VIDEO: Camping out overnight with more than 100 diehard Twenty One Pilots fans in Tampa Twenty One Pilots just thrive in unpredictability, in inexplicability, in chaotic words and images that no one but the Clique fully gets. In which case, no offense, but you probably didn't belong at the show in the first place. Now, Iris is a bop, and the Beatles are the Beatles, but one can see how you'd be confused by what Twenty One Pilots were getting at with these covers.
