This definition is bullshit. All of the descriptions perfectly fit death metal as well.

Look close at the spellings I used.They are not generalizations as this isn't the definitive band roster but his favorite picks. That's quite a difference.
genre+generalization=genrelizationLook close at the spellings I used.
No, they don't perfectly fit "death metal." Tech death, sure. But would you say that description fit Six Feet Under, for example?
And just because the description could also be used to describe something else doesn't mean it is erroneous, just that the two things share intrinsic similarities.
I'm not saying it's erroneous, it's just incomplete and does not help people easily differentiate between math metal and, say, tech death.
