    wikipedia is pretty bad about subgenres

    Also, some good math rock bands are Don Caballero and Slint. Both released some amazing albums.

    While very different, if you can handle harsher stuff, there's a lot of killer bands labeled "mathcore"
    Not removing this until we get some Sunn O)))
    in which case this will be on for a while.

    I'm aware that Wikipedia is a thing that exists, thanks. I was looking for a personal explanation from a devotee, one that might be a little less long-winded and clinical, and make a little more sense.

    Such as that! Thank you.

    Math rock tends to be, though not always, more dissonant than standard prog rock, as well.

    Not sure how to respond to this, but maybe this will help...

    Hardcore Punk ---> Post-Hardcore ---> Math Rock
