It’s interesting to see how MCR’s comeback and Paramore’s new album showcased them still evolving their sound and style that’s still distinctly unique to them and growing into a clear direction. Brendon Urie never went that route with all of the original band members leaving and what’s left being a constant rotating roster where the music kept getting more generic, more pop, less special, and less of a kind.

I wanted to drop a line about Paramore as well. I was a huge Panic, MCR, FOB, and Paramore fan. Somehow, out of all of them, Paramore stuck with me from my teenage years through my 20's and I'm nearly 30 and they're still my favourite band because they have evolved and being all the raw pain of living and growing up to their songs, which Panic didn't.

I went to see Paramore live a few months ago, and the energy they had was unmatchable. Even after all these years, they still perform with the same passion as they did when they were just teens. Their new album has been on repeat nonstop since it came out, a great mix of their old and new sound. MCR has been the same, their new song felt like pure ecstasy to my ears, they still sound the same yet so much more mature. I feel like FOB and Panic went the wrong way with their sound, Brendon ending up completely alone and without a clear vision of where he wanted his music to go, and FOB who ended up making sort like really really commercial/mainstream sounding music compared to their original sound.

Genuinely truly, go to the article where Brendon came out as pansexual. You have to scroll down a bit, but he mentioned how he used to make advancements on Ryan, which Ryan would reject. But after a few drinks, it's a different story. Sir, you're a grown adult. How can you be so stupid to PUBLICLY say something like that, let alone in the interview that you come out as pansexual in?

another issue i had with him in his prime of being called out for his messed up behavior was the treatment of ryan. brendon was never an original member, ryan was the original lead vocalist, wrote a lot of the lyrics in their early days, got them in relation to fall out boy, and brendon treated him horribly. in old interviews and such he’s just seen as making ryan very uncomfortable and trying to do yk “stage gay” when ryan obviously was not comfortable with that, but brendon would not give up, he kept trying and trying, in the end ryan just looks so miserable to have to be around brendon, i mean really the whole band does. also how ryan asked brendon to stop playing camisado live when ryan left because that’s a very personal song about ryan’s father and brendon just continued to play it?? all around he was just so ungrateful for everything his band mates did for him, he took advantage of everything which inevitably lead to his downfall

I genuinely think Panic! should have ended with Death of a Bachelor. As soon as Brendon was the last member standing, he should’ve used that final ‘good’ album as a last hurrah for himself and for the group that was. He could’ve made a song or two about his experiences and just…the end of it all. Bittersweet but nevertheless a good ENOUGH note to end everything on. It could’ve been a wonderful story on its own. Tale of Panic at the Disco and how it evolved. Then, he could’ve released PFTW as a solo work. I honestly believe more people would’ve enjoyed the album had it been detached from the Panic! name (I, for one, liked most of that album) And then he could’ve flopped with VLV idk that album was ass. It pains me, though, because musically, the entire band up until DoaB was just…it was so good.

Genuinely, and I say this as a massive Taylor Swift fan, Brendon deciding to be on Me! Is one of the worst business decisions he could have possibly made. Panic! Fans who were already on edge about him 'selling out' had their worst fears confirmed when he decided to join in on Taylor's biggest sellout song (a song even she has admitted was a desperate final grab at mass success before she turned 30 and expected to be pushed out of the industry) and Taylor's audience is genuinely so massive there's no way they wouldn't have searched more into Brendon and found some of his shadier moments. Especially considering Taylor Swift was just coming out of her reputation era which was not well received by audiences and was generally disliked among the type of people who listened to P!aTD. It was not a good choice.

The logistics don't make sense here. I don't think the amount of money it would cost to put on a show, then rent those songs, would out weigh the income from tickets or merch. I think a more reasonable answer as to why he didn't go solo is, not including AFYCSO and Pretty. Odd., the band grew in popularity after every album release, up to PFTW, which was Panic!s peak. If it ain't broke, don't fix it right. Up until this most recent album, where everything was thrown off. The image was no longer Brendon Urie, Popstar, but Brendon Urie, the music lover. 70's inspired, big rock tour rocking a beer belly and a 5 o'clock shadow. A break in the mold. I think this was always the last panic album. In high hopes Brendon sings, "I got one more ride and it's gonna be a sight to see," which if true makes a lot of sense. You have DOAB, which has Brendon exploring who he was, and who he wants to become, to PFTW, where Brendon's exploring what his fame really is, to VLV, where Brendon explores letting go of that part of his life.

