Steps to play math rock: 1. Get a guitar 2. Learn every Covet song in existence Jokes aside, thanks for sharing such incredible music with us, Yvette! I just began listening to you a few months ago, and I simply don't have words to describe how your music makes me feel. It's truly amazing. Thanks again, and have a great day! God bless!
I like how this video is called “the guy who probably invented math rock” and not “probably the guy who invented math rock”, implying that Mike knew this guy and could only assume that he invented math rock based on his personality lol

There are claims that Pythagoras lesser known geometric theorems included formulas applying to music and the only reason they failed was scales that became popularized standards that deviated from numerical order without logic. A prominent lute player disagreed and was able to rock the panties off the oracle at Delphi using only the pentatonic scale and in turn in 515 bc started a revolt among the thousands of bards hoping to get gigs and get laid and Pythagoras went back to less socially volatile applied mechanics and descriptive geometry. Thank goodness. Lol
A friend of mine once posted a tab of a Dillinger Escape Plan song and it was basically "Set washing machine on Warm Cycle and throw in five pieces of cutlery and three running shoes"
I love your sense of musician humor, I have found it to very healing in a time when I think the world has gone crazy. You’ve brought a sense of peace to my soul!
Loved this so much. Yvette for sure is a massive inspiration to me, I love her attitude towards music and her story. There's an interview in which she described her background in competitive classical piano, and when she learned the guitar it was an opportunity to escape that culture of "who's better at being technically the best"
Yeah, but now she's technically the best and I'm here with 10 years of guitar experience basically doing the 4 chords lol. (btw not knocking Yvette, she's literally the best)
The thing that bothers me about that is they're typically all competing to see who the best cover artist is. Tell me I'm wrong 9 out of 10 professional classical musician spent their entire lives practicing someone else's songs and they get paid to play covers. I'd be tired of The Who's better game, as well.
Crazy how Yvette Young is such a household name. I remember like 10 years ago she'd just post pics or videos of her cat, or piano. Or sing on her acoustic guitar. I mean she still does this stuff but wow. So sick!
Likely due to how a lot of Midwest Emo bands were inspired by early Math Rock. Capn Jazz was probably the first to mix early midwest emo and early math rock into one cohesive sound, before that bands like Slint, Don Caballero, and others were distinctly different than your Mineral, Sunny Day Real Estate, and such.
@@mickidoesmedia can't argue with this. People got a bit fed up with it so started that 'Dark Chaotic Math Rock' group where the original gnarly, less formulaic math/weirdass heads could kick back against that. It's all good but the twinkly stuff is getting waaay repetitive. And not very mathy tbh.
the guy who probably invented math rock: "um... my name is Yvette and I play guitar in a band called Covet. Uh, today I'm gonna be performing one of our songs called Shibuya for you..."
yeah, my theory is it stems from emo/midwest/hxc. there were always some small segments of math-esque parts in that genre, and ppl liked those parts so much bands started to make entire songs around it.
True but also Heinrich, if ever asked, will ramble on for about 8 bars about how Discipline by King Crimson is the only song to ever exist (he learned of this song 4 years after he started playing math Rock)
Tim/Mike Kinsella formed Cap’n Jazz in ‘89 Massacre’s Killing Time was released in ‘81 NoMeansNo was formed in ‘79 King Crimson’s Red was released in ‘74
Steps to playing math rock: 1. Buy a tele 2. Buy pedals 3. Become hopelessly depressed and listen to American Football or Tiny Moving Parts to cope 4. Copy what they do
lol I have a jazzmaster! I play(ed) Math Rock but now I play weird black metal/tech death/melodic hardcore. I have liked it since highschool (31 now) but honestly the fans / social media scene are the worst and the appeal of tapping wears off fast. There's more than one technique. They're like anime fans ahhahaha
"Heinrich was a blues and jazz cat" "Im a blues and jazz cat" "But Heinrich was tired of the structure of blues and Jazz culture" "Im really tired of the structure of blues and jazz"
Straight up though 😂😂😂

I love you!
I love playing shibuya and parachute.
very fun to play on guitar 🎸 😍😍
omg yvette
Disappointed that he didn't literally use mathematics to write a guitar riff, thus creating math rock.
every riff you make you *technically* use mathematics to write out.
@@thc_freebaser the only math that goes into music is counting. The most basic component of mathematics.
@@mhm6 Count to infinity if its so easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we'll leave that to rudy

