whats mathcore?

I just downloaded fallow, and I can see it being the cd of choice in my car tomorrow.

[QUOTE=RIP Ian Curtis]what in the name of god is mathcore?[/QUOTE]

Dillinger Escape Plan?

Everyone is replying at the same time and it's getting confusing.

mathcores some weird obscure offshoot of metal/grindcore stuff, with crazy random finger tapping and s'hit, I dunno why its called mathcore, something to do with basing guitar riffs on mathematics or something.

And I acctually prefer propagandhi, but the weakerthans are nonetheless very good.

Nice 'avatar' Good Rats. Pokemon for life.

But what makes Dillenger Escape Plan "mathcore" and not "englishcore" or "foundationsofsocialsciencescore"

Ruban Dictionary: Very tech hardcore. Uses strange time signatures and very staccato and syncopated guitar melodies.

And yes, Dillenger Escape Plan.

I'm listening to The Number 12 Looks Like You right now.

mathcore, along with mathmetal, is music characterized by complicated time signatures and other insane stuff like that.

ok, thanks. Why math though?

Nick, you're a nerd...cant you fix it? :p

That being said, is it possible to get that thread that I didn't make deleted in the pit?

[QUOTE=time bomb]Nick, you're a nerd...cant you fix it? :p[/QUOTE]

The only way to stop them is prevent people from clicking the links and getting rid of the links as fast we can. If it gets too bad we do a forum lockdown, which probably won't happen. Eventually the spammers will get bored, and if J comes on, they'll lose their route to easy free emails.

[QUOTE=RIP Ian Curtis]ok, thanks. Why math though?[/QUOTE]

Math = has to do with numbers, which is what they are playing with.

[quote=good rats]That being said, is it possible to get that thread that I didn't make deleted in the pit?[/quote]

Strum should get to it, if not I'll check it out and delete it.

[QUOTE=good rats]Like Dream Theater?[/QUOTE]

I don't think they are, but I've never listened to them and don't listen to mathcore either.

Wurd.

Like Dream Theater?

i know this isnt punk, but talking about wierd time signatures, listen to "money" by pink floyd, the intro's in seven eight, i never noticed it until recently...i think its cool

aaaaah cool. Perchance I may listen to this "mathcore". Although I do hate saying it, the word is maths, not math, you confounded American swine.

Maths doesn't make anymore sense then Math.

In other news, there was a big explosion in my neighbourhood and we have a scanner (rednecks yo) and the people called in as a gunshot, 2 infact, when it was a huge single explosion, people ain't too bright.

Im in Australia, we say maths with the S here. But I can't get my mouth around mathS. My mouth is like..brain damaged, so I usually resort to saying math or mathematics.

i concur with this man, it comes from "mathematics" note the s on the end

but if you are shortening a word, you don't take some letter from the end and stick it in there. You British suck at shortening stuff.

it's math you crazy brit.

yay, a concurrance. Good Rats, you're letting our great nation down.

[QUOTE=obese_breasts]it's math you crazy brit.[/QUOTE]
brit? none of us are british (i dont think) we're all australian

well sorry, you crazy aussies

Australians are worse then the British, they are like the British rejects.

Well I'm Australian anyway, I thought you were a pom but...

Anyway, it's still maths.

like the filthiest of the filthy brits.

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]Australians are worse then the British, they are like the British rejects.[/QUOTE]
nah, we're way better than them, we beat them at all sports (with the odd mishap, cough, ashes, cough)

Nick does it anally.

Still better than being an American. Yeah, stick that in your pipe and smoke it. :P

[QUOTE=good rats]Like Dream Theater?[/QUOTE]

No, the "-core" on the end of mathcore insinuates that the music is rooted in hardcore, such as DEP, not like Dream Theater. And it's called mathcore or math-metal because of all the time signature changes and technical skill.

And yes, RIP, check out Dillinger Escape Plan. They rule.

I listened to Weakerthans first. WAY before Matt anyway. I'm also a bigger fan because matt would only suck John's dick, I'd do a round robin on the whole band.
