TØP TRASH

1; why I love TØP

First of all....

I SEND A BIG WELCOME TO ALL THE TWENTY ØNE PILØTS FANS THAT ARE HERE READING THIS NOW!

I'M SO HAPPY YOUR HERE FRIEND!

Please feel free to share what you love about TØP in the comments in this chapter, and comments on the rest of the chapter topics for that matter.
The clique is supposed to stick together, and I love hearing what Twenty Øne Piløts means to people, not just me.

What I love about TØP.... Wow, that's a good question. And I'm the one who asked myself that for the sake of this chapter! 😂

I do love Tyler and Josh dearly for their personalities. I love how they seem so laid back, like they'd be easy people to start a random conversation with in the checkout line at Walgreen's about gum flavors.

I love their sense of humour, and how they bounce off of each other's sentences and make a joke, although at times delivered with dry wit and an expressionless face, their jokes, although weird at times, make me laugh regardless. And I love how their so down to earth that they feel comfortable enough around each other to be like that.

AND I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP! ITS SUCH GOALS!!!!

LIKE SERIOUSLY.

Josh literally quit his job in order to play drums in Tyler's band.

HOW PRECIOUS IS THAT?!!!?!

That's amazing to me, it really is. To me, that's the way best friends should be. Looking out for each other, being there for each other, making the other one laugh. Helping the other with their anxieties.

And that leads me to my all time, number one, tippy top reason that I love TØP.

Their music.

There's nothing more soothing to me than listening to TØP music when I don't feel my best. I have issues with falling asleep, and often times I'll play Anathema, Kitchen Sink, Addict with a pen, Fall Away, or some other song of theirs, and it really helps calm my nerves.
The fact that their lyrics are so strongly based around things that I've gone thru, is what made me feel drawn to them in the first place.

I'll be honest.

I'd barely heard of TØP when Stressed Out came out.

I know I know, it may seem like I'm a fake fan, but at the time my head was buried in a deep musically deprived hole.
I listened to Stressed Out (love it regardless of the fake fans or his many times it plays on the radio) but I knew there was more to this band than that.
So I spent three hours on YouTube, selling my soul to two Ohio native momma's boys, and my life has never been the same.

What struck me the most though, seriously, was the message in the songs.
Tbh, a band that can turn the sentence "we're broken people" into a proud anthem instead of an emotionally crippling sentence, deserve so much more credit than the musical world gives them.
(*cough* as in, for example, playing more of their songs than just Stressed Out and Ride. And occasionally, Heathens.)

I've dealt with anxiety and emotional problems all my life, but those strongly increased when I was about 12.
At one point, I would shake so hard out of fear of being around people that my ears would ring, clasping my hands so hard together they would turn purple.
I just wish I would have found TØP when I needed them in my life those years ago.

I truly love and appreciate how theirs actual music out there that I can relate to, that says the words that I can't.
I'm sorry, but I'll never find any sort of emotional relation to "Hotline Bling" or "Super bass."
(If you listen to and enjoy that type of music, I mean no offense to you. Its just my soul is dripping in sarcasm)

I'll give more detail in fuller extent in chapters to come, but in the meantime, I'd love to hear why you love Twenty Øne Piløts.

"I ponder of something great,

My lungs will fill and then deflate.

They fill with fire exhale desire.

I know its dire my time today."
