Welcome to the song battle! Discuss the two songs here. The winner will be revealed <t:1710172800:R>
This is a tough one. I love the emotional depth of Migraine, that moment has helped me through some stuff. Meanwhile, Hometown's just has that groovy beat.
It's easy to daydream to, drift off to
Perfect driving song, I always imagine I'm riding in the car when it plays
Hometown is a bop but I know it's gonna get hated on 🥲
dare I say mid battle
I'm listening to them both rn before I make the decision
Smart.
verses of migraine are great but the chorus is just not it for me
hometown overall is eh
Does it help that the drums at 3:02 in hometown transition perfectly into a rickroll?😏
migraine :)
I love Hometown but Migraine is the crying song
Well. After listening to both of them. Migraine has better lyrics, but I find Hometown more pleasant to listen to.
BUT THAT BRIDGE IN MIGRAINE THO
I might vote for it just for that bridge 
Idk I'll come back later
i feel like this is the first one that i'm not able to immediately pick
okay this is cruel…….
imma need to sit on this one for a bit
i was just talking with my friends about migraines lyrics too 💔
Migraine is probably the best Vessel song I’m ngl
are there tøp songs you DO like 😭
Hometown is one of the least Tøp songs on Blurryface too
yes
I think I’m going with hometown I like listening to it more I think
there’s 84 songs in this battle so it’s not too unlucky that the first few were songs i didn’t like
Sundays are my suicide days 🙏
hometown is nice but I think its kinda just blurryface filler
Ikr it's one of the only songs that I have a hard time believing they sang 😂 it just doesn't sound like a tøp song
okay just for that im voting for hometown
LMAO
it does not deserve that slander
truly
justice for hometown
It’s a good song it just sounds like a lot of popular music at the time
Chorus at least
what DOES tøp sound like 💀
It’s a good song it just sounds like a lot of popular music at the time
i love migraine too tho so this is hard
really
i think it has such a unique sound tbh
Top are good at that tbf
why does blurryface have the tape but vessel doesnt
it does
not on the thing
oh
Don't get me wrong I like hometown but it just sounds so different
I love Hometown. Easy vote.
Look Hometown in my opinion the best vibez, it feels haunting yet comforting
i feel like hometown fits in very well with blurryface
Migraine 100%
[BUZZER NOISE] /j 
insane take
i do quite dislike hometown a bit a smidge just a small amount

dont tell storn
tsostorm
A
ASDFRGHJKL;'#

I LITERALLY JUST HAD A WHOLE THING W HOMETOWN LAST NIGHT W PPL 😭
hometown is.....
ok
hometown is a fucking W

not than migrain i looooowv vessel
already +100 for vessel
i need to relisten to hometown
idk its just so commercialcore
and it gets borijg 
crushtoe good name
When the song goes “ashadadesairatme” >>>>>>>
it took me years to figure out what the first line in Hometown was
😭
Putawayputaway
ok listening to hoemtown to guve it a fair chance 
I think hometown vs migraine is at least a fair fight
Neither one is boxing above its weight class here
Not like man vs man on international women’s day
This one is kind of hard to choose for me because their both around the same level of good for me
but i really love hometown, some bits in migraine sure may be corny to some but.. its also nostalgic and has some powerful lyrics id say
hometown has this more polished feel though and I really like the whole song in general especially with its instrumental
Am I the ooonly ONE I KNOW OH
these r both good but hometown
C’mon bruh, Migraine is ICONIC.
Yeah it is iconic definitely especially being from vessel but I gotta put my vote on hometown
its a song that brings many people together too
Help I think I forgot to do the one yesterday
I spelled hometown wrong with the reactions, forgive me 🙏🙏🙏
remove the reactions and start over then tf
This is what I think of when I hear Migraine
Sorry hometown 🔛🔝
hometown is good but migraine>>>
Nuh huh
watching all the hometown haters
upset rn
one of those where i think a brilliant song is losing out on closer battles because a more popular song is paired with it
Migraine SWEEEP
Aaaa this one is tough for me
I loveeee Migraine
It's so fun to sing along to
But I love the music in Hometown kbskbabk
NOOOOOOOOOO NICO HOW COULD YOU
actually there's no competition it's migraine but like I LOVE HOMETOWN WTF


