basic is extremely cliche while this more flavored got bit too unfocused at the end. it's amazingly inspiring video btw and since my musicianship sucks and I don't want to spend my life perfecting bass techniques instead of writing good songs I resolve to tricks like you. simple riff + extra spice while playing it like adding pick slides, sudden chordal unisons with guitar, 8th note trills, rhythmic pattern changes while staying on the same notes and all other stuff you showed. Funk bass songwriting styles inspires me a lot. As long as you play root note on downbeat (especially while letting it breathe for quarter note length or even longer) riff will sound a lot more cohesive even when it's full of chromatic and off-key stuff.
I believe as a guitar player letting the drums or bass breathe like that makes the music sound less sterile/more human. That's why I've always liked drummers who play behind the beat. It sounds less robotic. When you've got a good rhythm section let them stand out. Don't step all over it with unnecessary guitar notes. the first thing I hear when I listen to a song is the rhythm section. I love a great rhythm section but was always a horrible horrible drummer so playing guitar/screaming became my only way in.
This is pretty much how I learned playing guitar just from listening to records and trying to play what I thought they were playing. but I could never figure it out and never once played a cover. I gave up playing guitar for many years because I thought there's no way all of these great songs were this easy to play. I thought there must be something they have learned that I had not learned yet. I never thought to look up videos on TH-cam. Now I understand it's not how complicated the rifts are but what you can do with them to make them your own. The appeal of this type of music is that it is easy to play the common man can pick up a guitar and write songs and lyrics that are meaningful to them without taking years and years of guitar practice or learn music theory in order to do it.

"how to unpunk your riff in 5 steps". seriously, punk needs no tech shenanigans, while the riff still remains just a basic riff
Just because you have the option, doesn't mean you have to use it, right?
