      As far as I can tell, it’s basically heavier prog, but I’m not sure. While I’m into genres that are tangentially related, prog/math stuff has never really been my scene, so YMMV.

        Not necessarily heavier, just more technical, usually with polyrhythms and funky time signatures.

          Yeah, I guess I was thinking of mathcore like Dillinger Escape Plan and Between the Buried and Me.

            Fair enough. Genre names are pretty wild these days. Lol.

              Yeah, I like how it’s a great way to describe a band’s sound to others who are conversant with related genres, but it can be really opaque to newcomers. “Technical progressive space-death” and “blackened funeral doom” are very descriptive, but only if you know the proper context

      I think this is sort of a joke about the genre math rock. At least, I hope it is, otherwise it’s just dumb.

    To be clear, the real “dice dumbass” is the one who calls a singular die by its plural term. Followed closely by those that decree a paltry number of dice sets to be “enough” at any given moment. Stand fast, fellow shiny math rock fans! 🤘🏼🤓

      I used to nitpick about plural vs singular for dice, but then I decided to never say die.
