TheForgotton posted:As a prog-head, I'm failing to see the distinction that makes something "math". Is it just because "progressive" is seen as a dirty word in today's music industry? Luckily, genre names mean essentially nothing and are just something someone comes up with in order to attempt to categorize what they're listening to. You can call all these bands prog and it doesn't matter at all except to the idiots who think that genres are hard and fast rules. Hell, even Don Cab, one of the supposed progenitors of mathrock dislikes the term, so why should it matter what anyone else chooses to identify them as? Everyone seems to think that musical innovation is deserving of a new label but at this point most 'genres' simply consist of whatever band chose to innovate away from its influences a bit and all the other bands who copied them. Death metal is a great example, since the entire genre consists of metal bands who copy the band Death. In conclusion, call anything whatever you want and gently caress anyone who tries to tell you you can't.
