mathcore
mathcore aka math metal is a form of hardcore and metal that employs unorthodox chords and time signatures as well as poly-rhythms. mathcore bands often quickly change from part to part with some exceptions such as meshuggah. early mathcore was very atonal and was mostly discordant atonal parts. however bands like dillinger escape plan have started to add electronics and clean passages to their music. tapping is a popular technique among mathcore bands because of its unorthodox sound. bands like psyopus have gone so far as only to use tapping.
mathcore styles vary greatly due to the individuality that is the scene commends.some of the more melodic mathcore bands include the dillinger escape plan. other math core bands stick to guitar stunts and crazy parts like psyopus. bands like meshuggah use low heavy poly-rhythmic parts to make their sound. bands like evrytime i die keep a rockin feel but throw in unorthodox chords and parts to make them math metal
mathcores influence can be seen in many genres. bands like Lamb of god use out of scale odd time signatures on songs like hourglass. bands like the fall of troy use some of the same techniques as math rockers. finally meshuggah has become the favorite artist of prog metalers like tool and porcupine tree

Mathole
(Math-hole, emulating asshole) Matholes are those kids in advanced math classes who claim to be able to help you with your math homework and that they're the best at math, and then tell you that they forgot that chapter when you actually present them with the assignment.
Matholes like to talk about all the fancy things they're currently doing in their glorious advanced math class, but usually cannot help you with your regular math homework. Do not even ask.
Matholes are annoying despite the fact that you probably have a few of them for friends, which doubles the annoyance. You're not bitter that you aren't taking their advanced math class, too; you're just rightfully pissed that they proclaim to be the math god{dess} but cannot help you with your "simple, easy" homework.

Mathole: "And tomorrow we're talking about {insert fancy pants math subject here}! Oh man, I love math. I'm so good at it. No one is better than me!"
Mathole's friend: "Oh, maybe you could help me with {regular math subject}?"
Mathole: "Oh... uh, I was sick that day. I don't remember it.*moves on to tell a fellow mathole an inside math joke that no one appreciates except those hopelessly enslaved to matholedom*"
Mathole's justifiably irritated friend: "*thinks* I wish my friend wasn't such a mathole."
