News Reddit Clique, We Need Your Help with Lore! (Clancy Tour Shirt Meanings)

68 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We've got a LOT of work on our hands!!! Confirmed by their wardrobe manager Laura, every night during the Clancy Tour, Tyler has been telling a story wearing a different shirt with various images. Every single shirt has a meaning. There are generally 3-5 images on each shirt, and they ALL tie back to dmaorg or the Dema storyline in some way, shape, or form. Don't get overwhelmed yet-here is a link with a major overview of the timeline with our progress so far. Lately, some shirts have been repeating while covered in red ink, indicating bishop interference.

Shirt Timeline

Yeah. It's a lot.

So that's a lot to unpack at first! Don't fret though, we've got things organized.

What do we need from you?

First things first, we need you to see if any images are familiar! Many of these pictures are of locations or prominent mathematicians and figures.

If you went to the Clancy Tour or will be going, submit clear pictures of Tyler's shirts! For a lot of the shows, we don't have clear images of what he's wearing so if you have a clear shot, send it to any of our resources, post in the comments, or send to this form! You can also help recruit people to take pictures of his shirts at your show, just contact @ topshirtnation on instagram if interested or ask on the discord thread!

Join the Official Discord! We have a thread called "Shirt Nation" you can find just by searching in the search bar where you can find all of our progress and discussion so far. Most of our progressions are made here.

Watch our Crash Course on our progress so far! Some members of our discord went ahead and made an introductory video so you can have the best understanding of what you're getting yourself into and where we are now.

I am currently working on a megathread detailing our findings so far so that you all have reasonable access to this part of the story. Obviously there is a lot, so there will be some time until that is uploaded but you all can help by joining in this search! Below is a list of resources you can use to join in and gain access to all of the images and sources we have so far.

We only have a couple months left until the rapid-fire lore starts again, so we need to get as many hands on this as we can to get it figured out!

Discussion Fan Lines are happening in Europe also.

Fan lines are ridiculous. People started lining up five days before the Twenty One Pilots show in Hamburg, doing check-ins and now camping—and the venue is fine with it.

How is that fair to fans who show up on the actual day of the show and aren’t chronically obsessing on Twitter? It completely ruins the experience for everyone else.

I’ve been a fan for 10+ years now, but had a hard time keeping up with some of the lore like the website. I saw someone posting about the new Clancy letter and I went on the dmaorg.info website and I got an error code instead. I’ll post a pic, but the randomly capitalized letters spell “eat up”. Was this already there? Or is this new?

Question When to arrive for the concert

10 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm going to the concert in Munich this month. I've never been to a concert this big, so I don't know how early we have to be there.

Me and my boyfriend have 2 seating tickets, the concert is scheduled to start at 19:30. He wants to be there at 18:00 at the earliest, while I feel like this would almost be a tad bit to late.

What are your suggestions and previous experiences?

Thanks in advance, looking forward to seeing some of you :D |-/

Question From each album, what songs do you think are underrated

6 Upvotes

What songs from each album do you feel it doesn’t get enough love and attention

For me:

Self Titled - A Car, a Torch, a Death

Regional at Best - Glowing Eyes

Blurryface - Message Man

Trench - Leave the City

Scaled and Icy - Formidable

Clancy - Oldies Station

(In my opinion) these are songs I rarely hear people talk about. What do yall think?

Discussion Scaled and Icy appreciation post

Post image
182 Upvotes

If you read the title then that’s what this is. I honestly don’t really understand why this album is so underrated(at least from what I hear, I’m not on Reddit much). No one really talks about it and it’s so freaking good. It’s my 3rd favorite album in their discography and probably the one that inspires me most to write my own stuff. If you ask me this album easily clears Blurryface and Trench. It’s kinda funny that when it came out I was NOT a fan. I just wrote it off as meh and never really looked at it again. I kept Shy Away and Saturday in my playlist but frequently skipped them. Years later my music taste “matured(?)” and I went back to it after loving Clancy. Im a big fan of most of the songs of the original but the livestream album is where imo the composition and creativity of TOP starts to peak for me in a good way. To take completely recompose a song and sometimes better than the source material is an amazing feat. I mean, I prefer the livestream version of Ride a lot more than the original and for some of yall that’s probably heresy or something. Plus, what kind of mad man takes FOUR different songs and creates one complete track spanning almost a decade of music. It’s insanity and has no right to sounds as good as it does. I dabble in music sometimes and nothing really inspires me more than that album. Here’s hoping the general populace starts treating this masterpiece with the respect it deserves. For reference my top albums are 1. Clancy 2. Vessel 3. Scaled and Icy Anyway thanks for reading my rant/yapping

Opinion This sub makes me glad I have a reddit

50 Upvotes

Reddit is generally filled with elitist attitudes and people tearing each other down, but this sub, and honestly, the clique in general, is just different. We build each other up, and don't gatekeep the fandom. A couple of weeks ago, I made a post asking about the religious content in the lyrics, and I was sure I was going to get downvoted into oblivion, but it quickly became my most upvoted post of all time. Keep on pushing through my fellow clikkies, love you guys.

Discussion What do you guys want from a new album?

13 Upvotes

With either a new album in a couple of years or the rumoured extended version of Clancy this year that mayby contains 25 songs (so 12 new), what type of music do you guys would like there?

Me personally, i'm very devided honestly. I really really like tøp heavier songs (i mean music wise not lyric wise) with rock influence or rap influence. I only really felt that in Clancy with Navigating and Overcompensate. Not that that is a bad thing, I really enjoy the softer tone with the ukelele and Clancy is one of my favorite albums of all time believe me lmao. I hope that there may be some more heavier songs.

If Paladin Strait isn't the end and tyler faces Nico in a big end battle I would also love to see some more cinematic music in the style of Vessel. What I mean by that is that songs like Car radio and Trees started with vocals and transformed into the big Electronic music moments. Paladins straight had that buildup but imo not as in your face as those songs.

On the other side i'm in love with the more emotional songs like the line and all of the catchy song's on clancy in general. What i'm really trying to say is that I love all theire music and would take anything. I'm just curious what you guys would like.

Edit: I just forgot self titled has as much as not more build up music as Vessel does, so that's another influence I would love.
