Panic! At the Disco is a band that used to consist of Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross, Dallon Weekes, Spencer Smith, Jon Walker, and Brent Wilson until 2016. After that, Brendon Urie is left the only member of the band.
Ever since the band was left with Brendon, the other members have moved on to new bands.
"What does it say about you that everyone else has left your band? Because you do seem like a reasonable person. And yet ..." an interviewer trails off, letting Brendon answer.
"I must have done something really crazy. I don't know what it was. Everybody wanted out from the Panic thing. I mean, I respect it; anytime anyone wanted to leave, the reasons were there, so it wasn't just a 'fuck you'."
With that said, does it sound right? He gave an honest answer, which shows how hostile it was to be left in the band.
Most of the problematic doings have nothing to do with their music, but mostly the members themselves. Although, there are a few features within songs that could be pointed out. Even still, the majority has to do with the creators themselves.
Miss Jackson
Some people have a problem with how Miss Jackson is portrayed as, especially since the song is a reference to Janet Jackson. Within the video, Miss Jackson is wearing headgear, which is most likely traditional.
Within official narration by Brendon Urie, it was stated that the song was based on real events.
"The songs I was writing came from me seeing Vegas in a new light; I mean, when we left Vegas, we were 17, 18 and we were pretty bitter because we couldn't do all the things everyone else could; we couldn't play gigs, we weren't allowed in the bars, so we were pissed off," he said.
"But in the past couple years I've visited Vegas quite a bit, and I started doing things I never thought I would do, like going out to clubs, and for some reason that really struck a chord with me. People go there to lose themselves in the moment and drop their guard, and it hit me in a way. Like, 'Wow, I want to do that. I want to make music like that, [which moves] people, that's a party, that makes you feel good.'"
