I knew there was some sort of lore, but just couldn't put all of the puzzle pieces together! I've been listening for hm, six years I think! My grandson and I share similar tastes in music. This just gives us so much more!!
@@ellacaskey6525 Yeah, kinda... ^^' I 've been actively addicted to TØP's music for four years now, but all the lore and actual community stuff has only been in my life for a few months now xD
I've been a fan of 21pilots since 2015, and never had any knowledge prior to what's going with the lore 'till now. And with this self-explanatory video, you have clearly enlighten me. Such a concise expalanation. Thank you!
Its been my favorite band since 2018, like this spotify wrapped I was in the 0.05 listener percentage, but I didn't know anything about lore until their teaser thing before overcompensate, but it's insane Clancy drops on my birthday, it feels so perfect since the band means so much to me, I'm so hoped for it, best birthday gift
also I was thinking that the cover for st could represent the whole story pouring out of Tyler's head, with the album itself being like an epilogue to it all, "this is me, and this is my story"
@@groovyghostnotessuch an incredible description of severe depression, but showing it as an "external" manifestation 😮. Well thought out explanation! This old lady has been trying to piece together the lore, now, you've done it for me!! Something I can share with my grandson who is ALSO a fan!!
any other twenty one pilots related videos you’d like to see? any theories you want me to discuss? songs and music videos to pick apart?? let me know! i love talking about these boys from ohio.
I'm not sure how much actual discussion there is able to be had about it at this point but I think the theory of the original clancy being dead and tyler then taking on his name is an interesting one i've seen floating around
@@groovyghostnotes I definitely used to be but I kinda like the idea of them being separate people as it gives an extra perspective on stuff and I think the bishops pushing that Clancy is dead is a lot more powerful when the person Clancy IS dead but the idea their name represents isn’t
@@FX7yt i didn’t believe it up until the ned letter in the ned’s cozy fireplace. it basically confirmed a ned saw josh with clancy. it also mentioned that keons told the ned’s this would happen. the only time a Ned would’ve seen josh with anybody would be the outside music video. at the beginning of the video, it shows keons being killed, and trash the dragon being killed in the process. if he was possessing trash, it’s possible he crashed the submarine on purpose, sending josh and tyler to the Ned island like he promised.
@@groovyghostnoteswhat about the theory that clancy IS dead and tylers taken over the role of clancy? The main reason i think this is a possible thing is because clancy talks about seeing tyler and nico in one of his letters in the jumpsuit music video so it really wouldnt add up if tyler was clancy all along and the bishops view tyler and clancy as 2 seperate people (i assume) because they were with tyler in the movie, they called him tyler of twenty one pilots, ever since that ned letter this has gotten me all kinds of confused and curious 😂
i've been a fan for like 2 years and kinda understood the lore before but with all that's happening here your short and clear explanation still helps lol
I don't see a lot of people talk about this, but Tyler did a Discord interview with the clique where he explained violism and it's basically the end goal of trying to take your own life
i totally loveeeee this video, omg I'm a fan since 2015 with blurryface and I really enjoyed being envolved in every discover about the lore, it kinda make me sad that (it's suposse) that the next album is going to be the final one nooo
knowing tyler’s mind, i doubt hes going to stop adding storylines to his albums. i assume after the next album is the start of a new story. but thats just my guess.
I just noticed something and I might be stretching a little but the colors for Scaled and Icy are Pink Yellow and Blue (ayy pansexuals rise up lol) and that to me could be the three colors of their previous albums: vessel = blue, trench = yellow, blurryface = red but got toned down to pink because they’re winning?? Idk let me know what y’all think.
i like it! another really cool theory is about the bishops being color blind. tritanopia is what the bishops are believed to have, since the banditos wear yellow as camouflage. tritanopia also makes green and yellow… look blue and pink. so some think scaled and icy is an attempt by the bishops to look like bandito colors, but they got it wrong bc they’re color blind.
This was actually such a great video. So easy to follow, and the joke we’re top tier. Your commentary style as a whole is just superb. Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been following the lore since they came out with blurryface (been listening since early 2014) when Tyler explained in an interview that it was just a name he gave his insecurities to give them a seat at the table in order to deal with them. I’ve heard some theories about the new album and I’m so excited for it! I hope you make an updated lore video as well when the album comes out!! I’ll be here to watch it💚
