Well, I find it hard to believe that you and Trollheart can't recognize patterns in grindcore or math rock, but nevertheless I guess I have to take your word for it. Or maybe you're just being stubborn because you don't enjoy the music.

You seem to have a much higher comprehension of it than I do.
The point isn't really whether they make sense to someone or not. It's safe to assume The Beatles' melodies didn't make sense to my grandfather, but nevertheless they, and the melodies in grindcore, are a series of notes played in a deliberate order, which means they make up a melodies.