Just my personal opinion
i know 🥰🥰🥰

side eye
I honestly can't decide, but my dad's all time fav is hometown
pick migraine/j
Ok be like that 
but they're both awesome
😐
Pls tell me you know I’m just being a goofy goober
Autumn noooo don’t hate me
😠
my icecream melted
Dang this is reminding me of when I was in a super toxic friend group 😭
migraine is highkey one of their worst songs ngl
😧
(Thing is they were dead serious with this stuff)
Bro just sending emojis is so passive aggressive
/j
🤭
😔😟😡😨😐😬😦
😭
🤠

No not this
Bro you’re talking exactly like my worse enemy rn 😭😭😭
i love making people angry and i also genuinely hate the song so this is a win win
RUBY???????????
how dare you have RUBY at ut bottom
rubys kinda ableist it gives me the ick
HELLPE

bc its about someone w down syndrome
the run anf go is valid but i still lowv the run and go
and the stereotype that disabled people are somehow holy as result of their disability is very ,,,, problematic at best
run and go is fine its just boring , i didnt realize it was gonna be so low for me
love how nobody is defending nti or saturday lmao
this is real 😭
i just lowv vessel
fair enough
saturdya idc what ppl say and nti is.... 
vessel is my least fav by FAR
and now youre blocked ! /ref /j
literally do it idc
Mfw Saturday is my favorite song 
i have so many people blocked for funsies bc discord doesnt really do anything about you having people blocked
anyway vote hometown
or buffyface will beat you up
i’m sorry guys hometown is ass
but i respect everyone’s opinions
oh so bug can voice their opinion and be fine and i get dragged through the mud
yeah
its a jok 😭 but its also yall said diff songs
bc hometown womp womp /J
i actuallt need to losten to bf again fr
i love vessel but hometown >
who would you pick a lyrical masterpiece or a car commercial
https://youtu.be/svZ-MwQiq-k?si=1b9JzKzwa_hjHNPw
The background music is twenty one pilots - Hometown (instrumental)
car commerical 🙏🏻
CAR COMMERCIAL
WRONG
EXAXCLTY
migraine is NOT a lyrical masterpiece
god the vibes on hometown are immaculate the music driving along to hometown MMMM
but MIGRAINE I lost my minddddd when they played it in concert
migraine is migriane 💪 /j
car commercial🔥🔥

i rmeber when i first read that verse
👼
this ALONE got me through a whole year of my life
I had "KYM" written on my white board to get me through a rough time

so like I can't choose vibes over migraine and turn my back on a song that did for me more than 99% of my friends and family
It's very nostalgic and very meaningful but I think overall hometown brings a more positive and hopeful outlook to many
I do like the lyricism though alot in migraine but hometown hits more marks for me
im glad it helped you, i think migraine is a very special song considering how popular it was too
i came in expecting to choose migraine but on a relisten of each hometown was surprisingly the winner
i think this one is going to be close though
me too
someone should make a cursed "hometown instrumental with migraine lyrics" to get the best of both worlds
if someone makes it I'm giving them gold
like literally only vocals on instrumental 😭
man the depresssss1ss2ss3ssing thoughts how could you guys

