American musical duo from Columbus, Ohio, formed in 2009. Core members: Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun. Known for blending pop, rock, hip-hop and electronic elements and for recurring narrative themes in their albums.

Formed in 2009 in Columbus, Ohio. Members: Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun. Signed to Fueled by Ramen. Breakthrough with Blurryface (2015) featuring the singles "Stressed Out" and "Ride".

DeBaser reviews trace twenty one pilots' arc from breakthrough pop-rap/reggae moments on Blurryface to the concept-rich Trench, the divisive Scaled and Icy, and the varied, lore-touching Clancy. Critics praise songwriting and variety while noting uneven production choices and promotional misdirections. Overall reception skews positive with reservations.

For:Listeners interested in alternative pop/rock, conceptual albums, and themes of anxiety and fandom lore.

 The intertwining of this narrative with the more personal (and at the same time universal) one about anxiety and insecurities was likely the key to the success of "Blurryface" (2015), driven by the musically chilling singles "Stressed Out" and "Ride".

 So I tell you... In a future museum of pre-evolutionary music, this CD will be placed between "Quadrophenia" by The Who and "The Wall" by Pink Floyd. Goodness me!
