Math rock

Math rock is a genre of alternative rock characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic patterns, intricate guitar work, and unconventional song structures. It often features odd time signatures, syncopation, and precise, technical musicianship that results in a sound both experimental and rhythmically engaging. The genre’s name reflects its emphasis on mathematical precision in composition and performance. Originating in the late 1980s and early 1990s, math rock appeals to listeners who appreciate technical skill and innovative approaches to songwriting beyond traditional rock conventions.