"life has a hopeful undertone" checkmate migraine has it all
hometown is overall more comforting is what im saying not that mirgraine doesnt have hints of positive outlook, but alot of the song is tyler expressing himself and his worries
I know I'm jk
i just listened to both hometown lyrics give me nothing but God the vibes it brings are insane
i dont think thats what hes implying
also im sure he talked it over with the parents too
literally just couldve been a song to uplift her, we dont know the full context and what happened behind the scenes
I LOVE this part of Migraine like the drum stick tapping and the vocals UGH if I vote for migraine it will be solely because of this bridge
And "we made it this far, kid" 
YES THIS
Actually so real for that
screw it if I go down with migraine I go down with migraine
i think they wernt being serious but if they were then ur right i’m sorry 😭
m i g w a i n e
‼️
i wanst srs i was just being silly 😭
[EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]
yea i assumed so
did you read my explanation / are you disabled
In “Ruby,” Tyler is talking about the girl Ruby in particular; he’s not making a blanket statement or stereotype about disabled people. He sees Ruby as a pure soul, someone who seemingly sees past the world’s problems and sets an example of how we should all be. Of course, this is all (very sweet and touching) sentiment, not a literal disparity he’s setting between her and the rest of the world, let alone, disabled people and the rest of the world.
I did. And on that note, there can be some truth to the “angelic” sentiment. I’m not disabled, but I’ve seen what Tyler is describing firsthand in my older brother who has Down Syndrome whom I’ve grown up with for the past 18 years.
!!!!
That “angelic” and “pure” sense is what I’ve always seen in my brother, and something I’ve always admired almost in the same way Tyler admires Ruby in the song.
Migraine. Thats my only biased answer
Thats the first song i ever heard from the band
oh right this is a thread about migraine v hometown 💀
And thats my favorite song of theirs to this day
migraine all day tbh
😭😭😭😭😭
i love migraine sm
I love hometown but since but my other fav got destroyed. I need Migraine to survive
(Formidable got snubbed 😦
btw i don’t mean to detract from your opinion on whether you like the song Ruby or not, i just wanted to share my personal insight on it since i saw you brought it up. and i really appreciate and respect your initiative to be anti-ableist in your reasoning. that alone is admirable 💙
There there
Migraine !!
there needs to be one with all the losers
and we keep going till theres an agreed upon worst tøp song
just make me mod already 🗣️🗣️
thats fair , and i dont feel the need to cancel tyler or anything. but i personally find the song unlistenable - i have neurological and physical disabilities and was in special needs for elementary school , and so i have a lot of trauma around teachers acting like i and my peers are "too pure for this world" while also physically abusing us. so the sentiment is very triggering to say the least. i dont see people who enjoy the song as evil , nor do i feel that tyler meant it in a malicious way , but i just never wanna listen to the song ever again personally ! and your "incorrect buzzer" joke wasnt very nice or conducive to any nuance , but im glad you elaborated
i do still think this is a very cop-out answer , bc you can most definitely be ableist to one individual without making blanket statements
Thank you for elaborating on your experiences. I’m very sorry you had to go through that. It’s genuinely heartbreaking to see such abusive environments go unchecked and normalized. My brother experienced forms of abuse as well in special ed environments, and it was definitely a taxing experience to say the least. But I can’t compare my secondhand experience to your firsthand one. But now knowing more, I have more clarity as to where your valid repulsion from the song comes from, and I apologize for not considering that sooner. And I’m sorry for that joke earlier; that was pretty uncalled for in retrospect.
WAIT @hexed canopy WHAT DID YOU PICK THIS WAS SO HARD
I DIDNT PICK YET
🫣
this the hardest one yet fr
genuinely
honestly im somewhat doubting my decision to pick hometown now because i watched the toy piano cover of it and reminded me why i love it alot
not that i didnt love it before but hometown is also so good 😭 this one is actually hard idk how people can pick one
some of these need a both option even though i know that defeats the purpose
oh i forgot i could change my vote this changes everything
me leaving the song battle number 12 with migraine shoved up my ass
LMAO
imagine it only gets worse from here like we get goner v truce id die
yeah , i forget people in online spaces cant see how visibly disabled i am lmao. in irl conversations its usually the first thing anyone notices and it dictates a lot of how conversations start and continue. im glad to read youre so supportive of your brother
i think hometown is a great song in itself but im starting to see the appeal on a few more listens but only out of pure nostalgia thats more than whati have for hometown. i think this is honestly so hard lol i wouldnt have picked if i didnt have to
i dont think id even partake
i’d fr be like brb deleting my account
the emotional songs is when it gets harder for me to choose honestly which is alot of the discography but i still cant stand it
i can barely already pick a favourite album
trench
tbh migraine to me is so good but sometimes all i can think of is the like migraine but GARDEN

