About the song Blurryface:

If any one song captures the millennial/gen Z experience of the mid-2010s, it’s a song whose chorus pines for the “good old days” of carefree youth and whose bridge describes the pressures of external voices telling one to “wake up; you need to make money.”

Who of a certain demographic couldn’t relate, after all? “Stressed Out” is full of one- or two-liners that practically define a generation – “I was told when I get older, all my fears would shrink/ But now I’m insecure, and I care what people think,” “Out of student loans and treehouse homes, we all would take the latter,” the list goes on. He’s speaking to a generation — of which Joseph, in his mid-20s at the song’s release, is a part — that was not only drowning in college loan debt but was also sharing those anxieties and more all over social media, perhaps feigning apathy when in reality they craved peer acceptance more than ever.

Twenty One Pilots is a young band to me but it was hard not to notice how the kids responded to them and I understood why. Great songs, hooks galore with melody in the lyrics which are excellent.

I'm glad they beat out two Imagine Dragons songs which are pretty good but they are not up to the Pilots level as what makes a great rock band to me. I think they stand up to other 'bands of the decades' from the past quite well.
