SO MUCH CHLORINE! Videographer REACTS to Twenty One Pilots "Chlorine" - FIRST TIME REACTION 

I believe that you don't find twenty one pilots, twenty one pilots find you when you need them the most.😊 Nobody is late to the party and everyone's invited.

This was the first time we met Ned. At this point we didn't know that his antlers that grew in the pool would become important in a couple of years later in the story as a 'Neuro Expansion Device'.

he also starts singing at 17 seconds, which is the atomic number of chlorine. sick detail

I love the "lead" and "lead" line. Such clever lyric writing. And weathered flag line. Ooof.

Not overthinking it at all. Chlorine is toxic but also purifying, and lead (writing) is toxic but how he makes his bread. That duality is where he feeds his creativity (Ned), and when it's finally ready, it sprouts horns (music) from creativity's head. In The Outside video, he finds an album's worth of Neds as an outsider, and he controls and fights bishops with horns (his music). In Overcompensate, he communicates with and recruits Banditos through horns (music). In Backslide, inner storms (like the one testing a flag by the sea in this song) ruins Ned's Breads, what he is trying to create to make his bread.

That's our little bestie Ned, who is in the outside, the hype and backslide mvs🤍

You asked when we found out about TOP: 2015 when Tear in My Heart started playing on local radio, then Stressed Out, then I said to our oldest "these Twenty One Pilots guys seem pretty good" and she said "you haven't even heard Car Radio, Ode to Sleep, Guns for Hands, and I was like "ooh, put it on!" and we dove through their whole discography (at the time) during our daily drives to/from school. Which is also how our youngest then got into them, and then she ended up being an even bigger fan of theirs than her big sister. For each of them in their teen years I took them to one live concert each, which I saved so long for, but was so glad to be able to do with them. Our oldest chose Panic at the Disco (meggsy started showing you some of their vids recently - The Devil's Key Trilogy), and our youngest picked Twenty One Pilots. So I got to go see both, and the kids had such a blast. Still loving your dive through their stuff, and now they have even more than they did back then, so you've still got so much to get through! Great problem to have :D

For me it's the best song they've ever made. This is a journey. From a catchy chorus, to a rap verse, to ending with Tyler's beautiful vocals. Chlorine is literally several songs in one.

Love the idea that the pool is mostly empty as they add more until Ned is satisfied enough to find it enjoyable to swim in. His horns grow as he does. Then it’s empty again and Ned has small antler nubs as Josh hands Tyler a small cup ( a new idea) that Ned finds bitter and the cycle begins again. Creatives never stop creating.

Also I think the little creature is named Ned and he's adorable.

My read on this song is Tyler's struggle to write/make music and his fight for and against thier fans. Like he wants to make music to help himself and others but also he has to make music to pay the bills and that is in part where blurry face comes in as he is the one making popular music while Tyler makes the deeper songs... Something like that anyway.

You'll love "The Hype"....very positive

Dude, I'm so excited for you to start Clancy. I havent stopped listening to it since it dropped. Thank you for giving a unique perspective to this music, and videos, that we all love so much. Again, welcome to the skeleton clique my friend! ✌️🤟

discovered TØP last year when my then 7 year old was taught to play “Heathens” on drums. now we both are huge fans. can’t wait to see them this summer- my son’s first arena concert!

Your reactions to tøp are great! Thanks Joe❤

First time I heard them was in 2013 at edgefest in Dallas. I was there to listen to Paramore and Phoenix and ended up finding some really good bands. I remember him playing car radio and climbing the stage scaffold things. Ever since then I’ve been hooked. It was my first ever concert/festival and it was totally worth it.

I got introduced to them in a funny way. There was an audition on America's Got Talent one year and the band did a cover of "Fairly Local". I loved it so much that I had to look it up. And that's how I found and fell in love with TOP.

