Twenty One Pilots is a Alternative rock and Electropop act. Their catalogue also touches Rap and Reggae. Their sound grew out of My Chemical Romance, Paul Meany, Saint Motel, Lights and Mikey Way.

They run in the same orbit as half•alive, Panic! at the Disco, I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME, AJR and Wallows, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Being as an Ocean, AJR, Cavetown, Good Kid and Smallpools, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
