A term coined by @trans_zero on Twitter, meaning crack cocaine so high quality it will take tons of math to figure out how much you’ll make selling it.

Damn, Chris started selling math rock a week ago, he’s still doing the math on his first sale

math rock/metal

n.

1. A term that encompasses most all modern progressive rock or metal that places emphasis on time signature modulation and meter as opposed to dynamics, melody, or harmony. "Math rock/metal" encompasses everything from the jazzier leanings of post rock act Slint, to the phrase swapping and odd meters of the Dillinger Escape Plan, and even the hemiola and polyrhythm experiments of bands like Meshuggah and Tool.

2. A term often falsely described as "intelligent music" by people who simply regurgitate what they are told and apparently have no idea how to count.

Math rock/metal requires concentration.

Math Rocking

When you sit in your room contemplating your sexuality to the smooth tones of depressed men.

I always see Jason Math Rocking on Discord, maybe I should check on him.

When Jamal is Math Rocking he says it feels like there's 6 men in his head and their fighting for a casting couch.

mathrock

Intentionally using numbers and formulas to create music. The patterns usually consist of 1's and 2's with accents on the 1's; Using any rhythmic pattern of chug-chugs to create an odd time-signature. Another common practice is to add or subtract a beat from an even time signature.

Don Caballero, Breadwinner, The Oxes, Farauet, and The Kickass are all examples of mathrock bands.
