Oh. Right. It does sound a bit like a daft attempt at sub-genre creation, but at least it has a funny story behind it. Would Pink Floyd be a 'math-rock' band, given the complexities and time signatures changes throughout their songs?
Given that Barney The Dinosaur actually worked out sums using song, would 'Best Of Barney' be classed as 'math-rock'?
(ta for the info by the way!)

Sorry, what now? Math-rock? Do they rap calculus or something?
Man i've got to get some parodies done of this.
Math rock is a style of noise rock music that emerged in the late 1980s. It is characterised by complex, atypical rhythmic structures, stop/start dynamics and angular, dissonant riffs.
The term math rock has often been passed off as joke that has developed into what some believe is a musical style. An advocate of this is Matt Sweeney, singer with Chavez, who themselves were often linked to the math rock scene.
"It was invented by a friend of ours as a derogatory term for a band me and James (Lo) played in called Wider. But his whole joke is that he'd watch the song and not react at all, and then take out his calculator to figure out how good the song was. So he'd call it math rock, and it was a total diss, as it should be".

This is really sad, but I can't wait for more of this:
Trapped in the Closet is the funniest thing ever, and R. Kelly must realise it. 'Oh sh*t'

Steve-Dave:
Better the devil you know, though. How many of the sensible people would ever vote for Romney?
Walt Flanagan:
They're going to be non-votes, not votes for Barack.
Steve-Dave:
I doubt it. I'd say that with some of the stuff Romney will come out, people could vote Barack just to prevent Romney getting in.
Walt Flanagan:
Well, he's so clearly a terrible human being.
Walt Flanagan:
He's going to gaff his way out of the White House, even as the President is hated from all the sides of the spectrum that aren't starry eyed.
Walt Flanagan:
The GOP has gone too far towards the Stupid Bigot side of things, it may take years to get back.
Walt Flanagan:
I just think people who say that Obama would have to f*ck a white woman on television to not get elected are missing the danger.
Steve-Dave:
Oh I think Romney will still give Obama a run for his money. Romney flip-flops a lot. Could appeal to a wide enough base overall to run it close
oatibix:
Something's happened here.
Steve-Dave:
This is what happens when you leave Colin.
Steve-Dave:
And I don't mean "This is what happens when you leave, Colin", I mean this is what happens when you leave Colin. I left Colin and became all sensible and sh*t
Steve-Dave:
I'm an equivocating motherf*cker
Rayanne Graff:
Yeah, you're sh*t. i'm not sure about sensible, though.
Jimmy:
Holy sh*t everything's Barry.
Steve-Dave:
Everything's better!
Puffalump:
Barrier
Steve-Dave:
The Barryest it's ever been
Jimmy:
I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"
Steve-Dave:
Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive
Steve-Dave:
It takes like... £13
