Why so rude? You really think Meshuggah is some profound group? Do you have any background in classical music? European screamo bands are just the worst. And personally people I've met from that scene rarely understand even the basics of rhythm. So your comment does not match my experience at all.
I've been playing piano for over 40 years and other instruments almost as long. I'm a massive fan of classical music. If you think metal bands don't understand rhythm you obviously haven't listened to much.
I'm not claiming any band to be profound, but many have complex interplay between multiple rhythms, very non standard chord progressions, often non standard tunings, and even microtonal instrumentation.
You seem to be stuck in a world where everyone from Stockhausen suddenly stopped learning music theory. I'm telling you that you're wrong, and obviously not listening to enough modern music.
Stop being a music snob. You are free to like whatever you want but making glaringly incorrect statements about an entire time period encompassing many genres is going to get push back.
Why so rude? This site is ridiculous. You made statements about two entire periods, the current period and the past. Additionally, I am not a snob and I have listened to a lot. I won't even bother to get into this. My college roommate had thousands of records and forced me to listen to all of them.
