From wikipedia: Math rock is a rhythmically complex, guitar-based style of experimental rock that emerged in the late 1980s. It is characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic structures (including irregular stopping and starting), angular melodies, and dissonant chords.

no way. heavy metal is closer to classical. math rock has just too many technical differences to classical

I have to agree. A lot of math rock is pretty aggressive, I don't see a connection at all. Metal either, for that matter.

I think IDM (or cerebral electronic music as a whole) is far more like modern classical music.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