The Mom's Spaghetti of Twenty One Pilots
This version is not necessarily finished but i thought i would upload it for now (Edit: Yeah I'm not changing it lol)

that
i just listened to the intro of migraine for the first time in like
months
i might vote migraine im ngl and i CANNOT believe its because of the GARDEN vidro
am i the only one i know
video
nvm i went to go vote and i cant
i did vote migraine but i had to sit here and think about it for like 10 minutes
its like being forced to choose between children
this has to be worse than sophies choice
there’s also one for holding on to you
i’ll post that one when we get there
cant wait
love love love migraine
i have always been a hometown hater sorry
i can't help who i am
youre so up for that, live ur truth !!
/j fro all the hometownieers
and when i speak up as a migraine hater you all shun me
did u not see the tone tag
the migriane lowvers shun bc they like migraine !! its all jokin tho I HOPE 😭
liking a song or not is NOT that deep
^
im ngl i dont understand tone tags
This is not mine but I'm just gonna leave this here
as u should be
If migraine loses. I will shame all of you /jk
I already expect it and I already shame them but understandably bc hometown is a banger
im dying
if hometown loses im blocking everyone in this chat
Bruh
How would hometown win
I’m sorry but migraine is an objectively better written song with infinitely more meaning
nico made the most difficult poll so far so i blocked brendon urie
Hometown is just prettier to listen to
block me from now hater
/jk
I love hometown I'm just extremely loyal to migraine
ok bet
they rly did
i actually strongly disagree w migraines intended message , i feel like as someone who was very suicidal migraine really missed the mark
but im glad it helped you i guess
to me it comes down to lyrics vs instrumentals
hometown is also very meaningful
and hometown has better instrumentals and is just objectively better on every marker
I agree but I still voted for migraine. It just has more meaning to me
i think hometown is boring that's why i don't like i'm sorry it's also how i feel about the hype
oh yeah thanks for telling me im a mental illness poser very nice of you✌️
Exactly
Hometown is so pretty imo but totally agree that the hype is kinda boring
hometown is better than the hype at least. like if i'm in the right mood i can listen to hometown
https://youtu.be/svZ-MwQiq-k?si=oBypLp_4nky-4K1d it's not boring it's perfect for a car commercial
The background music is twenty one pilots - Hometown (instrumental)
this doesn't make it not boring to me
I feel like it's unfair to compare hometown and migraine tbh they bring different things to the table
THAT is true they are just simply not similar vibes
lol if anyone im mostly @ing tyler here , i understand hes trying to give advice w migraine but like the kind of advice he gives is very specific to the type of mental illness he has. im glad it worked for you but lowkey it was the opposite of the kinda thing i needed to hear at the time
migraine to me is more like personal relatability and not every song is going to be a universal experience even within something more specific like mental illness
I think migraine is more of a "I know what youre feeling" and not an advice
yea
it made me feel not alone
the meaning of hometown:
'oh no its so dark and im in my hometown : (' /j idek what its abt rlly 😭 ik the lore side but 
i don't relate to mulberry street for example but i still like the song
I have absolutely no idea what hometown is supposed to symbolize lyrically
for me as someone who had to flee my home country bc its 10 years in prison to be gay , "my hometowns in the dark" actually really resonated
for me it's a catchy lyric that repeats 1000 times
gobsmacked I'm revoking your nitro privileges /lh
and your reacting privileges (jk I can't do any of that)