Lore, lore, lore, and even more LORE. THANK YOU THIS IS LIFE CHANGING INFORMATION Edit: also I think outside was written for kids bop “kid are tryna take my vibes”
NIce summary! Nicholas Bourbaki is also a reference to a specific group of mathematical geniuses (apologies if someone else has already commented on that!).
I love this break down. I was commenting so often how i didnt understand the story or lore. It went over my head and though i enjoyed the music and story telling, i stayed confused. Thanks for this. And for being funny. 😅
A little bit tangent also.. in redecorate, a song that is pretty dark, the lyrics say “I repeat, scaled back and isolated,” which I feel is a play on the album name, as well as the feeling of being in Dema
I listened Twenty One Pilots like in 2018-2020 and I've just now realized this whole ass lore behind it??? I'm so excited and confused and happy cause my inner clique is coming back!!
this is so good! everything is explained nicely, really the introduction to TOP lore. I wish I could take a course on this, with every single easter egg and connection. And fan theories. And then one on everything else TOP related. Because I know a lot but I also know I don't know or remember everything. Loved watching this!!
One thing I disagree with is that trench is where you want to be I think bandits is saying trench is the place in between the bad place and the good place but not the good place itself It’s in between it’s the journey not the destination
Please go way into it, I was a hardcore fan from 2011-2017ish so I only caught RAB, Vessel and Blurryface but I've defrosted the phase and I am SO behind on the lore
tysm for this video. ive recently gotten a couple friends into tøp and the lore and im such a terrible explainer this video has helped sm. i hope you make another vid after clancy bc it will help all of us out here that have a hard time interpreting 🩷🩷 |-/
Banditos=good and helpful. Trench=healing place to be. Dema=bad. Really bad place to be. Blurryface=bad Yellow=protection Clancy= bad 9 Bishops= represents songs on trench/ bad. Nico=bad because duh, blurry face. NED= creepy little cute thing/ creativity. Trash= vultures/ helpful? Bad for dema. Okay got it. Thanks! 🙏
this is kinda outdated, since it became before the clancy album. clancy is tyler and he’s in fact a good guy! i’ll have to update this after the paladin strait music video
I think Clancy MIGHT be a metaphor! The original Clancy may be dead, but Tyler has picked up the mantle and is carrying on his good works, with the help of NED! Obviously Dema is the place where depression resides. Clancy, The Banditos and NED are the way "out"!!
Ive always thought Clancy is Tyler, i think he represents Tyler's non blurryface side. Just as Nico is a representation of Tyler's depression. Clancy is a representation of his clarity And scaled and icy being "clancy is dead" is because blurryface is in full control
this seems honestly really stupid to comment. but thank you for making this video, my groomer was very into twenty one pilots and i realized i got groomed in 2020 when this album came out. so i associated scaled and icy with them. now with this new era i feel like i’ve finally healed and can love what i loved before again. yeah but anyways thank you.
Honestly my only beef with Scaled and Icy has to do with that era being tainted by the "tyler is a racist" scandal that happened around that time but the promo pics and art work for that era was SO good
My friend said she liked 21 pilots and wanted me to listen to them like a week ago and I listened to some of their songs and thought they were good so I looked them up and im so confused😭 I didnt know it went this deep ( ngl I love it tho)
All this kinda reminds me of paramore and their albums , when they were younger they kinda wrote sad songs and depressing songs . It was kinda dark like with twenty one pilots . Then when they got older in 2017 they wrote some happy songs and it was bright , colorful but behind that bright colorful world was still some dark sadness. Listen to the lyrics in their songs and TØP’s songs the outside may be all fine but in the inside your fucked. Now with paramore and this is why the colors are more mid , they aren’t as bright as they were with after laughter . Again I think the same is happening with TØP, we may be getting some monotone colors with the next one.
This is not true this has been a story since 2009 every song in the first album in some way is connected to Tyler’s mind and Dema in March to the Sea in the background he sings about Dema and in Taxi Cab and a Car a Torch A Death it is in exact detail of where the hideout is outside of Dema as Tyler explains a man helped him escape with a torch and they travelled til he was stranded in sea lost in thought until the Outside in 2021 when he washes up on the shore I believe it’s been connected since then relisten the Twenty One Pilots the album you’ll see he’s been mentioning Blurryface and DEMA this ENTIRE TIME
"HE'S DEAD" well I got some news darling

