@paulerxx There's actually quite a bit of math rock bands that use 4/4 (including Toe who we would all agree are super math). The essence of math, imo is using atypical rock conventions: note choices, structures, syncopation and counterpoint. Midwest emo is not as calculated as mathrock, and more angst and punky. Like think of a math rock artist sitting down to write some of they're stuff vs. like a midwest emo artist doing something during a band session and thinking, "that was sick, let's put that in one of our songs."
@@transparentbystander253 I like this definition. though I would add that the "math" part sometimes comes in form of difficult-to-play riffs, that aren't necessarily complex in rhythm or harmony. just difficult to execute on the guitar/bass/drums.
I always thought that math rock draws inspiration from midwest emo - but more so characterized by complex rhythms and time signatures borrowed from late bebop, as well as more distortion/OD used. (Though not all of the time). Examples that fit in this is AOL/others. There is also a common misconception that the Polyphia/Ichika/Manuel Fernandes style is Math Rock when it is actually not. While they borrow some of its aspects, a lot of the others are either novel or taken from other genres. One of which is fingerstyle, which they just further incorporated electric guitar techniques like tapping into. The heavy use of compression also allows tapping and harmonics to be heard with a clean tone. Thus, people are calling this new style as “Comp Rock” or “Cleanwave”
growing up, horse the band and the number twelve looks like you were my reference for what math rock is, but without realizing it, this style fully clouded my understanding of math rock.

i always thought about math rock being a "more notes" version of midwest emo tbh, to me the line gets kinda blurry with some bands
I think TTNG is the most blurry of them all for me. So twinkly but so fucking all over the place lol.
@@bt9724Progenitors to it moreso, same as King Crimson. Math Rock is usually associated with more indie acts stating from the 90s, Don Cab for example
mathrock is more about the time signatures I thought.
