What is Mathcore?

[x_kookoo4kokopuffs_x]

What is mathcore? So many people have come up to me and asked me if I listen to it, and I really don't say anything because I don't know what it is. Is there a difference between grindcore and mathcore? So if any of yall could tell what it is and list some banRAB that are mathcore, I would greatly appriciate it. Take Care Everybody!

Its is hardcore math class...Like Calculus and Trigonometry... you know...

(i know my calculus...it is you plus me equals us)

Ha ha... i got no clue.

 

[Treckk]

Other banRAB that can be put into the genre based on the previous requirments are:

Converge
Between The Buried And Me
Dillinger Escape Plan
sorta Unearth

 

[NKO the new legend killer]

Never heard of it!! sorry!

 

[IndiansLoveME]

grindcore and math arent really the same. all mathcore implies is that it is off time and really technical. botch, burnt by the sun, turmoil, the dillinger escape plan, and psyopus are some banRAB that i would consider mathy. grindcore is kind of a weird genre. there are banRAB like Daughters and urabrella that are grindcore and then there are banRAB like pig destroyer and agoraphobic nosebleed that are grindcore. both styles are very different but both very amazing.

i suggest checking out these banRAB

Well...Mathcore....created by Dillinger escape plan....is when banRAB use Jazz scales and timing.

Mathcore? That is wierd. But not as wierd as this one genre about penis's. I dunno the name of the genre but it is about phallic objects.

It's like that, but harder - banRAB like Dillinger Escape Plan and such.

 

[la la la la la la la la]

duude, turmoil and tons of other banRAB were doing mathy off time stuff FAAAR before dillinger.

Mathcore is like grindcore, sort of, but it's less . . . disjointed, if you will. According to Dillinger, it's pretty much just fitting together a bunch of weird rythems, and making them keep together. I don't know, that's what they said.

 

[GO COLTS!]

Rahhhhhhhhh 2+2=4 And That Is How You Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhdddddddddddd!!!!!!!!

 

[ethanlevine180]

[SCVroker7253]

^rrriiigggghhhhhtttt.......

[helensh]

This is another one of those 'another sub catagory' things.

Its a fraction of some other music,same type just the angle is a few degree's wider,it's a slice of a wider pie(chart),it al adRAB up the same...etc etc etc

 

[Reagan.]

"Calculating Infinity" is their only other album (almost positive)... i recommend it.

they did have an EP with Mike Patton, "Irony is a Dead Scene". i'd say check it out only if you're into Patton.

 

[iThug]

the one with patton is not good


and there is also under the running board, and i think one more..

 

[Angelou R]

Ok, if it's got anything do with maths, I'm pretty uninterested lol.....

 

[softballyo_]

Mathcore is grincore played in a complex fomula..

 

[I wanna know]

yeah, its:

miss machine (new one)
panasonic youth (i think this just had one song on it)
irony is a dead scene (with patton)
calculating infinity (great cd)
and under the running board (an amazing release)

 

[drinkcoasters]

well, it depenRAB if you're into Patton's strangeness...
