Dunno, loads of bands that describe themselves as math rock nowadays sound like American football, terms change

I’d say Covet are the quintessential math rock band, in the current sense of the term

Just because they’re wrong doesn’t mean we have to also be wrong.

If math rock is reduced to being just someone writing a song over an unusual beat thenbhe may as well be

I don’t know why this conversation is happening in this thread, but my hot take is that almost everything people call math rock is just jazz for people who aren’t ready to admit they like jazz.

Like most words in music, emo has broadened in useage over time

If Tiny Moving Parts (who are amazing) are not emo what are they? It’s the easiest way to describe them in a single word even tho the word has been used for many different sounding bands

I admitted to myself last summer that I like jazz. Wouldn’t say American Football are jazz. Is that what we’re arguing here?

Are American Football supporting My Chemical Romance?

I’m confused.

I think we can all agree that math rock is wank, except for Tera Melos.

I feel I’ve outgrown it a bit in the last few years but still a fan.

Strange, jazz is something I strive to get more into, I can’t really imagine being the opposite way around. Jazz is cool as fuck.

It sounds great actually. Gonna try and get to some more of the Brilliant Corners festival up here this year. Really annoyed I missed The Comet is Coming last year.

Derry jazz festival is supposed to be loads of fun too but I’ve never managed to make it along
