Vanishing of weight-two level-one modular forms (M2​(SL2​(Z))=0)

A weight-two modular form obeys f(i)=i2f(i)=−f(i), so it vanishes at i. The valence formula for the modular group would then have left side at least 1/2, but right side 2/12=1/6. All orders are nonnegative by holomorphy, giving a contradiction for nonzero f.
