"Math Rock is a relatively new sub-genre of rock music, characterized by complex, atypical rhythms (often including irregular stopping and starting), frequent use of irregular time-signatures, and dissonant, angular guitars. Math rock peaked in the mid-’90s, when groups like Polvo and Chavez had small but dedicated followings among indie rockers on college campuses.

It is related to post-rock, a result of a shared scene of origin. There are differences to be noted between early post-rock and math-rock as well, though: whereas post-rock has distinct jazz influences, math rock is more dense and complex, filled with difficult time signatures and intertwining phrases. The style is a little more ‘rockist’ than post-rock, since it’s usually played by small, guitar-led bands."

I'm aware some bands like Drive Like Jehu are kind of iffy when it comes to labeling them as Math Rock but I still thought it fit well. Same goes for lightning bolt, I just threw in my favorite song of theirs for ****s.
