I don't see how shuffling a couple of columns around on a gameboy screen makes anyone more or less legit tbh.
Also very true IMO

I thought this was an honest and really nice interview for a great release. If I didn't know IAYD before, this review would totally make me check it out as a fan of 8bit and modern electronic music

Don't worry about what you are "considered," genre or performance wise. 
A live show is about the experience, the feeling and the atmosphere. You could be the busiest person on stage and it still wouldn't matter if your production is weak or if the songs aren't good. It's common to feel like you'd have to keep yourself busy to make it "feel more like a performance," but I think this is a rookie mistake to be honest. People seeing you perform at live show is much different from people watching a video of you on youtube - for example, they aren't going to be staring at everything you're doing on the table. A youtube video gives a hundred people the same view of your rig, but in reality this would be limited to only the people closest to the stage at a live gig. Many people won't even be looking or even care what you're doing - they just want to hear and feel good music pumping out of a nice system and they want to see a person taking ownership of presenting that music to them. I think the sooner you begin to think about what's interesting for a person on the floor and not what's interesting for you on stage is when you really start to nail it down.
Put yourself in the shoes of someone else that night - would they want to observe your performance from a technical perspective or would they want to enjoy the general atmosphere? Obviously this changes from show to show, venue to venue, and city to city but I definitely think this is worth considering about way more than considering the validity. Try everything and think of ways you can present the music each time - you'll love the trial and error and you will definitely find a way that works best for you!
tl;dr - you can perform in any way you want to. live performance is a presentation unique to each individual person and not a rigidly defined standard

Re: How Is The Drummer Counting This?? (22 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Sorry for the double post but this is kinda referring to my Tera Melos post before:
I actually count things kinda weird. I don't count by the measure, I count by the beat. So everything to me is 1/4 I guess, and then when a smaller/larger subdivision occurs I then use that to count upwards.
So a pattern of 3/4, 5/8, and then 4/4 to me would just be:
one, one, one, 1-2-3-4-5, one, one, one, one
So basically I only use numbers other than "1" when it's not a traditional quarter beat. For me it simplifies what you're thinking about because even counting is still an active mathematical process that takes mental ability. This makes it really easier for me to write and play the super complicated stuff because you're no longer adding up numbers to the bar but taking the "buffer size" down to a single beat and working from there. That's how the Tera Melos guys do it sometimes and it's how they're able to seamlessly add/remove a beat into certain parts. They're not focused on the groove of the measure but instead each individual beat.
Of course, you'll likely never write anything dance-able with this thought process. But this is math rock I'm talking about here, you don't dance - you spaz

This version is WAY BETTER tho IMO - they are so much better of a band now that they lost the techmetal edgey aesthetic and went way more "hella gnar"
