a complete guide to twenty one pilots lore

From the HeavyDirtySoul MV to the Paladin Strait Trailer, I talk about it all!

Corrections:
• 3min 50sec -Obviously, the song “Migraine” is on their album “Vessel” and not “Blurryface.”
•Turns out that was not KEONS in the Paladin Strait video, but just one of the other 7 Bishops (excluding Nico)

To do research for an hour long video, talk for an hour long video, and then edit an hour long video is quite the dedication.

[epiphanyedits]

only thing i have to say about tøp is that at my work we play a general radio station and stressed out plays about every 30 minutes and at this point *IM* the one stressed out. it has driven me into a level of insanity that one can not explain. i am down on my knees. i am begging. i am sobbing. i am throwing up. please free me. please give the radio station something new to play. please give the radio station the rights to vignette

[adamcahill]

Oh man, I'm always impressed when someone tries to condense all the lore. Props to you.

[math_textbook_lobster]

Watching this whole thing For my brother who really really loves the lore and the music so I can talk to him abt it and actually engaging in his conversations, thanks!

[veronicagable]

i’ve been trying so hard to find videos that clearly detailed everything with the lore bc even though i’ve been here since the release of trench, i only knew the bare minimum of the story so thank you for making this. after finally reading all the clancy letters, i’m a little confused about his association with the banditos bc i thought he joined them but in the letter detailing the events of the jumpsuit music video, it sounds like he didn’t even know who they were at that time. it’s possible that i missed a detail though

[OldStreetLights]

Thank you! I've been a fan for a while but just recently realized there was lore and wanted to learn it. I watched out of order videos and this helps set everything strait!

[ellamorgan]

I was the absolute hugest fan of top when I was a young teenager. When I first found your channel recently, I honestly saw a lot of myself in you I think we are somewhat similar. And then I found this video…good god

[thisdudejared]

I love this video 100% i understand everything now but. NOT THE SAI SLANDER LMAOO

[algovec]

nico isn't in named in stressed out because by then he was still referred to as blurryface. And blurryface is literally said in the song.

[audreylangston]

I'm going to their concert in October with my friend (long time tøp fan) and I'm srudying in anticipation...this is fascinating and you did a great job of explaining everything!

[radpie]

it’s been a while and i need to catch up on the lore. thank you so much 🙃❤️ top was my entire middle school experience. i missed the lore.

[thefoodispoizon]

as someone who is in the military currently struggling demons and having to come to a bunch of realizations at once due to it(that’s as vague as i can say the emotions are so passionate), your words hit me 10x heavier w that. thank you so so much for sharing.

[books_are_life]

[smileylikesbooks]