I quickly fell in love and down the rabbit hole, and was sad they ended things this year but I understand. I understand where all the OG or long time fans are coming from, and where Brendon’s stance is. I think I was just saddened because I got to be a fan and enjoy them for such a short amount of time in comparison to how long they ran for. In all honesty, I hope Brendon spends the rest of his life happy and with his family and doesn’t need to return to the music industry for anything.

It seems like Brendon either wasn’t using the correct technique, wasn’t taking proper care after performances, was too stubborn to arrange songs to work with where his voice was at, or a combination of all three.

I don't personally take any issue with that song, as a pansexual woman myself. I thought it was kinda nice that P!ATD fully supported the song becoming an "anthem" for Bi/Pan people. I would say the overall positive sentiment of the song has outweighed any negatives, but that's just my opinion. I found G/G/B much less offensive than say, I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry. I also fully believe that people who label themselves as "barsexual" at any point aren't necessarily homophobic, they're just most-likely not comfortable with admitting publicly that they're at least a little interested in the same sex. Edit: Forgot to mention but Brendon has also come out as Pansexual, which honestly makes sense considering he was hiding behind the barsexual label.

Viva definitely is an uninspired album but I still find some songs fun. Don’t know why people always expect masterpieces from artists and sometimes people want to make songs with certain vibes. I personally know how good their first album is but I can’t say it’s my favorite, mine is personally DOAB

I saw them on their vices and virtues tour and it was so epic! Brendon did a flip on stage and his presence was spectacular. My favorite album will always be the first though ❤

Panic was THE band of my teenage years. I saw them live three times while Ryan and Jon were still there. It was never an issue to me that Brendon continued using the band’s name, plenty of solo artists use a stage name and plenty of bands no longer have any original members and continue using a band name, that part never really bothered me. And I think he took good care of the name up until Death of a Bachelor era, after that is when things started to fall off for me. The unceremonious end on a European tour that no one knew would be the final tour when it was first announced felt like Brendon giving up. Which is a really sad way to go out after almost 20 years.

I totally agree. I never understood why people got so upset about him wanting to continue the Panic name. Band members come and go sometimes, and that's just how it is. People just read way too much into things and made up all these crazy conspiracies that the gaslit themselves/each other into believing, when he's said on many occasions that people just left because they WANTED to. Anyways, I loved pretty much everything by Panic except for the very last album, which didn't really connect with me. It's really sad to see him just stop out of nowhere the way he did. I can respect if he's burned out or whatnot, but it just sucks after having been a fan for so long. But at least we can always go back and listen to the music still.

Yeah, the end of the last tour really didn't feel like the "end of the band" tour, like it just happened and that was all? I feel bad for those who couldn't go or missed due to cancellations because not knowing it was the last tour EVER would suck if I was able to go.

I swear Panic! literally saved my life. I loved this band with all my heart and even through the thick and the thin, I adored the old, and loved the new, but the last album was just heartbreaking. It felt wrong, and nothing upset me even more than Brendon just.. waking away after it wasn't another Death of a Bachelor or High Hopes. Now Panic! just leaves a sour taste in my mouth when it was my lifeline. It just feels like a bad breakup.

Yeah, i totally agree. i wanted to love the last album so bad because I love all the others, but it just... wasn't it. And it sucks that so soon after it came out it all just ended. I wish he would have just announced that he was taking a hiatus or smth, because I would love to se Panic come back after he's had some time to rest, find some more creative inspiration, ect. It's just such a sad way to end things.

I didn't know many of these controversies even though PATD! is my favourite band. Great video!

