Almost a decade ago I was going through a breakup and my roommate said "You're sad, that's OK. Wanna party?" and we went out and I heard Twenty One Pilots for the first time at the party. Whenever I hear their music I can't help but think "You're sad, that's OK. Wanna party?".

[@rebeccashirk1194]

Yes |-/ I need a top shirt with this on it

[@bree6159]

I love this! ❤️

[@Gennys]

I find it incredibly strange. How music and smells permeate the brain more than anything else that I've ever experienced. Everyone knows how cut grass smells just by mentioning it and everyone has their first heartbreak have a song.

[@Gennys]

It's immediate, almost constant in the fact that it's recalled instantly, what strange creatures we are.

[@Imidentifiednow]

That's great, good for you

[@matthewkay1456]

If you walk into a room with someone listening to this tune, then I believe they are all ready receiving a hug, from tyler and josh. Thats what their music does, make you realise you're not alone

[@yzzaJ]

Love it

[@matthewkay1456]

What are you introducing?

[@crptnite]

Yeah, mumble rap fans don't have the capacity to grasp the depth of the souls of clikkies, period.

[@gregheath8106]

I took my twin daughters to see these guys 5 years ago in Chicago for their 15th birthday. It was an amazing experience. These guys really know how to put on a show, and the fans know when to do certain things during certain songs to participate. Very cool.

[@zachkane7378]

Took my whole family to see them in Seattle this year, 5 and 10 years old daughters. Their first concert, IDK if anyone else will compare lol.

[@daletalbert1158]

Took my daughter and her friend a few years back as well. I didn't know any of their songs at the time. The concert was amazing regardless. I really like them now.

[@randyman1331]

You got lucky my youngest daughter picked Top concert and my wife won the coin toss, I had to go to Panic at the Disco with my oldest daughter.

[@6anthony8]

I was there also

[@marquisdelafayette1929]

@@zachkane7378 I remember in the 90s my friend and I went to our first concert together (second grade) to see the Backstreet Boys. My uncle works at a ticket agency scalping tickets. So he got us fifth row seats and we moved up and were on the side. We got all sorts of things like Nick Carters drumsticks, a rose from Howie, huge roll of graffiti paper that Aaron Carter used during his set. Then we went to every subsequent BSB concert sans my mom. Haha and I got really into wrestling and went to those.. fun stuff. But I also went to a lot of rock concerts in high school .. just because. It was a LOT cheaper back then.

[@boho_hippychick]

That crowd is Tyler's hug 🥰

[@staciemoisa4884]

This is the song that started my love for Twenty One Pilots! They are amazing!

[@danmorse2002]

Same. Heard this song in rehab believe it or not…. 2016, November. From that point on I’ve been clean and sober. Not just because of this song of course but also tons of hard work and discipline to being sober but all of their music has been a huge part of it.

[@staciemoisa4884]

@@danmorse2002 Congratulations! You should be proud of yourself. Music has that power, and their music has helped so many. You should write them and tell them. I'm sure your letter would reach them.

[@IanHumito]

"should i just walk in the trafic right now" I thought was so funny 😂. I think you will fit right in, in the skeleton clique. We try to find fun while we go trough a lot, and I just can't help to make this kind of jokes from time to time 😂.

[@dannythomas5485]

"Trees" live at fox theater. You will not be disappointed. I bet my life savings on it

[@TheExyle]

YES!

[@kimmcsharry4256]

Twenty One Pilots put on an amazing show. And when it does get to that upbeat part, everyone does start jumping like that. Tyler, the lead singer, did actually jump into the crowd like that too.