Hey everyone I found the virgin
huh 😂
Dude, that's some serious writing creativity. You should look into honing that craft!
Guys we are living in the end times rn
Jesus can return anytime soon. SO PLEASE TURN TO THE LORD
He's waiting and Loves you very much ✝️
I'm calling the cops

Math rock guitarists: WRITE THAT DOWN AND RECORD IT.
A friend of mine once posted a tab of a Dillinger Escape Plan song and it was basically "Set washing machine on Warm Cycle and throw in five pieces of cutlery and three running shoes"
Heinrich went on to start an instagram page
He indeed did
I am happy to see an influential rapper from my teens here
ok verified
Legend says Heinrich started a band called Slint in the late 80s
And his younger cousin went on to play in Don Caballero lol

Yoo Yvette Young is also a huge inspiration to me
Yet her style has been around since even before Stu Hamm. Math rock is what weaboos call Asians playing guitars.
@@moustachio334 What? Is that a meme? Because as far as i know, she's only following onto the steps of others before her.

I about spit my soda out @“He only followed Yvette Young!!”
Covet rocks!!
Seeing them in London next week! All i can think about
That made me laugh, too.
She is a great guitarist... and pianist too🤟
I saw covet in leeds a few days ago. They tried to keep a moshpit going for the entire set. It was weird
Real tho
Looks like the desire to break the mold turned into something he Never Meant
0:24 Man's a different kind of species to be bored of jazz's structure...
You're hilarious and amazing, bro. Please keep em' coming! Cheers, mate!
Mike, you are a hard-working man with a ton of ideas. Keep at it!
“I’m a blues and jazz CAT” lmao

im so proud of her
I have no freakin clue who that is
@@bepisthebenis5111look her up dude she’s crazy good
I get to see her live in just a few days and I'm so happy, she's one of my favourite guitarists she's so good
@@quetzalcoatl8167yesss
“He shed his blazer” lmaoo
This is golden! That ending 😂
This was hilarious. Great job. Looking forward to watching other videos.
I cracked up at the Yvette Young comment at the end lol this man is a genius
Feel like there’s been a trend of using math rock and Midwest emo interchangeably
I'll believe this once I see a trend of "math rock intros be like..." on RUclips
Likely due to how a lot of Midwest Emo bands were inspired by early Math Rock. Capn Jazz was probably the first to mix early midwest emo and early math rock into one cohesive sound, before that bands like Slint, Don Caballero, and others were distinctly different than your Mineral, Sunny Day Real Estate, and such.

Heinrich has such enthusiasm for his movement!
Now we need one on how blues rock was invented
some pale kids in britain bought a bunch of obscure discounted blues records from the states, and then everyone just kinda went HAM on it
well, we need to ask Elvis’s friends
I didn't know Cookie from Ned's Declassified invented math rock wow!
Love it mate superb, all done with great humour, and some excellent playing
And then along came Dillinger Escape Plan
If he lived in Florida, he would have made Meth Rock.
At first, I thought you were funny but your channel didn't have staying power. But now? Now I am a believer.
Funny 😂😅😂. You played that riff super clean!
the guy who probably invented math rock:
"um... my name is Yvette and I play guitar in a band called Covet. Uh, today I'm gonna be performing one of our songs called Shibuya for you..."
Yvette is a guy? Damn, so this is how I find out I'm gay...
The Heinrich interventions and IG quip at the end were just brilliant!😂
This is like a very short, sober episode of Drunk History. Thank you!
Always a strat to the tele 😂
Mike- Slint is from Kentucky.
As someone stranded in Ohio, i can confirm heimrich's existence.
Tim Henson moment
Tim literally plays in nothing but 4/4 I really don't understand why anyone calls him a math rock guitarist
@@aolien2739 yeah hes not math rock, idk what genre is does play tho
Polyphia isn't math rock
Fun fact math rock actually evolved from hardcore with bands like drive like jehu and got rid of the hardcore roots into the sound we know today
yeah, my theory is it stems from emo/midwest/hxc. there were always some small segments of math-esque parts in that genre, and ppl liked those parts so much bands started to make entire songs around it.
Drive like jehu!
King crimson anyone? Like hello
@@Takealiltripnsee They're progressive like pink floyd, but definitely helped with creating the genre
@@gramble968 like pink Floyd? Not sure you have listened to them thoroughly.
Robert Fripp

