As far as I can tell, it's basically heavier prog, but I'm not sure. While I'm into genres that are tangentially related, prog/math stuff has never really been my scene, so YMMV.
Yeah, I like how it's a great way to describe a band's sound to others who are conversant with related genres, but it can be really opaque to newcomers. "Technical progressive space-death" and "blackened funeral doom" are very descriptive, but only if you know the proper context
To be clear, the real "dice dumbass" is the one who calls a singular die by its plural term. Followed closely by those that decree a paltry number of dice sets to be "enough" at any given moment. Stand fast, fellow shiny math rock fans! 🤘🏼🤓

Isn't that a style of rock music?

Not necessarily heavier, just more technical, usually with polyrhythms and funky time signatures.
Not necessarily heavier. Check out TTNG or Delta Sleep.
Yeah, I guess I was thinking of mathcore like Dillinger Escape Plan and Between the Buried and Me.
Fair enough. Genre names are pretty wild these days. Lol.

I like calling them shiny math rocks and will continue to do so.
I think this is sort of a joke about the genre math rock. At least, I hope it is, otherwise it's just dumb.

Goonies never say die.
The plural of dice is dicen
Okay. That's really funny
It is talking about our shiny clickety-clackety math rockses, my prescious.