[@Ty-d]

Yes, this is from his journal. And it's also a real life event that happened to him. He basically adapted the music to his poem. This band tells a story through lyrics, videos, social media. Everything is connected. And there's a certain path you need to follow so you don't get lost and can appreciate the whole story they have created. And you will certainly never be able to fit them in a genre. They are all over the place with their music. And you will find that the lyrics are deeper than what they seem. From this same album you should try: -Ode to sleep (official video) -Holding on to you (live at Fox Theater) -Migrane (official video) -Guns for Hands (official video) -Trees (live at Fox Theater)

[@crptnite]

Thank you :)

[@prestonsherwood7973]

As a fan of twenty one pilots, each one of their songs has a deep meaning. Every song has a message, from their self titled album all the way up to scaled and icy. They’re such great artists, josh puts so much passion into playing the drums and Tyler is such a great artist.

[@ericstockman7405]

They just did a live tonight for a 10 year anniversary of this album and they explained how they got everybody to cooperate They're from Columbus too

[@525569andrea]

“What can I do to cheer myself up? 21 Pilots!” Lmaoooo oh yeah..this one’s different 😂👌🏼

[@llorelleyrhinestone5590]

that reaction of "if i walk into a room and hear you listen to this, i'll just offer you to let me get you a hug"... even before i finished watching, this earned you a new follower just now. one whole person more to follow you, yaaay! good job! :D also, if you need a cheer up, maybe "Car Radio" isn't the best choice to listen to from them, or in general. it's really is a song that's kinda adding to the daily struggles, i usually feel~ but a nice choice for a first listen to them for sure. so, that balances itself, i guess.

[@toby.0913]

I also like how the music fits the lyrics perfectly. When the instrumentals are slower and quiet, you have all these lyrics going on that make you think about stuff and are sad. But when it gets loud at the bridge, it's suddenly energetic and makes you want to dance, etc. Kinda ties into the whole "quiet is violent" theme, which gets shoved at your face with the ending with it getting "quieter" again, closing it with the chorus again.

[@GarnetJ]

I love “Hug the Polo” … Sorry about your laptop 😕 This song definitely originates from a dark place, but I love how Tyler uses the music to break through the darkness and tries to offer hope and encouragement to keep fighting. “I liked it better when the car had sound” - he was going through a time when it was dangerous to be trapped with his thoughts. The lyric “I could pull the steering wheel” was a reference to suicidal thoughts. Someone actually stole his car radio when he was in college, but he continues to use the car as a metaphor. This song is so powerful live. Tyler often says that music is therapy and concerts are a celebration 🎉 I would strongly recommend checking them out in concert. Even if you don’t know the songs, it’s the energy that just fills your soul. Today was the 10th anniversary of this album - Vessel. They did a livestream to celebrate. It’s great to see how far they’ve come and how powerful the music has been in touching so many lives.

[@deejayturtle]

Me too... "Hug the POLO" I smell MERCH!!!

[@mattbrown7211]

YES YES YES!! Bro, please take the full TØP journey. You will absolutely fall in love with them and it will also absolutely help your channel! As always, you rock homie! ✌️🤟🤘

[@roldarnesen5767]

My first view of one of your reactions (subed). You happened to do one of my favorite songs, by my favorite band. Twenty-one Pilots tends to do their own thing genre wise. I've been to a couple of their concerts; this was an earlier one, not the big stadiums they often are in now. Also, their fan base is world wide, with huge concerts around the globe.

[@GWHinCA]

I love their old videos. This drummer goes off!!! Thank you!!

[@taneha8176]

They are both Christians. The theme is to understand what sublimation is and to think. Some people can't stand to be alone with their thoughts. I love their music!

[@taneha8176]

@POLOREACTS1 Sure

[@taneha8176]

I am using a Christian term for Sublimate: in simple terms - using something, person, stimulation, or experience to avoid life - dealing and thinking always with some sort of stimulation.

[@platonicbuu7454]

are they still? lol some of their later lyrics....

[@AdamRee-lx8uh]

@@platonicbuu7454 Of course. And what do you mean “some of their later lyrics?”