let it cook
like i said , we can all interpret stuff in our own ways. but i feel like migraine is so preachy and only has 1 interpretation , which if thats meaningful to you thats great , but its kinda just very one-note and negates the idea that other people struggle w things differently , and that "kill your mind" doesnt work for everyone
i still think that lyric is one of the worst pieces of advice to give out just as a blanket statement to a large audience. idk maybe its helpful to some , but definitely not for me
i have never considered it to be advice
just bc it focuses on one thing doesn't mean it's saying the rest doesn't exist the man can't speak for everything
he'll speak for his experiences also I really don't think it's an advice it's what he does and it might be healthy or unhealthy it's not advice it's just "that's what I do"
like
it's more of a descriptive rant "the only way I can keep going is by killing my mind" it's not "welcome to my diy channel kill your mind of you wanna stay alive"
HELP
it's like saying Tyler is telling people to overcompensate no he's describing what he usually does
fair enough. but a lot of the phrasing feels like "heres what you should do when you have a problem" so it comes off as preachy
a lot of vessel is like that
eeerrrmm
i dont particularly disagree bc at the end everyone relates to lyrics differently, and perhaps at that point of ur life you were looking more for advice and that why you percieved the tone that way. to me top was always about relatability and having my negative feelings validated bc this shit has you imposter syndroming yourself a lot and to me like i said it made me feel not alone
and perhaps (more at that point than now but i still do to a degree) shoving things down was my only way to keep going bc i had no other option if i needed to keep moving forward, and migraine just really describes how insane it gets in your head and his solution to just shush it down whether healthy or unhealthy did keep me going
according to genius hometown is an extremely christian song lol
HELP IDK i don’t wanna cause problems idk how to express my opinion
Everything they write is technically Christian because they are, but I don’t think pretty much anything is “extremely” so LOL, that’s a lil dramatic
Genius always doin the most and for what
go for it we will only chase you out with pitchforks no big deal
yea i dont think its supposed to actually mean that i think he went very light on the christian references in his newer albums

im just tryna find any lyrical relevence to hometown to me its an amazing song but not for lyrical reasons
it always came off to me as "we are the clique we are the underdogs we live in darkness we are so cool and edgy no one gets us normal people scare me
"
also like are you implying theres something wrong w a song being christian ????

no
but itll absolutely not to be to the extent genius made it seem like it is 😭
https://genius.com/11554189 EVERY SINGLE LINE
genius is just fan added annotations too right
yea i guess 91 people agreed to these meanings

oh my cat did a little type
ok i voted migraine
no it wont 

Hometown is great, and I appreciate it even more each time I hear it again, but I’m going Migraine. It was the first TØP I ever heard and ultimately the song that started it all for me and my love for this band
im sorry but Hometown beats, the perfect nightlife song


thats true
I never DENIEEEDD
imagine its like 12 votes migriane 😭
it hurts me to push against hometown but MIGRAIIINE
i would leave the clique
IHOPE AT LEST
but for my good vibes bias im still sticking to hometown
i have so many good connections regarding that song
a lot of people are going hometown but I'm willing to sink with migraine
ngl let it die here I don't want to pick between it and like something like hoty
or one of the actually better songs

i think i would go for migraine if i didnt really looped Hometown that much
istg I'm hacking whatever server ur using emotes from and deleting all the emotes
WHY THO ! 😭
./j
im usinf them from silly servers
way too many emotes 
they have like 200 or smtg sp goodluck !
ILL FIGURE IT OUT




im on the hometown team but
i think youre right...

migraine will probably win but i dont want the vote to be too lopsided
fr
do we think this one will be closer than iofb vs the hype (13 vote difference)
I wanna hear the lore side of Hometown
i watche sa video and its like, in dema they dont like the sun or smtg so theyre constant;y ||b-rning bodies i think??|| to make smoke to keep the sun out - "where were from theres no sun, our hometown in the dark" -dema citizens
I THINK SO i watched a video afn it mentioned it, i am no theorist 😭
closer than the last 5 battles at least
That's...interesting because I've never heard anything like that in other pieces of lore...
Fascinating take tho
i know me to 😭
it was just smtg that was mentioned and i was like ok 
its a cool thoery tho
the vidoe goes more in depth w seizing and vialism relting to that thoeyr
You wouldn't happen to still have that video would you

i know the videos title lemme grad it\
grab
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5toUgKuMgXc&pp=ygUTdmlhbGlzbSBmb3IgZHVtbWllcw%3D%3D
the hometown mention/theory is at 7:00 
Vialism is one of the Trench storyline's most prominent mysteries. It seldom receives attention from Tyler and Josh as it is rarely talked about. It has never been directly mentioned in any music videos or songs at all. We only know it exists thanks to the dmaorg and, even then, information is scarce.
The lack of information on vialism is baffl...
Solid thanks