Finally!! I thought I saw this pop up yesterday or the day before and I missed it before it got the block.🤓and there’s lore in this vid!😆

please continue talking about the cinematography! a lot of people will just dismiss the videos, and I feel like there's a lot of cool shots in TØP videos and it's nice to see someone appreciate them. even for their more "simple" videos there's a lot of meaning or it just looks cool. also loved your reaction to this. it's probably one of their deeper songs. chlorine is basically a symbolism for his music career and ned signifies his creativity. ned couldn't jump in until it was perfect- like how Tyler can't finish a song until it's perfect for him. at the end when the pool is empty and gets offered more chlorine, he's tired and can't consume any more.

I love this one so much.

"Car Radio" was my first run in with them...been a fan ever since.

Chlorine is, and will always be, in my top 10 |-/ tracks. “Can you build my house with pieces” was a constant prayer in the last year and a half. And that’s exactly how long I’ve been turned on to them also. I thought I was late to the party too, but we all pull up right on time.

This is one of my TOP 3 TOP songs (lol)

it’s been a musical fiesta today MrSparks 💥🥳

Man, I can feel your emotions through the screen. Authentic and I appreciate you and this journey you’ve allowed us to be a part of.

That’s Ned! lol you saw in in videos but he’s also on the bag of the hamburger rolls in the backslide video

I found them in 2020 while i was losing my mom to leukemia and my grampa to heart failure at the same time.. Hated all but 3 songs at first. But when i found out they were big on mental health in a very positive way, i listened for the lyrics rather than the music. Fell in love with the lyrics first and then the music later. The boys legit helped get through both losses and are why I'm still kicking.

There's no such thing as too deep when it comes to interpreting TOP 😊 One of the ways I look at this one is as a metaphor for Tyler creating music, 'shaking hands with the dark parts of my thoughts.' Ned can't jump in til it's just right, and Tyler has to keep adding toxic Chlorine to fill up the pool. Perfectionism, like Chlorine, can be a double edged sword. Luckily, Josh is there with him, cz 'In Trench we're not alone.' I love all the parts of this beautiful song and really, really felt your reaction to the weathered flag line, it's one of my favorites. So personal. As you move thru all their music you'll find the threads that connect it all. What these two have done is amazing, impressive, and so very needed. Found them in 2015 thru the Heathens track. Dove in and been a Clikkie ever since! I encourage you to keep going thru their entire catalog, even after Clancy. They have so much to offer the world. And no worries, we'll watch it all with ya!! FPE ❤|-/💛

Creativity bear is the best description of Ned ever!❤

Blurryface had me hooked when I heard Heavydirtysoul!!!! Been to every concert cycle since and they are by far my favorite band❤️❤️

TOP's music really does find a way of embedding itself directly into your heart, and i'm so happy you're having as much fun discovering their mind-blowing discography as I did! I can't wait until you get to hear how incredible Clancy is! To answer your question - I found TOP back in 2013 or 2014, when they were touring with another band that own my heart: Fall Out Boy. "Holding On To You" was the first track I heard, and my life has been exponentially brighter with them in it ever since!

Fairly local needs to be done next. You will absolutely love it! The visuals are amazing and lore important (I believe)

Ned is so cute! I actually wasn't a huge fan of Trench because I felt it was a little too different from the other albums that I fell in love with. But, Chlorine was the first song I ended up really warming up to. Tyler is definitely an old soul. He's a deep thinker and everything has meaning. I mean he came up with the band's name from a play. By Arthur Miller. A man unalived himself after causing the death of twenty one pilots during World War II because he knowingly sent them faulty parts to keep his business going. Can you imagine looking into Tyler Joseph's mind? What a sight that must be.

That end part gets me every time too Joe E🧡😅

I heard holding onto you on the radio in 2013 and immediately found the nearest show. Been a fan ever since!

I first got into twenty one pilots around 2016 ish? I only knew of their popular songs at the time like stressed out, ride, guns for hands, tear in my heart, heavy dirty soul, trees, and later heathens. BUT I didn't dive into more until a couple years ago when I heard their song Hometown online and loved it, so I decided to finally delve into their discography and I was blown away. I haven't looked back.

