[@asheri_yeemo6080]

So proud of Josh accepting the award by himself❤❤

[@Whysofunny22]

First appearance of DEMA.

[@t3npm678]

They referenced it in one of their blurryface songs I think it was doubt when he said Gnawing on the bishops claw away of their system repeating simple frases

[@user-vp1ql4hv5b]

I wonder if they planed this whole thing right before that moment, like they said if they are actually the most dedicated fan base then we gonna give them this map and code and a lot of small hints for they to solve and only when they do it we'll release the next album

[@dinacruz2640]

I'm not o-fucking-yee THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WONDERING

[@toritori2299]

He also said Tyler is cutting ties with Dema. This had to be planned!

[@creepandweirdo]

THATS MY BABY JOSHUA AWW IM SO FLIPPIN PROUD HE DID IT WE DID IT OMG IM GONNA EAT A JAR OF NUTELLA AND TAKE A BUBBLE BATH AHHHHHHH

[@xThePinkApple]

"severing ties with dema" I love this cryptic band

[@waytoobiased]

you got it before anyone else, congrats

[@beeboislove7644]

he frickin killed it “i go to every show, i stay at the venue till the bus leaves every night, i attend every sound check, and i go to every meet and greet!”

[@notethan_]

2:00 You can pinpoint the exact moment the Trench era began

[@kassymele3619]

here's jish wearing his merch again

[@faith-rh2wz]

when no one in the crowd even questioned “dema” they were just completely silent

[@adrianagzz917]

I just now realized that if they didn't win this award, Josh wouldn't have been able to say that Tyler was severing ties with DEMA and that's really important when it comes to the hiatus.

[@humanforawhile]

JoshDunIsPrettyRAD 21 I'm shaking, you are right I hadn't thought about that

[@beccarobichaud8897]

remember when he said "he's off severing ties with dema" and set the entire clique on fire

[@Kris-xg6cu]

the fact that they based this first part of lore for trench depending on if they won or not is a gamble but it paid out well

[@smugcrescent1112]

How about that Tower of Silence amirite

[@TKDLime88]

2:00 "Tyler wishes he could be here. He's actually off severing ties with DEMA." They've been planning this for SO DAMN LONG.

[@agentwrench]

Josh foreshadowing Trench mission accomplished

[@ginagoodfellow603]

“he’s off severing ties with dema” um umm UMM I CANT ANYMORE HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN PLANNEDDDD

[@formemories8891]

ever since a car, a torch, a death (the name of the song even gave hints to the music videos)

The way josh got up there by himself, chewed his gum and gave an awesome speech... makes me smile l-/

[@angelicamazyn4293]

Jishwa

[@lexmarie9021]

I'm so happy for Josh, making a speech on stage ❤️ I have anxiety too and it is really hard sometimes. You can tell he's nervous by saying "um" and pauses a lot. He also says "I hate standing by this mic." But little does Josh know, he's inspired me, he's showed that if he can go up on stage and play drums for hundreds of thousands, I can go up and sing in front of hundreds. Sure, I might look like the girl onstage gripping her ukulele, but I know I can do it. I've had anxiety since I was 6. I used to love performing when I was younger, before my anxiety, but when I developed it I had full on attacks, heck, I still do. But this guy, Josh Dun, has made me go past my comfort zone. I now have a singing gig on Saturday and next Friday. I started taking lessons even though I'm pretty good at singing, and now on Saturday, I'm singing in front of the mayor. My point is, if I never heard about twenty one pilots, I wouldn't be here today.

[@idae.g9780]

Lexi Marie Good luck with your singing gigs!

[@lexmarie9021]

Ida Eltvik Grønnerød Thanks fren |-/ I hope you have a great rest of your day!

[@itspousseynotpussy3314]

When is josh not chewing gum

[@evyta1236]

Its Poussey Not Pussy it helps with his anxiety

[@itspousseynotpussy3314]

evyta1236 I know, it helps with mine too actually

[@QueenAnnabell]

[@pennyl8006]

augh all i could think was how much it must've taken for him to get up on that stage BY HIMSELF and talk in that microphone😭💛💛💛

[@anitaundergound]

"severing ties with Dema" bro opened the lore portal

[@catwadogsname]

THE CLIQUE IS SO FUCKING PROUD OF JISHWA AHHHHHHHH JISWA IS THE BIGGEST TØP FAN *JISH IS NUMBER ONE*

[@itsamemadi]

s e v e r i n g t i e s w i t h d e m a

[@kathrynmanning737]

Why can't I stop smiling right now!😃

[@ellieg6710]

I love top but they really shouldn't of been put in this category with much smaller bands like Pvris, it was so obvious that top would win

[@sugarcranes9882]

Nick Libitka Would it be? I feel like TØP has built such an empire it would be a miracle if they didnt win

[@bluvillage]

Ellie Genshlea Melanie and Paramore definitely had a chance to win. Plus (I'm not a fan I'm just saying this from what I know about the band) pvris has been a band for like 3 years? Twenty one pilots built this fanbase with twelve people in their audience to perform MSG 5 years later. They built such a strong fan base it's like illegal for them to not win.

[@ellieg6710]

; mvck ; you said that Melanie and paramore had a chance to win and then you said that it would be a miracle for top not to win??

[@bluvillage]

Ellie Genshlea basically what I am saying is that other small bands/artists could have had a well chance of winning. But TØP has too much of a hue fanbase for others to win. Sorry if that wasn't clear

[@pagmtept7648]

Ellie Genshlea I can see the argument where their fans make up a majority, but when we talk about dedication, there really isn't any contest. I've never seen such a large group of fans hold on to every word of every song, spend huge amounts of money to print out signs for others to have at shows, or have physical AND digital copies of a band's CDs before. The Clique is a marvelous group for the most part, and their shows prove it to me. (I've been to a lot of concerts and festivals, so I've seen what other shows are like. Nothing really compares lol.)