I mean I haven't heard that specifically in the context of the actual lore, but waaaaay back when Josh revealed the dema stuff and we first heard of towers of silence it was revealed that those irl towers were ||for burning bodies||
I dont think I've heard of lore bishops doing that though
but doesn't ||burning the bodies|| defeat the purpose of vialism they need them to control them
can't control ashes 
(pic is of towers of silence I spoilered it bc it might be disturbing in context)
holy shit its dema im an ancient member of her discord server
Shoot I can’t choose
may I interest you in a migraine vote
But in the lore don't vultures ||eat the bodies and then bones are buried under neon gravestones||? So like are they saving the bodies for seizing or not? Or some and not others?
We gotta let the lion win 💪🦁
thats true too hmmm perhaps dema is so good at what they do they got an overflow and not all of them are needed for seizing
Sheesh
or maybe once they're done seizing they no longer need it
yes dark
the whole seizing thing is so dark if you think too long about it 💀 ||first stage of enjoying overcompensate is learning all the signs tyler made and dancing along, second stage is realizing tyler made a corpse do all of that dancing and we're just vibing along a corpse that was made to dance unconsciously obviously bc its a corpse||
they control then burn after the time?? mayb that?
1 hour 43 minutes until migraine wins
nuh uh its hometown
migraineeee goes hard live
now that I AGREE
but hometown imo for me beats migraine
hometown live isnt great cause its usually cut short when i watched those yt vids of it
fr
they need to redo it live
hometown and pretty much every song in blurryface is awesome but migraine is just so nostalgic and different fr
i like both songs but migraine is more nostalgic for me so
I lied apparently because Nico doesn’t respect daylight savings
Hating the time change, I relied on arguing over the song battle being my 10am activity at work
Petition to make the next battle 23 hours to shift it back to where it was
THIS
Before the time change, it fell during my 3rd hour class
Now it'll be during lunch at 11
And I go to math after lunch
And that's the one class hour that I have a teacher who is strict with phones
So I'll have to wait til 12 something to see it 
i hate the time change because it pushed back my daily 🤨
also because i forgot it was happening
Unfortunately, Dema does not observe daylight savings time (it's in Arizona)

MIGTAINE WON???????
OBVIOUSLY
I DIDNT THJNK IT WOULD
That actually did surprise me I thought it would be close
what the FUCK
migraine da best idk what to tell u...
it is not that significantly better than hometown that it should be a sweep
i knew migraine would win but i didnt think it would be that big of a gap

i fr thought it would be closer
but a sweep?? did not see that coming
like within 10
i didnt even expect it to win 
lowkey i think todays gonna be the same way
goner better sweep
blocking all of you as promised <3
LMAO
gg eabenson
last result surprised me I thought it'll at least be close
I think I advocated a little too hard
it was a loss loss situation I love both songs but it had to be done
it was not a loss loss situation it was one of their best vs one of their worst
id say A vs F
well the sweep says otherwise so ahahah

gg see you next real battle today's isn't worth fighting for
./lh
honestly yea fair
gg
If Goner doesn’t win this one I’m going to be just a little sad. That’s one of the best songs to just listen to in bed and vent
ikr, recount now
I TOLD U !!
SWEEEP thats actually so shocking its a sweep what the fleep 😭 
hometown my beloved... 😭
Yes
PLEASE /j
i mean itd def be fitting
pls do
so fucking real (i live in arizona)
NO
I like this plan
do it

me
