They also gained a dedicated fanbase, known as the Skeleton Clique, who were drawn to the band's unique sound and relatable lyrics. In 2015, Twenty One Pilots released their fourth studio album, "Blurryface." The album marked a significant evolution in the band's sound, incorporating more pop and electronic elements while still retaining their signature style.