You are an underrated creator. I clicked on this video from my suggested, I'm not even a panic fan but also went throught the tumblr era so was curious enough about a take on this. I got totally sucked in and really enjoyed this, Just good shit. ETA you're really fucking funny 10/10

the obligatory braindead "underrated" comment goes to @shugazi

It’s kind of surreal to see it all come to an end in this way. From like 2014-2018, I was very deep into the Emo fandom, and really the band that made that happen was panic!. I believe a lot of what made panic! so lucrative was the work and love Ryan Ross put into at the very start. I can’t pretend like I don’t feel that Brendan was riding off the Panic! brand for that long solely to manipulate nostalgia and the past success that name was associated with. Ryan Ross deserves so much of the credit for making Panic! the initial success it was. Then, we have Dallon Weekes who penned some of the best Panic! songs post-Ryan. There’s something genuinely disturbing in the fact that Brendan has been the only remaining member for like at LEAST two to three sets of different band members. I think that speaks volumes. Anyway, Ryan Ross + Dallon Weekes collaboration, when?

Sincere question... Someone know how true is that Pete Wentz help in the production of V&V ? Some say he helped Brendon after the split

you're so correct la devotee will never not be an absolute banger

insane how of 18 years of panic at the disco being a thing, we got 4 years of good music

Not finished with the video yet, but hearing you say Trade Mistakes is one of your least favorites from Vices made my heart drop ngl. It’s easily my favorite patd song. Though, that’s mostly just because I hear so much of Pete Wentz’s influence in the lyrics and I adore Pete’s lyricism.

tbh, all i want in life at this point is for ryan ross to release more music... he has such a unique voice and he's such an amazing songwriter and it sucks to think how many people give the credit to brendon for the first two albums...

Time to Dance is the most underrated & best Panic! song... I said what I said... I love the book it's based on; Invisible Monsters. As a UK teen going to Skins house parties back then (if you know, then you know), everyone would go nuts when that song started blasting... I'm glad I got to see them before they (to put it nicely) went downhill... But the writing & song quality were never the same when the main lyricist Ryan Ross left... Great video Kayla!

Thank you, you've made me appreciate him even more.

I started listening when Death of a Bachelor came out and really fell in love with their previous albums, i skimmed the top of the fandom but never dove in, sometimes i think it was for the better 😭

I found them in 2014 and I legit was obseeeessed with brendon until like 2017. the doab album was my shit. saw them live, it was wild and very fun. then got more into their lore, discovered ryan and jon, discovered the young veins, realised that while all patd albums were great, the first two were superior. (especially pretty odd, it's a masterpiece) after that and after pray for the wicked it became clear that brendon was just too obnoxious, and without other band members it was hard to hide in the music and the actions. plus idk what he did to his voice, he sounds so strained and very "2D" in viva la veangence. anyways, good riddance to what was left of patd, and long live ryan ross and dallon weekes!

i had the exact same response when i saw he was putting panic aside. i felt like i SHOULD be feeling something, but i didn’t. we already grieved old panic for so long, that when it was actually over, the old fans had been so disconnected it didn’t even affect us. the last few albums were such a large distance from what panic once was, that i feel like a lot of us already accepted patd, as we knew it, was gone for good.

I feel exactly the same. We had been grieving Panic! for so long already it just felt like a strange reaffirmation. I was a pretty hardcore fan and still listen to the older albums. I have a 10 y/o merch sweater i wear to sleep so I hold it as a band pretty close to my heart, but then Brendon released the most “huh” album and announced his retirement a few weeks after and I was just so detached at that point

Thank you for making this video, it makes the information a lot more quick and digestible, and you clearly have a background as a fan, so you’re more able to speak about it. I first got into Panic! around 2016, and Pray for the Wicked was actually my first CD I had gotten from them. The I started going backwards in their career, and looking at older songs, and could understand how the style changed a lot, but I still liked most albums of them (except for Pretty Odd). Then I remember the *shock* I had when “ME” by Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie came onto the radio in 2019 xD Like, two artists I never thought would collab. Almost as big a shock as Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber working together. So I was definitely sad when everything went down with Brendon Urie, as I became a big fan quickly, and was dreaming of going to a Panic! At The Disco concert. Now, much later, my want is on Måneskin and Fall Out Boy. Edit: Damn, I never heard of these other allegations (and actually proven ones), I just heard of the bodyguard SA’ing someone, and Brendon not speaking out against it.