Was Clancy unmasked in the new video?
Yeah, Tyler is clancy

Nice play on words! Nice!
The forest with no trees is the only place where you have to go

😮
Dude. Dood. Duad. Daud. The lore is awesome. Great digging.
‘Clancy’s storyline does not cross over with Tyler’s’

Hi, this is very good video, I enjoyed it, but I saw one inaccuracy (no toxic) at 2:47: ride and lane boy swapped
its time to prepare for the next part of the lore xx
Ok! First of all, thank you for this. I think I finally get it ❤😂❤

The lore started in self titled, a car blurryface, a torch trench, a death scaled and icy
He is the word! Without the word, there is no light. Only light can keep the darkness away.
Banditos=good and helpful.
Trench=healing place to be.
Dema=bad. Really bad place to be.
Blurryface=bad
Yellow=protection
Clancy= bad
9 Bishops= represents songs on trench/ bad.
Nico=bad because duh, blurry face.
NED= creepy little cute thing/ creativity.
Trash= vultures/ helpful? Bad for dema.

well
i’ve already been posting updates. def gonna do a part two to this once the new album drops
@@groovyghostnotes yippee
Now Tyler is Clancy we have found that out
"introduces a side character named Clancy who is really side character in all of this" Makes an entire lbum about them
This video has literally helped me understand years of confusion loool
Watching this to catch up for the new album since I kinda fell off at Scaled and Icy...
Fun fact dema means town of silence lol
I love the way you say TRENCH
I AM CLANCY (I can’t wait for your next video on this)
Thanks, I sent this to my mom since she has to put up with me and now it's time to get the end of the story, so here I go again!
i did not need that jumpscare at the beginning
Ive always thought Clancy is Tyler, i think he represents Tyler's non blurryface side. Just as Nico is a representation of Tyler's depression. Clancy is a representation of his clarity
And scaled and icy being "clancy is dead" is because blurryface is in full control
this seems honestly really stupid to comment. but thank you for making this video, my groomer was very into twenty one pilots and i realized i got groomed in 2020 when this album came out. so i associated scaled and icy with them. now with this new era i feel like i’ve finally healed and can love what i loved before again. yeah but anyways thank you.
So Clancy came back with a vengeance. He wasnt dead
Honestly my only beef with Scaled and Icy has to do with that era being tainted by the "tyler is a racist" scandal that happened around that time but the promo pics and art work for that era was SO good
WHERES THE UPDATE WITH CLANCY NOW
“his story does not cross over with tyler and josh’s” yeah about that.
We won't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
i love the " Dun, Dun, DUN!"
Dun.Dun.Dun, had me floored!
get ready to make a new vid soon!!!!
already done
"Clancy is a side character" well....I got some news
You should do a deep dive into all of it
My friend said she liked 21 pilots and wanted me to listen to them like a week ago and I listened to some of their songs and thought they were good so I looked them up and im so confused😭 I didnt know it went this deep ( ngl I love it tho)
When I first saw Josh chase Tyler with what I thought was a shotgun, I could not stop laughing. It was so unexpected.
All this kinda reminds me of paramore and their albums , when they were younger they kinda wrote sad songs and depressing songs . It was kinda dark like with twenty one pilots .
Then when they got older in 2017 they wrote some happy songs and it was bright , colorful but behind that bright colorful world was still some dark sadness.
Listen to the lyrics in their songs and TØP’s songs the outside may be all fine but in the inside your fucked. Now with paramore and this is why the colors are more mid , they aren’t as bright as they were with after laughter . Again I think the same is happening with TØP, we may be getting some monotone colors with the next one.
or or hear me out … the vulture MORPHED into trash the dragon
Tyler has videos explaining it in the lyrics and stuff
HELLO ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER VIDEO
There’s a lot more now , it’s crazy
The yellow stuff coming out if the dragon has smth to do with trench I'm pretty sure like the yellow that fights of blurry face or nico 🙂
The letters missing in the first letter shown here written by Clancy spell “ you are still sleeping” i never noticed that lmao
oooh get ready
Clancy is alive.
This is not true this has been a story since 2009 every song in the first album in some way is connected to Tyler’s mind and Dema in March to the Sea in the background he sings about Dema and in Taxi Cab and a Car a Torch A Death it is in exact detail of where the hideout is outside of Dema as Tyler explains a man helped him escape with a torch and they travelled til he was stranded in sea lost in thought until the Outside in 2021 when he washes up on the shore I believe it’s been connected since then relisten the Twenty One Pilots the album you’ll see he’s been mentioning Blurryface and DEMA this ENTIRE TIME
Remind me when they make an explanation for the new album please and thank you
I always thought that Tyler was playing the character clancy who was the one trying to escape
I can't wait for the "purple" album, from Stolens videos he explains the colour scheme
