It's one of those terms that was very briefly in vogue (about a decade
ago, actually) but never broke out, largely because it's kind of dumb.
But as far as I could tell, math rock was mostly instrumental, all
about the time-signature shifts and mostly played really fast.
Basically, think of indie kids emulating King Crimson's LARKS TONGUES
IN ASPIC. I think Polvo was supposedly the quintessential math rock
band.
