- (Finebros) So do you know what band that was?
- Um, nope.
- No. I've only heard the song, the second song.
- No, but they looked like a mix of both of the Smosh guys.
- This was Panic! at the Disco.
- Panic! at the Disco.
No, I'm sorry. PANIC! at the Disco.
- They're my favorite band.
- (Finebros) So this is Panic! at the Disco.
- Panic! at the Disco.
- I'm gonna write that down, 'cause I need to remember that.
- (Finebros) So this band's been around for more than ten years.
- Really? I'm old. (chuckles)
- (Finebros) No, you're not. (laughter)
So along with bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance,
they helped popularize a new breed of pop punk in the mid-2000s.
Would you say you're a fan of that type of music?
- Uh, no.
I listen to rap mainly.
- I enjoy it. I don't seek it out and listen to it all the time.
- Yes. That's one of my favorite music genres.
- I like My Chemical Romance.
I like Panic! at the Disco, Fall Out Boy.
- I am a pop punk kid.
They have deep lyrics. The lyrics are actually good.
They all strike a chord within me and all my friends.
- (Finebros) Why do you think teenagers specifically over time
have connected to this type of music?
- 'Cause teenagers are weird. - And they're emotional.
- And they're weird. - Okay.
Lemme take it from a girl, we are emotional people.
- Teens kind of all have the same mentality.
I want to listen to this
because I think my parents won't like me listening to this.
- It's really like, "Unh!" You know?
We don't care what you think.
- They write songs that resonate,
and they have to do with teens and adolescents growing up.
- It's all geared towards teenagers
and people who are going through these rebellious moments
and people who are going through like,
(whiny voice) "My parents don't understand!"
I'm okay with being targeted, especially with this music,
'cause it's good.
- (Finebros) The band is known to slightly change
their musical style from album to album.
What do you think about bands that continue to evolve
versus bands doing the same thing?
- Taylor Swift.
I don't like when they make a huge jump,
like from one genre to another.
- I like bands who evolve
if they're evolving to stay with the fans that they've created
and that helped them get famous.
- It's much better to evolve.
I mean, that's lame, just staying the same place where you were?
I mean, why would you listen to them?
- A lot of bands probably get criticism for being a sellout,
'cause they're changing to fit the society that they're in,
and that's kinda not their message originally.
But I think it's survival of the fittest when it comes to music.
You change your music so it's what people want to hear.
- No one will ever get tired of these guys,
'cause these guys are constantly changing.
And they can show up anybody, and they can still rock the charts.
- The musical aspect of everything they do changes over time,
and it's a fluid thing, and people have to evolve with it.
And I love that part, because that shows
that you actually have creativity as a musician.
- (Finebros) So something interesting about the band
is that they are no longer together.
In fact, there's only one person left. - What?
- Is that why there's only one guy on the cover
of the album I have?
- It's just Brendon Urie.
- (Finebros) It's just Brendon Urie.
He sings, plays all the instruments,
and made the entire album on his own.
- He's a OG.
- Yeah. - He's a real gangsta.
- Mad props to him!
- He can play the instruments well and then sing like a god.
What the hell?
- Other single artists have done it themselves.
But it is impressive.
- He has all these ideas and all these flows
that he can just connect with, and there's no wall.
It's all him, you know? There's no one helping him.
But also, there's no one holding him back.
- It's impressive of him. I do miss the band.
- (Finebros) Brendon is still releasing the new album
under the Panic! at the Disco name,
despite the fact that the band is now just him.
What do you think of him doing this versus it being a solo album?
- Um, I think it's kind of weird,
because obviously, how are you gonna call it Panic! at the Disco
when it's just the "Panic!" and the "at the Disco" is all gone?
- He still has the name Panic! at the Disco.
And if all the people left, he still is Panic! at the Disco.
- It doesn't really bother me,
considering that he has gotten new band mambers
to back him up in concerts and stuff,
like Dallon Weekes, I know, is one.
- He's just doing it because everyone already knows Panic!
Like, they already know that name.
- Gerard Way, he released an album by himself.
And I believe if he had released it under MCR,
it probably would've gotten a lot more traction.
It's already a brand. Why lose it?
- (Finebros) What is Brendon left
and the other band members stayed
and still called themselves Panic! at the Disco?
Do you think they'd have the same kind of success?
- I think they would, because everyone in that band
was still talented, and they still are to this day.
- I definitely think there would be some fans who are like,
"Brendon was my favorite. Now I'm just gonna stop listening."
But they'd still have fans.
- The singer is usually the face of the band.
It sounds different without that person.
So it's like, "Okay, you can't call it that."
- No one has the exact same voice as him.
No one has the same feel and emotion.
It wouldn't work out if they put in a new singer.
- Brendon makes the band, you know?
When you see Panic! at the Disco, who do you think of?
Brendon Urie.
- (Finebros) So final question: with this new album here
and us talking about it, are you gonna continue to listen
to Panic! at the Disco? - No.
- Probably not, no.
- Yeah. Why not?
- Yeah!
- I'll definitely give the whole album a whirl.
- Oh yeah. You know, probably right now when I leave,
I'm probably gonna go look at it, plug it in on the car,
and probably just listen to a couple songs.
- Of course. Oh my gosh, that's even a question.
- Yeah, I'm gonna go listen to more Panic! at the Disco.
I'm becoming more of a fan each day.
It's getting there slowly, but Fall Out Boy's still at the top.
- That brings us to the end of another episode of Teens React.
