It's kind of like your mom writing your name on your toys with magic marker when you were little. It's an ownership ideal that we all seem to have a psychological need for, but makes having discussions about styles across generations difficult at times.<br /><br />Respectful and courteous comments/discussions are always welcome.Wildyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612203546670909958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512911072470379088.post-91852978987597663612009-06-16T21:00:42.711-04:002009-06-16T21:00:42.711-04:00yeah all u did was look up genres on wikipedia, th...yeah all u did was look up genres on wikipedia, they have so many genres of music its to hard to categorize.peterpwnshobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623994603009384801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512911072470379088.post-7059748417798433712009-06-02T20:52:57.413-04:002009-06-02T20:52:57.413-04:00Anonymous,

Now let's see what Wikipedia has to say about Mathcore:<br /><br />Mathcore (also known as technical metalcore, technical hardcore, and math metal) is a style of metalcore recognized for a high level of technical musicianship. The subgenre has its roots in bands like Converge and The Dillinger Escape Plan.<br />The music is usually filled with discordant, somewhat technical riffing, complex time signatures and song structures, and passionate, energetic vocals. Songs played by bands of this style tend to vary from mere seconds in length to over 15 minutes and rarely feature a conventional verse-chorus song structure. Bands of the mathcore genre, because they are not commercially viable, are often categorized differently depending upon the whims of journalists. Because metalcore is a hardcore punk/heavy metal crossover, bands such as Converge, and The Dillinger Escape Plan are often referred to as "hardcore," and still others, such as As the Sun Sets and Daughters, are labelled as grindcore and noisecore, though only influenced by one or both genres. Other styles of music, such as blues-rock and free jazz, have been known to inspire various mathcore bands. Coalesce have been influenced by the former, to the extent of releasing a Led Zeppelin cover EP named There Is Nothing New Under the Sun, whereas The Dillinger Escape Plan are known to credit the latter. Training for Utopia derived a sound that was more reminicent of bands like Neurosis and Today is the Day, then fused synthesizers and odd tempo changes.<br />Mathcore (also known as technical metalcore, technical hardcore, and math metal) is a style of metalcore recognized for a high level of technical musicianship.
