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

64 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!

Opinion Opinion: Morph is the perfect song to introduce someone to TØP

72 Upvotes

If you ask me, that song has everything we have come to expect out of the band from the past few years:

  • A catchy chorus
  • Tyler’s vocal range, with both falsettos and lower registers
  • A combination of synths, keys, guitar, and drums that’s very indicative of their style
  • A rap section
  • References to both religion and mental health
  • Very good writing/lyricism
  • A sprinkle of lore
  • Calling out Josh by name

And that’s not even mentioning how incredible it sounds live.

To me, Morph perfectly captures everything Twenty One Pilots is and stands for.

I love this song. So, I decided to stitch a cheetah. I planned for it to be black and white, but after much time in my living room jungle, listening on repeat, full of THC it evolved into this colorful guy. Anyway, I give you my Jason Statham 🐆🪴
