Twenty One Pilots; Choice of music
Twenty One Pilots bring a mix of piano synthesizers, drums vocals, and occasionally the ukulele and bass. Their songs are usually poetry-based Joseph has stated that when poetry is too long, he needs to start rapping to fit the lyrics in.
The band's musical style has been described as alternative hip hop, electro-pop,indie pop,rock, and rap rock. People typically have trouble affiliating the band to a specific genre to describe them, since they bridge so many. However, many fans (and themselves to a degree) have labeled their genre as "Schizophrenic pop" a technically unofficial subgenre of pop.
Although many of their songs contain allusions to Christian theology and have messages about God, and all members of the band are Christians, Twenty One Pilots is not considered a Christian band
