"Math rock" is just another contrived term critics use to slot (and usually dismiss) musical efforts. Think about it. The terms "space-kraut-art-prog-math-post-out rock" do not necessarily suggest a musical style but evoke specific groups. If you dislike a group associated with one of these genresl, you may indeed dismiss others who were tagged with the label. Of course, they usually have nothing to do with each other. NP: Cluster - Curiousum ("krautrock")