I didn’t truly get into Panic until about late 2017 (I knew a few of their songs and gradually listened more) and like many others they played a huge role in my life musically. PFTW was the first new album I was able to experience. Though I entered the fan base late I was a huge fan of their sound, praised Brendon’s vocal capabilities and was well versed in parts of their career. With all of that said I could DEFINITELY see and hear the shift in tone and energy. PFTW had some songs I liked but it wasn’t my favorite and I really didn’t pick up Viva Las Vengence after my initial listen. I love listening to live performances and so hearing Brendon’s recent and strained sound was honestly so jarring. When the band finally made their official ending announcement, I also didn’t feel anything. All I could honestly say was, it was their time to go.

Yeah, and a lot of people characterize the final 'disbandment' as him giving up, but I really do think that was the best thing he could've done for his kid (and secondarily, probably also for the band). Hopefully that kid never finds this rabbit hole on the internet, because I don't think it'd be past some people online who felt personally betrayed to harass the kid.

I've had a sick sense of satisfaction watching fans turn on him because he's left a bad taste in my mouth ever since Ryan and Jon left. I can't imagine how Ryan felt watching him continue on under the name and band that was essentially his brainchild and run it into the ground. Wish that young veins had had Brendon's post-panic success

@@WalkingTravisty bro... Nobody's trying to erase Spencer. Honestly I wish he had stuck with Ryan and Jon when the band split, especially since he and Ryan were childhood friends. I think it's really sad the way things went down. But seeing as how Ryan wrote the entirety of fever, I do think it's messed up that P!ATD continued on under that name without him. I do think he was the biggest contributor to their early success, and I won't apologize for that. His songs made the band what it was and HE was the one who got screwed over. I agree that they had equal rights to the name, but the difference is Ryan and Jon didn't use it. They started a new project, Brendon and Spencer should have done the same. I think it's equally messed up that Brendon continued on as Panic! after Spencer left. P!ATD is not BRENDON. It's Ryan, Spencer, Jon, and Brendon. ***And for the record, I don't think it would have been cool for Ryan and Jon to continue on under the name either, especially since Brendon was such a recognizable face for the band. If they couldn't come to an agreement on the band's direction, that should have been the end of panic altogether. My point is that P!ATD was never JUST Brendon so he had no right to treat it as such with his ever revolving pool of disposable backup players

@@shannonsullivan6480 so many issues here. Firstly, you literally are erasing Spencer when you say Ryan "wrote the entirety of Fever". I don't know where you got that from, but it's provably false with the barest amount of googling. Brendon, Spencer and Ryan wrote all the music for the first album together. Ryan wrote the lyrics, NOT all the music. Saying Ryan was the biggest contributor is also erasing Spencer AND is just plain ignorant of the early days of Panic. Spencer was crucial to the band's image as he was primarily in charge of their Fever era theatrics: the make up, the costumes, the staging. Moreover, it was actually Brendon's stage presence that helped propel them to fame. He was charismatic and energetic in a way that no one else in the band was. Together, it was mainly Spencer and Brendon made the live shows exciting, that made the fans fall in love with the band and propel them to fame. Finally, Ryan didn't get screwed over. He wanted to end Panic. He has never (afaik) expressed any kind of bitterness towards Spencer and Brendon for "screwing him over". They wanted to keep the band name and that surprised him. The assertion that he was somehow done wrong in this equation is baseless fanfiction. He wanted a fresh start and he got it. By the time Brendon became the sole member, he had every right to lay claim to the band's name. He drove their initial success with his stage presence, wrote music for every single album, sang on every single album and had contributed more than any other member at that point. Again: for the actual people involved, there is no drama. I cannot imagine how weird it must be for them to have their names constantly dragged into this petty hate campaign by children on the internet. It happened 15 years ago! Let them move on yeesh...

I was so incredibly excited, got onto Spotify and listened to Pray for the Wicked front to back. Never listened to that goddamn album, or anything else post-split since. Never will.
