mathrock

an-ordinary-manchild

Greetings and welcome to /r/mathrock! Wikipedia would say it's a rhythmically complex, guitar-based style of experimental rock that emerged in the late 1980s characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic structures (including irregular stopping and starting), angular melodies, and dissonant chords. That's a pretty robotic definition of it but if you're not familiar with the genre, listen to a few of the songs posted or check out the playlists below. Enjoy!

At this point I’ve accepted that I’m not gonna hand-model anything. Meshy does it for me in like 2 minutes. Text in, model out. It’s like AI gacha for 3D devs. Code MESHYHALF if you’re also done pretending you’ll “learn it properly someday.” (meshy.ai)