I got asked to go to a TOP concert in 2016, I had no idea who they were and tickets were $90 so I made an excuse up to my friend to not go.. shortly after, I started checking out their music and now it's one of my favorite artists of all time.. forever regret that decision and haven't had a chance to see them Live since 😒

Always look forward to your TOP reactions. We share your enthusiasm!!

About 8 years ago I did a creative writing club at my son’s junior high and some of the kids in it were huge T0P fans so I found a few videos. I loved Stressed Out, but Car Radio hit SO hard. I’ve been trying to keep up ever since. Clancy may be their best album yet.

Spot on, man. This song is Tyler explaining the hiatus they took between Blurryface and Trench. The moment was medical and he'll be back when it's all complete.

Please do the live stream while you react to the videos so you can see the comments that he makes right before and after the videos. It adds so much. You’re gonna love it.🎉

Such a great song - one of my favorites from TOP. It's about Josh dealing with writers block. "Now different lives I lead, my body lives on lead. The last two lines may read incorrect until said" is one of my favorite TOP lines. Didn't catch it originally, just as in Stressed out when he sings "Out of student loans and tree house homes, we all would take the latter" - where you can also replace 'latter' with 'ladder'.

I don't know why I always get choked up after ned jumps in the pool. My oldest played them in the car for me 3 years ago! I was also mad late to the game and it pisses me off daily. I missed so much. But now I'm here and I love everything they do!

You. Get. It. The cinematic and atmospheric vibes are immaculate, especially on Chlorine. The “I’ve been tested like the ends of a weathered flag that’s by the sea”line just gets me every time. ❤ My little brother introduced me to them in 2011 and I’ve been a clikkie ever since. “Only” seen them 4x and I will go every chance I get. They are so epic live.

"Chlorine" is an absolute 5.25 min fucking masterpiece!!! 😅... so dope, so beautiful, so deep... yessss...we love Ned soooo much.... Hugs from Buenos Aires👽💀💖🇦🇷

I'm 42, and I discovered them during the pandemic when Ride played on my Pandora station. I knew I had to learn more about this band, and I've been way down the rabbit hole ever since. I played everything I could find by them during the pandemic, and I'm still obsessed! You should watch their MTV Unplugged special, and Tyler's Audacy Music Storyteller Performance.

Ned is integral to the lore. I don’t understand people who say Chlorine isn’t to part of the story. Oh and I’ve been with TØP since late 2013 with Vessel.

Ned, The Creativity Bear. I like it 😄

Loved this one, another great reaction .. to answer your question, I found them in 2013 and they were on my regular playlist. Things happened in life and music became difficult for awhile. Once getting back into music and they announced a new album, scaled and icy, I dove back in. And now I listen to them daily 💛

Joe - love you bro...i'm DYING for you to get to Navigating.

Have you heard Lane Boy? It’s definitely a favorite from Blurryface. I think visually you would enjoy The Hype and Holding on to You. It’s great that even when you get through Clancy there’s still a lot more to keep you busy. I knew TOP mainly from radio play then took my daughter to see them in 2022. I get to go with my family again in august and I am so excited.

Yay...Doing my Happy Dance 💃

Love you reactions to TOP!!! 🎉🎉🎉 You should check one of their live performances. Holding on to you (live at Fox Theater) is awesome!

I felt the same at the end when he sang slow.. I cried and fell to my knees.

You. Get. It. The beautiful cinematic and atmospheric vibes are immaculate. ❤

I want to say my first time I heard them was House of Gold. But at the time I just watched the video and I was like it's a little weird and then sometime pass by and then I saw the car radio performance and then I went into the rabbit hole that was Twenty One Pilots

Ned is also on outside I believe which kinda apart of lore

Honestly after clancy... chlorine is my all time favorite TØP song ever

You've made my day sir. I have heard NED as an alien, monster, gremlin, etc. Creativity bear is the best. Love your reactions to one of my favorite bands. Keep them coming sir! I started listening to these guys during a rough time in 2018. They have helped me through a lot and the new album is helping me and many others through now.

