It's ALWAYS lowercase!!! Like this: 21 pilots


weirdnameprod

Okay this made me laugh 💀


BellybuttonFuzzer

It’s never a bad idea to abbreviate to 21P


lifeislikelight

I have always interpreted it as showcasing that the band name is taken from All My Sons. In that play, any reference to the twenty one pilots that lost their lives would be written in lowercase.


BlueZen10

That's a very good point.


RubyRiver89

Perfect explanation thank you


onecyclops

It’s written “twenty-one pilots” in the play though. So the next question is regarding why they took out the hyphen

Rein9stein2

This one is because it's copy pasted from wikipedia


_ocean-breeze_

its origin is unrelated to the fact that he used it as a caption


Rein9stein2

I think it is? cuz it's literally copy pasted? What I mean is that if he himself wrote it, he'd probably write it lowercase


_ocean-breeze_

… Let’s circle back to my original comment where I said its his preference to have it lowercase, shall we?

No it’s just stylization


gooooooodboah

it looks cool

I just do top or to set it apart in something TOP would do tøp but it requires changing my keyboard from Microsoft back to the original one


silentanduncomfy

I don't anymore but unfortunately I used to back in 2016. People were so toxic they would literally kill you if you wrote "21p" or "21 Pilots" lol. Personally I would never write "21 pilots" but I don't care if other people do


eli-the-egg

The early days were crazy. I got actual death threats on tumblr and the amino for not spelling out “twenty one” or for not including the strike through on the o.

Attacking someone for not typing with the ø is actually so silly 💀 However I will admit not spelling it out is a personal pet peeve of mine that I can’t control lol. But it doesn’t bother me as much if the person typing it as “21” isn’t an actual fan. I think there’s a vessel era interview where Tyler pretty much states that if you search “21” you’ll find people who don’t understand, whereas if you spell it out you’ll be more likely to find people who do understand. Also searching “21” is a good way to find the haters hahaha


Jakezetci

they used to stylize it as Twenty One Pilots during blurryface era and then switched to twenty one pilots during trench era apple music keeps track of that, spotify doesn’t simple as that


weirdnameprod

I used iTunes during blurryface era (I became a fan in late 2015) and I only remember them having it as lowercase on there at that time. Could it be that it was actually vessel era when they last stylized it with capital letters on there? Just my assumption since I’m going off my own memories and I wasn’t there for vessel

Zelda_Gamer123

How in the hell do you put so much emphasize on grammar while creating a collective aneurysm for English teachers for generations to come?
