    Maths references:
    It's math rock,
    It's 3:14 long,
    It's about a guy having a literal mental breakdown about whether to use sine or cosine,
    The synth is playing a sine wave,
    It's called mathletics,
    On and on is a reference to how sine/cosine goes on forever and how homework takes forever,

      technically because it has math in it, but math rock is its own genre. i never got far in school but i know a cosine wave goes up and down repeatedly or infinitely.