True but also Heinrich, if ever asked, will ramble on for about 8 bars about how Discipline by King Crimson is the only song to ever exist (he learned of this song 4 years after he started playing math Rock)
"He only followed Yvette Young..... and Ichika Nito"
very insightful .
You forgot the capo!
Tim/Mike Kinsella formed Cap’n Jazz in ‘89
Massacre’s Killing Time was released in ‘81
NoMeansNo was formed in ‘79
King Crimson’s Red was released in ‘74
Really nice playing, and then the two title cards at the end GOT ME hahahahahhahaha
Nooooo why did you stop, that sounded soooo good
The acting, ABSOLUTE CINEMA.
Seriously, it's time we talk about you putting out a video of you just jamming. We know you've got skills. Let us hear!
No he doesn’t have skill otherwise he’d have posted longer videos of his skill
@@danielsmith5262 orrr maybe it's just not the content he wants to make
Had to sign in to subscribe that’s how funny it was loved the video

Awesome video. Thanks, dude. Hope you and your family are safe and well. ❤️
as a math rock guitarist i approve lmao
This sounds more like the origin of shoegaze
Thanks for telling us slint's backstory!
distinct lack of hypotenuses
This was the first thing on youtube to make me laugh in a very long time
Thirteenth sound of Julian Carrillo
Still waiting on that Jazzmaster/Offset players be like video
lol I have a jazzmaster! I play(ed) Math Rock but now I play weird black metal/tech death/melodic hardcore. I have liked it since highschool (31 now) but honestly the fans / social media scene are the worst and the appeal of tapping wears off fast. There's more than one technique.

solid work one of your best
wait for tax rock
Allen Holdsworth is pretty much the complicated version of prog rock today. Rip Allen
I thought the band Polvo started math rock in the early 90's?
Slint predated them by a decade, but generally Don Caballero and Polvo did refine the ideas at the time.
He ended up as an inquisitorial interrogator in the Koronus expanse, hth.
Technical Death Metal is Calculus then
this video is sooo awsome, love it
I like you’re sense of humor, you got a like and sub!
That would be Robert Fripp.
in the very first second of the video the squeak of his chair sounds like a minecraft ghast
Lol he put on a ton of reverb 😂 I love it!
don’t forget the compressor lmao
everybody gangsta until heinrich trades his strap for a telly
"Heinrich was a blues and jazz cat"
"Im a blues and jazz cat"
"But Heinrich was tired of the structure of blues and Jazz culture"
"Im really tired of the structure of blues and jazz"
Keep it up man. Love the vids!
Mike I love your videos dude !
Heinrich being a former blues/jazz cat makes a lot of sense since math rock is basically jazz for white teens in beanies and flannel shirts.
the best math rock comes from japan
Sounds Awesome !!!! Well done !!!! I like it !!!
Heinrich also designed your guitar strap
Heinrich got stuck on those Mc Escher stairs after he was thrown into a portal by Pythagoras
Thank you Heinrich
That ending hahaha !
Excellent culture point tho man, thanks a lot for that :)
as a math rock fan this killed me
ok but now i want the full song please sir 😁
Is it me or the sound of this video is quite low? Enough to hear but goddamn man had to crank my speakers all the way up
He only followed Yvette Young. 😂😂
how does my man have the same tele and les paul as me
the "only followed yvette young" kills me 😂
This was a great video!
Damn you Heinrich!
the end had me rolling LMAOOO this is great
You still gotta play neon for us homie
Not gunna lie, this one went over my head just a bit.
Since this video I’ve been listening to math rock every single day
"In a galaxy far far away called OHIO" im dead
Damn you Heinrich!!
A Blue and Jazz Cat!
Dude you’re hilarious, this was great.
Pretty good ending there man. Good job
BUT also - "Hey there, Steve here" (:
“He only followed yvette” 😂
i read math as meth
You can’t just have your characters announce how they’re feeling. That makes me feel angry!
