (twenty-three years ago)

dolphins of the forest aren't math rock... but perhaps my elbow is?

― msp, Wednesday, 13 November 2002 22:41 (twenty-three years ago)

see this is what I was saying on the other thread, for people who actually know time signatures and that shit, there are specific RULES for math rock. We plebians just think anything that seems arrhythmic must be math-rock.

tool is mathrock

i was hoping the dolphins could come on down to the mills moog lab this friday but i guess not... oh well, the dolphins can have new multiple amplification options when they return from na$hvega$.

The Vines are mathrock.

I proved math rock is not a genre by induction.

Troll.

― Marinaorgan (Marina Organ), Thursday, 14 November 2002 14:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Bozart are none more math. nice tunes too

― Marinaorgan (Marina Organ), Thursday, 14 November 2002 15:01 (twenty-three years ago)

forget math rock, how about some math cock?

― g (graysonlane), Thursday, 14 November 2002 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)

the funniest thing about this thread is that most (all?) of the author's claims of mathrock are all like 2-3 years old?

haha

and then the claim that such genres are "always getting randomly fucked around with" reeking strongly of revisionism.

― gygax!, Thursday, 14 November 2002 18:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Jim Fear has done it again.

― original bgm, Thursday, 14 November 2002 18:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Rodan and June Of '44 were math-rock. Slint weren't.

Gygax, that equation is _so_ slocore.

if series convergent, emo
if series divergent, prog

― gygax!, Thursday, 14 November 2002 22:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Math rock is not real.