[@Milagros_2113]

​@@platonicbuu7454 their latest album is controlled by Dema narratively, anyway I love SAI and it is known that the next album will follow the route of Redecorate both lyrically and sonically (song that talks about suicide) people who don't like SAI is because they don't understand it.

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

Yes. I think you are right. Sometimes it's hard to be in silence when our thoughts become stronger and louder..we have to be comfortable with ourselves to be alone with our thoughts. Great reaction. Dope song.🧡

[@katstorm13]

I'd been to over 100 concerts before I saw them. Never had a favourite, more like a top 10. After seeing them twice, I have an absolute favourite, and a 2nd favourite. I'll have to make a top 15 favourite concerts lists now. They take up 3 of those slots lol.

[@catherinereynolds9644]

I'm in! Twenty One Pilots will be a journey. I'm here for it!!!! Once you are completely hooked, a live show will be the only antidote! The rooms are Full of positive energy. Can't wait for it!! It's a clique and you are wanted and needed to join us!! Much love! Yesterday was twenty anniversary of their first studio CD, Vessel. This tune is from that CD. ☮️💜✨

[@catherinereynolds9644]

To think is to be alive. So, I will strive with every rhyme to try to think...

[@drummerchrissk09]

Another great band! These guys have a great live experience!

[@tildatiger]

When you started telling your story (RIP laptop!!), I thought you already knew the song! What a perfect intro, telling the story of how you lost YOUR tech device that had your focus, making you feel down! When I realized that you actually didn't know the song, I was honestly worried for you for a moment, wondering if the lyrics would make you feel even worse... But of course, it's Twenty One Pilots, you can't help but come out comforted!

[@nikita8370]

Nail on the head, dude!! Loved everything you said!! This song, like so many of theirs, is so special to a lot of us. I get goosebumps everytime I watch the fans lift Tyler up and carry him back to stage when the beat drops. Beautiful visual parallel to how music can do that for us when we're feeling and dealing with things. Thanks for your words :) Love watching you grow your TOP appreciation! |-/ 🤍🤍

[@starrlea8291]

I like 21 Pilots because they talk about the tougher issues like depression and anxiety. I love Stressed Out and a really good song they did Can't Help Falling in Love.

[@Caseyisawkward]

Can’t help falling in love is an Elvis song that they covered

[@dougeyfresh]

The tangents are the reaction I'm here for, so don't feel the need to apologize. When a song strikes you in a way that you immediately relate to it and want to tell us about it, that's dope. Music has always helped me cope with all emotions, good and bad. When I'm celebrating, I want to put on an upbeat or hype song, and it gives me a place to channel that awesome energy. And of course, when I'm not in a good spot, deeper/sadder music helps me cope with what I'm dealing with. For me, it may be a bit of escapism as you mentioned, but it also helps me to genuinely deal with things and heal. Nice video, man!

[@kpsweets2279]

Their live shows are phenomenal.

[@nickinbass]

I drive 90% of the time without the radio on. On purpose... and people think I'm weird. But I find it calming. Silence is something that many don't get with the everyday busy life.

[@michellek.163]

I've been going through a phase of driving in silence more recently. It also really entertains me to drive with other people in silence and see how uncomfortable people get. 😂 But seriously I completely get what you mean about silence being soothing. I've grown up with a language processing disorder (it's like dyslexia, but listening to people talk) so driving in the car in silence by myself is so recharging and soothing for me. It takes awhile, but I think everyone can learn to be comfortable in the company of their own thoughts.

[@Grizzly.managements]

Im really sorry to hear about the accident with your Mac; bummer! I'm a woman, 57, from Sweden but I live in Spain: I really do enjoy your channel, Polo, and your thoughts about the music you listen to. It's often music I've been listening to for many years. Make sure you go to a concert or a festival; it's the best feeling ever to be in a crowd with people whom love the same music/band as you do. Cuidar y estar seguro ✌️

love the reaction to the drop. its like the released these people of their sadness, or emptiness and the music comes in as this euphoric feeling of not feeling so alone anymore

[@stacynaus2761]

Ode to sleep MV is so worth it. First it’s like two songs in one, and second it follows their career from their first concert to their sold out shows. So many good songs, but one of my favs is Migraine from the Live Room.

