C twenty one (21)

Twenty One Pilots is a duo from Columbus, Ohio, made up of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun. Their music pulls from different places, some alternative rock, some hip-hop, some electronic textures, and doesn't settle into one category. Songs like "Stressed Out" and "Chlorine" show that range, moving between anxious energy and more reflective moods.

They put out early albums like Regional at Best and Vessel before Blurryface arrived in 2015. Their lyrics often touch on mental health and personal struggle, which has connected strongly with listeners while sometimes drawing criticism.

After Blurryface, they released Trench in 2018 and Scaled and Icy in 2021. They've built a dedicated following through touring and a direct, unfiltered approach to performance. Rather than smoothing out their sound for broader appeal, they've kept working in that mixed-style lane that feels particular to them.
