It feels like the fanbase is shifting in tone

Opinion

I’ve been following the band for a while, and I feel like there’s been a shift in the tone of the community. There used to be a lot more support and consideration, but things are just dissolving. I’ve seen them live a few times over the years, and fan behavior at their live shows the past few years has been rapidly declining : I.e., booing at songs they think are “boring,” literally STEALING at concerts (Josh’s drum, the Level of Concern hard drive) and exhibiting more entitled behavior overall. I saw a post on this thread that touched on this theme a while back and how this recent shift in attitude is very likely one of the contributing factors for the band’s upcoming haitus from releasing new music and touring.

For example: One fan on this community had posted today about coming across an insane amount of twenty one pilots figurines (with a photo), including multiple Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun individuals, sets of the two, and several Ned figurines

When people in the comments started to ask if they were for sale, or even just inquiring as to what OP was planning to do with them, they casually said they’re likely going to end up “back in the same dark cardboard somewhere lol” and another saying they won’t sell because they’re a “collector (hoarder 🤪)” I made a comment pointing out that it was kind of wild to be so open about letting discontinued collectibles rot in a box somewhere when you have them in such excess-they made a salty reply about how they won’t be rotting and they already have several of each displayed, but deleted the post and blocked me before I could even read it (had to catch that bit from my notifications)

Just kind of baffling imo
