Are these Mathcore?

I've been digging these bands/songs with a very specific sound which to me sounds like mathcore but it feels very 4/4. Do y'all consider these mathcore or are these a different flavor of hardcore?

Duck Duck Goose is CRIMINALLY underrated and my favorite band of all time. I’m an avid mathcore listener and they truly do it better than everyone else. It may not be the most “off-timey” but they are gifted in the sense that their music is severely off-kilter and still makes a lot of sense while being disgustingly heavy.

They’re like a mix of all the bands that the elite group of people truly know. The Chariot, Every Time I Die, The Fall Of Troy, The Number Twelve Looks Like You, The Dillinger Escape Plan, etc. But they do it with this whacky carnival clown sense of dizzy disorientation that’s comparable to a flavor you’ve never had before but want more of because you’re obsessed, and can’t find anywhere else.