I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago, and I was intrigued by your reactions to music that I grew up with. I saw this “Thumbnail” and decided to step outside of my “comfort zone” and check it out…..Truth: It’s not my thing, but I appreciate that others might really like this genre, and might possibly be enthralled that you reacted to 21 Pilots. Good for them, and good for you. See you on the next one, Polo…✌️

I was a child of a single parent household, and with my mom working till late evening everyday I practically raised myself. I grew to appreciate music to both keep me company and to get out my feels. To this day I can not stand silence, especially in the car. My husband will turn off the radio in the car and say he just wants quiet, and to me that is absurd.

I drive a 6-speed 2012 Tacoma. Antenna is busted off and I don't even bother with the janky Bluetooth. I feel most at peace when I'm just shifting through the gears, listening to the revs, and coasting in neutral as often as possible. Play a game where I coast up to a red light, time it just right, pop it in second and let out the clutch. Not real fast, but efficient.

[@zacharykitchen5368]

TOPs music is very symbolic in their videos and lyrics and 9/10 have a deeper meaning and story to them, such as shaving his head

[@__Ethernet__]

great reaction! you should listen to the trench album and scaled and icy album. there is a story line that can be inturpertated to real life. ITS LITERALLY LIKE A MOVIE BRO. personal favorite is the outside music video. it feels like a movie. BUT you should watch the videos in order which is Jumpsuit, nico and the niners, levitate. then the story continues to scaled and icy, music video order goes saturday, the outside. keep up the good work!!!

[@claytonclifford2323]

Think about it, driving in your car by yourself and if you don’t have that radio to listen to music or to distract you/entertain you or whatever then you end up thinking and eventually you start getting deep into thought and your thoughts can get the best of you sometimes and if u spend a lot of time by yourself constantly deep in thought you might start breaking down your own life, picking apart your insecurities and you’ll overwhelm yourself. That can be scary

[@theplaguepadart3743]

Id Die for a hug my guy, My Gram passed away a month ago and i've not been right since. But this song is how i am right now, im just quiet, Silent, in my thoughts.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I had a junk car with no radio as a teenager. I ended up using a boom box and spent a lot of money on batteries lol. I have been listening to 21 Pilots for about a year and I love how unique they are. I have been to concerts but really would love to see 21 Pilots and Blue October. Sorry about your laptop. I dropped my cellphone a month ago on cement and the screen is badly cracked. It happened less than 3week after I got it 😕🙃

[@Cosmic_Observer33]

"Someone stole his car radio" metaphorical, aka his heart. When he says i h*te this car that im driving he means he h*tes himself and who he is or has become. Apparently he did really have someone steal his car radio and he had to sit with his thoughts in silence thus the inspiration for the song but this song is a double entendre. He is also referring to himself his body as the car, and the car radio as his happiness or his heart.

[@sharilynbratton6476]

Another group I would love for you to listen to -- preferably the live versions -- is a prog band called Porcupine Tree, after Tool they are my second fave prog band. Please check out their live performance of their songs Arriving Somewhere But Not Here or Hatesong or Russia on Ice, most fans also rec Anesthetize live and it's a fantastic song but it is about 16 minutes !ong, kinda like Tool with 7empest, ha! They are another rabbit hole you might enjoy diving into! I want to like Twenty One Pilots and do enjoy a couple of their songs but I much prefer Porcupine Tree to be honest. Like Tool they are a band I never tire of listening to though Tool is still my spirit animal!!

I believe this song is about the contemplation of suicide.... The car radio is reference to the happiness that hes lost in his life the car is his life the reference to pulling the steering wheel is the act of suicide
