>Twenty One Pilots are having one of the best years of any act in music, and this week, things got just a bit better. The alternative duo currently has two singles in the top five on the Hot 100, which is a very rare feat. By managing to have two such massive hits at the same time, the up-and-coming pairing joins some of most beloved company in history. According to Billboard, only two other rock acts in history have managed to place a pair of singles in the top five on the Hot 100 in the same week: Elvis Presley, and The Beatles.
>pleb band sells music to pleb public big surprise
Michael Gonzalez
>it's popular and on the radio so it's good >other people like it so you should like it
Evan Richardson
Difference is everyone bought Elvis and Beatles singles while nobody buys singles anymore.
Selling enough songs to chart in the top 5 these days wouldn't have been enough in to go to top 40 in the 60s.
Hudson Nguyen
>being this much in denial Just face it, TOP is this generation's beatles.
Evan Reyes
How is a manlet rapping and a drummer with parkinsons rock?
Adam Bell
Are you implying that's a good thing
Brayden Long
Not to mention blurryface has been top 3 for going on 50 weeks?
Jack Taylor
Best band ever
Alexander Smith
>it's another [insert current popular artist] tops some obscure billboard record only previously held by The Beatles/Michael Jackson/Mariah Carey etc. episode
Dylan Scott
>charts mattering in the age of the internet lmaoing @ u grandpa
Ian Evans
The Billboard 100 has always been based on AirPlay and sales and nowadays streaming is also counted to compensate for declining sales.
>21P haters are this dumb.
Lincoln Adams
>haters >>>/tumblr/
Benjamin Brooks
Streaming is included in calculating Billboard now.
Angel Davis
They're literally the artists of our generation. Deal with it haters. Go jack off to your Young Lean, Mac Demarco, and Gaymes Ferraro hipster bullshit.
James Wright
I think what he meant to say is that no one in their right mind should ever care about chart rankings, because they never have and never will be indicative of quality.
Isaiah Sanders
No, it's top 4 >s/t >Regional At Best >Vessel >Blurryface
Get ur facts right nerd
Nathaniel Smith
Definitely bait
Connor Allen
Read the article and weep buddy. 20 years from now kids will remember 21P, 21P is what people are actually listening to and buying. They're experiencing the same amount of popularity as The Beatles and Elvis. It's the music we listen to, drive to, chill to, fuck to, smoke to, the soundtrack to our generation. Nobody listens to Death Grips or any Sup Forumscore outside of basement dwelling internet autists. Quit being contrarian and accept these guys greatness. It's not a big deal if you like a popular band.
Leo Hughes
>Just face it, TOP is this generation's beatles. There is and will be only one beatles you fucking moron. And when it comes down to popularity the two aren't really comparable because TOP is not really even a global thing.
Austin Butler
>implying tons of pop acts haven't done the exact same thing whoop de fucking doo
Jack Mitchell
I don't listen to Death Grips, though. >It's the music we listen to, drive to, chill to, fuck to, smoke to >implying you're old enough to do any of these
Hudson Perez
why can't we just not like it
Jaxson Sanchez
Because it's catchy and emotionally driven. Also they don't sound like any other artist on the radio or charts right now.
Aaron Martin
>I don't like popular music, I'm special! Kill yourself you friendless hipster
Now I remember why I don't go to Sup Forums, often, 21P is better than any hipster shit you like no one has heard of
btw flannel is ugly
Nolan Gray
Why would you not like something that's popular?
Kayden Miller
It's uninteresting
Dylan Williams
ITT: pretentious hipsters
Benjamin Davis
Because they're objectively good and critically acclaimed + commercially successful. It's like hating on Pet Sounds or a Beatles record. Everyone likes it so you're going to be that edgelord who doesn't look at me mom please love me
Colton Evans
>implying the reverse isn't true for Sup Forums
Adrian Perez
can we talk about how there is someone here who is a) defending twenty one pilots b) continuously incorrectly referring to them as 21p and c) liked blurryface. we have found the true pleb among us.
Nolan Scott
what if i don't like catchy and emotionally driven music i exclusively listen to drone and ambient
Chase Smith
Multiple people, in fact.
Stay mad, pleb.
Landon Roberts

Carter Green
This thread
Luke Kelly
Cool, call me when they do it seventeen more times
Mason Cruz
>buzzwords
Charles Fisher
Drop your autism and learn to appreciate catchy music instead of listening to your fridge and computer bullshit.
Logan Scott
elvis and beatles were garbage though. at least 21 pilots innovated
Isaac Diaz
You must be a racist alt-right cuck who never leaves his basement fucking neckbeard virgin. 21P are the greatest band of the 21st century so far and caused a paradigm shift in pop music.
Jayden Butler
Having fun with your strawman?
Robert Perry
but that's what i like respect my opinion as i respect yours
Ryan Davis
Right watching people take OP's bait is boring. Instead let's play a game, can you encapsulate everything wrong with Twenty-one Pilots within 3 words?
Jackson Gomez
boring
Noah Martinez
Too commercially successful.
