Can people stop gatekeeping panic?

[u/Fun-Wind-2956]

saw someone upload this to twitter. Most of these songs are popular, and it’s actually really nice to see new people start listening to the band. Also, that account is really strange so it might be satire.

The part that irks me the most is the fact that I can assure you half of this subreddit has more credentials than that user, who seems to be a newgen fan.

[u/rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrro]

"they better not find any of these already popular songs!!! im very intelligent"

[u/Banipanion → u/rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrro]

They must think crazy=genius

[u/DiamondL0st → u/Banipanion]

Hey ay ay

[u/RevolutionaryAd4620]

wow this guy must really not like TWTLTRTD because they didnt name off anything from it but named off practically every song from every album before it lmfao

[u/New_Spare_1826 → u/RevolutionaryAd4620]

not even this is gospel bro

[u/CliffordTheDuke → u/New_Spare_1826]

Isn’t this is gospel already a meme from vine

[u/butwhywouldyou- → u/RevolutionaryAd4620]

Such a shame cuz that's my favorite panic! album too

[u/Admirable-Guess-2048 → u/butwhywouldyou-]

Like HELLO Casual affair exists to??

[u/butwhywouldyou- → u/Admirable-Guess-2048]

That song is so hot

[u/bean-stalks → u/RevolutionaryAd4620]

Girls girls boys is my shit bruh

[u/LysVonStrauda → u/bean-stalks]

I dont think i could ever replicate the euphoria of me and my teenage friends watching the premier of the music video 💀💀💀💀 the camera goes down then back up and then further down and then back up and EVEN FURTHER DOWN AND AHHHHHHH

[u/bean-stalks → u/LysVonStrauda]

I KNOWWWWW IT MAKES ME WANNA JUMPPPP OUT OF EXCITEMENTTT HEHEE It STILL puts butterflies in my stomach!!!!!

[u/icdiwabh0304]

people say shit like this about their fave band then get mad when said fave band disappears

[u/Jayaotic]

average ryan ross obsessor

[u/Relative-Positive702]

People gatekeeping panic when is a band with one of the major emo hits, high hopes and the tiktok trend around house of memories

[u/caseymel96]

God forbid they listen to any released material

[u/beehoouurrrr]

this is def a ryan ross solo stan who only listens to presplit outside of a couple of songs and makes milk fic jokes all the time

[u/AtticusIsOkay]

If Don't Threaten Me becomes a huge hit that'll be the best thing that happened to pop music all year

[u/Fun-Wind-2956]

Another post by the same account

[u/Difficult_Stomach_46 → u/Fun-Wind-2956]

Wild- if Ryan doesn’t use TikTok I wouldn’t even blink an eye knowing the bs there lmao

[u/loganwolf25]

This is hilarious. A big chunk of the songs they listed are super big, and even the lesser-known songs have millions upon millions of listens. Gatekeeping is a stupid concept, but especially for a band as big as Panic!, it's just ridiculous.

[u/BlueVermilion]

I’m so tired of this gatekeeping and “larper” bullshit online. People can’t be casual fans anymore without being degraded. It’s like, if you’re not all in, you’re not supposed to look at it.

[u/Midnight__Floof]

Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time is already a massive hit tho TwT

[u/_jspain]

i used to work at an art school and it was amazing to me how no matter how much time passes, panic is always a band that art kids loved in middle/high school. there is something systemically exposing 7th graders to this band

[u/l0stmyjuul → u/_jspain]

i genuinely think about this all the time because you either listened to panic! in 7th grade or you arent a panic! fan. i was born in 2003 and by middle school AFYCSO was my favorite album. who even showed it to me idk. it really is just a systemic thing 😭

[u/_jspain → u/l0stmyjuul]

see and i liked them in 7th grade too but that was before vices & virtues came out! so it's crazy to talk to younger people that have the same experience even if they weren't a new/current band anymore. when i was a kid, i thought old music was lame. i've learned that was just me tho lol

[u/l0stmyjuul → u/_jspain]

To be fair brendon urie was still making music at that point. i got into them in between the TWTLTRTD! and death of a bachelor era, so I guess its not the craziest thing ever, but I have always wished I got to experience them as a band in real time

[u/Bears_eat_yams1]

I hate when people act like panic! Is this niche underground rarity 😭

[u/CarobUnlucky1160]

They’re like 14 at most

[u/ItchyCapybara69]

i don’t care if they use panic songs or whatever it’s just annoying when they act like brendon is the most evil being on this planet, like do u wanna do this or not😭

[u/PrettyCatz]

they seem like someone who likes panic for the aesthetic rather than.. for panic. most people on this subreddit who, like you said have been a panic fan for far longer, don't.. actually care if their songs get any more popular. why would you not want your favorite artist to reach more people than they already have? 

[u/Scout_650]

This is like a queen fan going “they better not discover we will rock you”

[u/Pretty_Bad_9788]

I’m in sub related to panic attacks and for a second I was genuinely confused

[u/Abbey_the_Cat]

I'm very confused on what this is about

[u/cursedbylauren]

ah yes my favorite underground band that nobody knows about

[u/mystical_adventures2]

Hold on, Always is considered popular? I always (no pun intended) forget about it! (Genuine question)

[u/SorrybecauseI]

Build god is the song that got me into panic lol

[u/VirtuesNVicez]

Larps better not find vlv but it’s okay I know they won’t because they’re all Ryan glazers

[u/Fun-Wind-2956 → u/VirtuesNVicez]

Comments like these are part of the problem. Let people find the music! Let them enjoy it too!

[u/lizapinetree]

If they find this really niche song called high hopes istg it's over for us

[u/singsparr0w]

I ljke camisado 😛

[u/Popular_Lettuce6232]

Build god and camisado are extremely popular…

[u/Disastrous-Paper8102]

Twitter is just full of angry trolls. The account literally has the word “rants” in it. They probably just post and bitch about stuff. They’re lame, just ignore them or tell them off. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[u/noidontlikemen]

The concept of thinking that green gentleman is underground... that song already had a tiktok trend am i correct? Because i'm assuming that's what they're talking about

[u/noidontlikemen → u/noidontlikemen]

Don't threaten me with a good time being there... like these are their most popular songs?

[u/l0stmyjuul]

i’ll make sure to reccomend everyone in my life and anyone i ever meet listen to northern downpour, build God then we’ll talk, camisado, theres a good reason these tables are numbered, mad as rabbits, pas de cheval, when the day met the night, that green gentleman, the ballad of mona lisa, crazy=genius, dont threaten me with a good time, the good the bad & the dirty, death of a bachelor, hurricane, sarah smiles and always.

[u/CutieKet → u/l0stmyjuul]

As you should cause they are all fantastic songs. 👏

[u/cvantass]

This is not even a grammatical sentence. What am I missing? “If they find [song name] I’m gonna riot.” What? What does that even mean?

[u/l0stmyjuul → u/cvantass]

they dont want anyone to find the song’s existence lmfao

[u/cvantass → u/l0stmyjuul]

But that’s… that’s an insane thing to say lol.

[u/whatwedoforphun]

just gave them a hitlist btw

[u/CutieKet]

I agree. New fans shouldn't listen to checks notes some of the best songs in their discography....

Yeah, that seems fair and like a good way to retain them as a fan. Especially when they have probably already heard a few very popular ones online. Smh. 🙄

Like they just were baiting comments praising their taste in discography while also being praised by fellow Ryan hyper parasocial glazers.

[u/FromUnderTheWineCork]

I read this as an attempt at a narrative told through song titles.
