"This song is a sad song if you listen the lyrics but that's not how you feel while you're listening" is like the thesis statement of twenty one pilots lol.
Every song is either a mellow banger or happy sounding, but they're almost all about struggle and strife

I really enjoy when someone reacts to twenty one pilots for the first time.

They are a duo: Tyler (vocals, songwriter, bass, keys/synth, ukulele, guitar, creative content) and Josh (drums and trumpet). They still live in Columbus OH where they were born and raised. The video was filmed with their actual families in their childhood homes. Tyler shared a room with his brother, which is why he was in the bedroom scene with them.

A lot of their music deals with struggles with depression, anxiety, and insecurities. The character of Blurryface (the name of this album) is a personification of Tyler’s insecurities and the black paint represents the almost suffocating like control Blurryface has over what he creates (throat: voice and hands: what he writes and performs). The pitched down vocal and red are Blurryface.

But even though many of the lyrics tackle serious topics and issues, they have a way of making the music very uplifting. And their live shows take it to the next level!

I hope you continue the TØP journey! I would recommend these next:

- Car Radio
- Migraine (some serious bars!)
- Lane Boy
- Fairly Local
- Holding Onto You (Live From Fox Theater)
- Heavydirtysoul (this song is the bridge between the Blurryface album and the Trench Era, which is amazing but you will appreciate it more once you have explored their older music. Nearly everything is interconnected.)

The other thing you will discover is they don’t really have a genre. Their sound is very eclectic. It’s a fun journey!

Don't feel bad about pausing, the reactors who just watch a whole video silently and go "Ah yeah that was cool" and then end are practically stealing content from the original posters of the video. The point of a Fair Use reaction is to provide something transformative, and you're actually pausing and taking the time to share your thoughts and insights are what make this ACTUAL content and not just lazy "lemme make money while watching YT videos I would've watched anyway". I just found your channel and I appreciate your commentary, so you've got a new viewer out of me :)

I had a horrific childhood. It would be a nightmare to go back to that time; but I understand this song. I survived my childhood because of my brother (that candle bar cuts deep). Adult problens put distance between us later on but as children? We'd go to war for eachother. We took beatings for eachother. We went hungry for eachother. I'd give almost anything to turn back time to those days. Tragically, he was murdered a couple months after his 30th birthday and sometimes a certain smell brings him back to me.

“My Name Is Blurry Face, And I Care What You Think” It’s A Metaphor For Anxiety🤯 Im Only Just Now Realizing All Of This.

"The song is a sad song, but that's not how yoy feel when you're listening to it. " - Is basically what twenty one pilots is about. They sing a lot about mental health and how it affects them, especially Tyler (the singer, writer, composer, mixer, multi instrumentalist and genious) who's been dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety and thoughts about suicide. And they have helped A LOT of people struggle through mental illness. I think that is one of the main reasons why their fanbase is so loyal. Also because of how true Tyler and Josh (the amasing drummer and a very big part of twenty one pilots) are to themselves, by not being corrupted by the indutries, but instead going they own way! --> "Lane boy" is all about that! One of all great songs by them!

The black print on his neck and hands represent his insecurities (along with blurryface, which is a red thread throug their music), in his creativity and voice. Red is blurryface's colour.

Oh and the genre is Twenty one pilots ^.^

Keep on doing your great work! Love your reaction! =D

Love from Norway! <3

Paint on Tyler's hands and neck is a representation of Blurryface - this album is Blurryface and its a concept album where Tyler is constantly battling Blurryface which is the personification of all his insecurities, bad thoughts, etc - the black on his hands and neck is him trying to cover up insecurities in his music (vocals and writing)

"...I'd probably only sell one... give it to my brother..Cuz we got the same nose" is a 🔥🔥 bar too 😤

The entire Blurryface album is a masterpiece.

Car Radio by them is my favorite! 💚❤️💜

Best rabbit hole to fall into, enjoy the trip. They are like no others..

I like how they have their families in the video

Bro, you had it at the beginning when you asked "what are they, 5?" Yes. That's what the whole video is, it's what they were doing as kids. He'd go to his buddy's house and hang with him and his older brother listen to music, then him and his buddy would go back to his place and hang out with his brother listening to music....

Get used to that. These guys can have every genre in one song 😂

Your gonna love these guys!!!!

The concept of the video is dreaming about childhood. The scene where they are in beds and their families are around them screaming, "wake up you need to make money," is reality and everything else in the video, them in their hometown, hanging out in each other's houses, drinking caprisun's and riding big wheels, is their dreams about their childhood, when they had zero responsibilities, that they wish they could go back.

😲😲😲😲😲. Yessss!!! Heathens, trees (live from fox theatre), chemical, heavy dirty soul. Gotta hit those polo!

"ODE TO SLEEP", "LANE BOY", has explanation  of who the are. TOP has no genre,  they can't even categories themselves.  Black paint is for Tyler's insecurities,  so we can see them too. Drummer Josh, talented,  but very shy, also has his demons, l8ke most of us. THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO TOP!!!

Love the reaction. Next Car Radio, Lane Boy and Ode to Sleep for introduction :)