Owen Adams
All this anti-TOP faggotry is quickly becoming cringe. Seriously they're not much worse than Drake or Swans. Yeah
Cameron Gray
Just don't enjoy
Zachary Gomez
Never listened to them, so here's my educated assumption "Probably gay shit"
Robert Clark
There's nothing wrong with twenty one pilots besides their fanbase. Their music is solid and sounds good.
Isaiah Roberts
Your samefagging was cringe a while ago
Austin Adams
I love vessel but TOP is only critically acclaimed by sites like Alternative Press
Ryan Morales
Genuinely can't tell if this is satire or not. Also some of the shittest rapping I've ever heard youtube.com/watch?v=92XVwY54h5k
Joshua Bailey
t. 15 year old boy
Gabriel Bailey
>someone makes a valid point >HUR SAMEFAG SAMEFAG LOOK HE'S SAMEFAGGING GUISE!!!!
Just admit it, your contempt for this band is no different than a special snowflake middle school kid who listens only listens to 'real music'.
Cooper Cook
Your point wasn't valid and you were samefagging
Jacob Hernandez
I've never listened to anything they've made, so I've got no opinion on them. I just know that you're being extremely defensive about people not liking a band. People are allowed to dislike things just as much as you like them. Strange concept, I know.
Leo Barnes
Judging by this, I think I was right The rapping is so bad to listen to
Christian King
Was my first post in this thread. Was my point not valid because you didn't agree?
Elijah Bailey
No your point's not valid because it's not cringe for someone to dislike a band
Luke Morgan
No, your point wasn't valid because calling something cringe isn't a valid point.
Brayden Jackson
>its popular, so its bad >all popular music is bad >pleb it, pleb that
holy shit, just admit they're talented and are experiencing what millions of artists only dream about
Ethan Jackson
Listen to the album blurryface and come back to this thread and let's see if your opinion's changed at all. I don't care what any of the autists here say, there are some genuinely good tunes on that album.
Logan Fisher
Really? Because I dislike this band, but the constant shitposting about how 'this mainstream band sucks!!!!!! xD' is indeed quickly becoming pathetic and cringeworthy.
Ryder Russell
>>its popular, so its bad But he didn't say that >>all popular music is bad Didn't say that either
Bentley Peterson
There's been no shitposting against the band in this thread. Only shitposting toward people that dislike it
Evan Davis
[spoiler]no[/spoiler]
Joseph Russell
they literally wanted to make more money with their music and followed certain formulas and it worked well for them, thats it
bands like Panic at the disco fell off hard, trying to distancing of their roots
Eminem, Linkin Park and Twenty One share the same fans, thats nothing wrong with comercial success
Dylan Murphy
>OP posts a bait thread about 21 pilots and the line "Sup Forums BTFO" >Retards like you are surprised when Sup Forums expresses their dislike of the band
Liam Cruz
Ok. What point are you trying to make?
Cameron Flores
>not having an open mind on music Probably the most pleb thing you can possibly do.
Dominic Hall
>Listening to every album people on Sup Forums tell you to Sounds like you waste a lot of time wading through shit
Logan Lopez
I just listened to 4 whole Vaporwave albums today while playing shitty flash games Not really feeling like doin it right now, especially considering you said there's only "some good tunes" on the album. Don't want to wade through shit to get to good stuff
Benjamin Thomas
What makes a band "alternative"? I've never understood that.
Ryder Edwards
People who dye their hair listen to them
Thomas Hall
>rock acts what about other genres?
Jordan Evans
Who cares about other genres?
Lucas Turner
They sound like Nirvana
Connor Sanchez
He's right though, this place is infested with them
Jack Harris
Lol what? I'm talking about is in the top 3 for almost a year
Noah Kelly
They have more potential than any other band out right now
Christopher Kelly
This So you don't know shit about them you fucking moron. Keep your uneducated opinion to yourself
Benjamin Russell
It's a dumb buzzword that children use to write off criticism
Angel Ramirez
Jesus dude at least pretend to be over 18
Robert Phillips
disjointed
Benjamin Barnes
Why the fuck would you listen to 4 meme albums?? Seems like you don't give a fuck about your life so might as well listen to it
Joshua James
I needed background music for playing shitty flashgames, and I unironically enjoyed Floral Shoppe so I went for it Still not listening to blurryface today
Jeremiah Flores
The fact that so many teens still name Twenty one pilots as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" pop band ever only tells you how far pop music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of this generation are Kamasi Washington and Flying Lotus, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Philip Glass over classical musicians who are highly popular in courts around Europe. Pop critics are still blinded by commercial success. Twenty one pilots sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, Classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Pop critics are often totally ignorant of the pop music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Twenty one pilots did anything worthy of being saved.
Jacob Bell
kek
Grayson Bailey
You're missing out
Easton Butler
Ok
Carter Wilson
Justin Bieber has had 3 in the top 5.
Levi Morris
I just discovered twenty one pilots, and I am in love. I also found out its all made by one person!