Joe ❤️🫶🏻❤️🫶🏻❤️🫶🏻❤️ your reactions are always so beautiful and inspiring 🙏🏻

This has been one of my favorite endings to a song ever the sound the calmness yet sadness it gets me every time ❤️💔😔🙂

Ned is a bunyip 😉…that’s my theory since they met him on tour whilst in Australia. Bunyip hang out in Billabongs but I think Ned is special & was feeling a bit different to most Bunyips, didn’t fit in was looking for more, a way to express himself. Tyler & Josh helped him out with what he needed & they fast became friends. The rest is history! 😆😆😆 my lil story, I like it, Mark confirmed Ned was back visiting Australia in a discord chat so I take that as evidence 😜. I discovered them through stressed out, ride & heathens. I didn’t realise they were all by the same band at first then that had me curious. I very quickly got hooked once I started looking into the band. The deep lyrics coupled with such an array of music just hit right. I never get bored of them

Fab reaction as always Joe-E! Ned makes a very brief appearance in The Hype, if you do that video, please also do The Hype Berlin! 2 versions of the same song, but totally different arrangement! My fav is the Berlin version!

I was late, too, but now it feels like I've been in it for a while haha. I knew I liked TOP from all their radio hits, but for some reason I never bothered to listen to their albums. When Level of Concern came out during the pandemic and I had lots of free time on my hands, I got into watching reaction videos, which lead me to discovering their entire back catalog (and I was hooked). As fate would have it, that's also how I found NF (from TOP fans suggesting him to their favorite reactors). Life is funny sometimes. You should absolutely go see them live! I saw them twice on the SAI tour, and I have tickets to see them in August for the Clancy tour. They put on a fantastic show, and if you haven't already you should watch Trees (live at the Fox Theater) to get an idea of the vibe.

Here for TOP and of course for you with the #hometeam!

Love this one.

My dude, can't wait for you to react to Car Radio. The song still gives me chills to this day

the piece of information you're probably missing is they took a year hiatus after Blurryface where they just disappeared from the world - they had just become world famous and it took a big mental toll on them and nobody even knew when/if they were coming back the song is about making music - it's good for them because they're able to get their thoughts out, but too much of it can be toxic (exactly like Chlorine) - that's why he kept saying "the moment is medical" because they needed that time off to heal

the way i see it, is that this song represents the struggles of writing; the writing block that comes with it. the chlorine represents how toxic it can be for him and his mental health. chlorine is both poisonous and cleansing. writing is simultaneously therapeutic and bad for his mental health. he needs to write in order to cope, hence why the moment is "medical", but he thinks he gets the best writings out of his worst mental states, so he may be clinging onto those bad feelings in order to write. "it grows while i decay" he's 'loving what he's tasting' and 'dependant at times' even though its venom on his tounge and not really good for him. the lead is terrible in flavor, but now you double as a paper maker (money). but it makes him money at the end of the day

Today found your channel

Great reaction

5:55 it's an ongoing joke in the videos that Josh does all the work lol

PLS MAKE A TØP PLAYLIST!!!

I have been listening since I heard Holding on to You from Vessel in 2013. Have you done Fairly Local? The new record sent me back to that video. I love watching your reactions! This duo is amazing.

It's been fun watching your reactions. RU-vid suggested this song Chlorine to me maybe in 2019, I really liked it . I eventually came to like all of the songs on Trench, and then enjoyed Scaled and Icy when it was released. I've gotten used to Tyler's screaming on songs, but he seemed to have toned it down the last 2 albums

I started following them when Car radio came out 😬

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I just realized, the pool is the paladin straight. And the bare car door??

Falling In Reverse released, a new song called All My Life👍🏻

Yep another comment for the AL-GO!

Joee, Falling In Reverse dropped a song with Jelly Roll! 🔥🔥🔥

Yuur ❤ day 353 without drinking Edit: 2015-2016 when I found TøP

Please listen with earphones

❤😂😊

NED!!!

I am the only one who think Tyler looks just like Colin Farrell at the end, in the street!!?? Like identical. I'd still take Tyler any day over Colin but he's not too shabby either.
