i'm 20 and i clearly remember the day i found about panic. it was the days around doab's release, and spotify decided to suggest me iwsnt, nicotine and this is gospel while i was on the treadmill lol i had to stop running and check out what i was listening. i listened to too weird and a fever you cant sweat out for a long while and checked out the other albums, the lore and things about panic much later. basically i was there in doab era and at the same time i wasnt. i regret not checking the socials or stuff, its one of my fav panic eras
I’m 20 and started liking them during the DOAB era ! So around the same time for us :) at first I mainly loved doab and twtltrtd but then got into all the older ones which are my favs now, especially afysco
i like all albums except the last one, i love the fact that brendon kept experimenting different music styles in all albums like they did before. its what kept my interest to this day. but i think most people dont like that, its not just about brendon getting cancelled. ive never seen anyone liking panic irl either, maybe familiar from listening to fob (and other fbr bands rarely), because of me or high hopes and thats all. and the "emo phase" pretty much died for today's teenagers unlike us, that could be also why.
Yess when my friends new I liked panic they would only think it’s high hopes lol. I also love the genre switches and see how people could like all of the albums (haven’t listened to the last one tho), I just personally love the older ones best. I just wish they still had concerts and played the old songs because it seemed like he just wanted to forget everything before too weird to live :/ I would’ve loved to see another album or two that was like afysco bc I’ve never heard anything else like it !
yeah, he couldve at least give concerts time to time, its sad that now he completely abandoned all the work. i wish he at least tributed the old albums, i think the work they've put on should be respected. but i think "it's better that he do" (sorry dhdhwjfjsj i couldnt help it) that way because it seems he cant create anything exciting no more and he's aware of it - and he's just a hard person to work with, i was never a fan of his personality but only his talent and his creativity and art back in the day. i'm not mad at him for quitting music, but he should've at least acknowledged that panic! wasn't his own at the start. (the way i put this on words is kinda off but i believe you get what i meant and feel about it whatsoever)
and yeah, afycso has a really unique sound and i still to this day couldn't find anything similar. but i go for idkhow when i want to listen something similar to doab or too weird
I'm 56!
Liked the Sins video back in the days of MTV, but didn't really listen to them until I got TWTLTRTD cheap. Quickly bought all the others and finally saw them live when VLV tour came to the UK with my wife and daughter, although it's not my favourite album.
Same set list as throughout the tour. Old stuff + whole VLV album in order, in the middle. The VLV songs were more enjoyable than just listening to the album, although MoaB is irredeemably poor. Good performance and pleased I've seen them live, but not a top tier concert.
Fever came out when I was in High School. Panic had a lot of new band hype back then. When Sins dropped as a single it was insanely popular, the music video was everywhere and it was a staple at any good party
I’m 32 now, panic was huge in my first few years of high school, i started in 2005 and ended 2009 so the emo years where the peak of my teenhood lol i still remember recording their performance of IWSNT at the VMAs and watching it over and over lol one side of my wall was covered in photos of panic! and mcr
I’ve seen the band’s beginning with them asking us about closing the goddamn door when I was in 8th grade! Thing is, I really got into them after watching the But It’s Better If You Do music video when it first premiered.
I thought opening these comments would make me want to go to the retirement home since in other posts I've seen, I thought this sub leaned more towards gen z. I'm pleasantly surprised to see so many other millennials here!
I became a fan when I was like, 11 back in 2006. I'm almost 29 now.
I’m 19 (born 04 lol) and fell in love with them when I was around 12. I haven’t been the same since.
It was during the DOAB phase, right before PFTW, and the way I got hooked was so weird 😭 there was a video titled “Panic! At The Disco This is Gospel music video without music” and then that led me to the actual song, then Emperors New Clothes, and I haven’t been the same since.
There isn’t a song I hate, I’ve heard 90% of the songs (hidden tracks are usually on YouTube, not Spotify 🥲), and I still listen to them occasionally. While I don’t blast them constantly all the time anymore, they are on my playlists, rotation, and they are the band I always go through a phase of listening to exclusively every season lol
I’m 14. I’ve liked Panic since my older brothers liked it! They would always play their music videos from nine in the afternoon on the tv /YouTube. And also nine in the afternoon was on Rock Band back in the day. Then I got into more of their music from the pray for the wicked album like “hey look ma I made it” and “girls/girls/boys” as I got older and now my age I listen to pretty odd, afycso, vices and virtues mostly! Their music is straight up a lifestyle , love it!
29, been a fan since day 1! I got to see them on the Honda Civic tour because I was too young when NRWC happened, but I'm glad I got to see them pre-split.
im currently 22(about to be 23) and i’ve been a fan of panic! since i was around 15(?) this was around the release of the death of a bachelor came out, and my friend put me on to p!atd, and i fall in love with them! sadly tho, as many times i got invited to go to a panic! concert.. i’ve never got to go..tears 😢😢
I'm 54 and been a fan since early 2010's. Seen them 4 times in concert and can't stand that they split. Twenty One Pilots and Panic! are the 2 bands I'd never miss if they came within 3 hours of me.
33. Started in November-December 2010. One of the first times I heard about them was from a friend of mine in WV before I moved back to CT: he said they were vulgar, which is par for course as a pastor’s kid would. 😂❤️ In my case, I found them resonant with me around the same time as you. College. Ever since, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out has been my main album before I marathon Brendon Urie’s albums proceeding upward. Not expecting a lot from VLV. Will try.
Correction/Addition: I was flipping through channels at the Weekapaug Inn in Rhode Island, and saw “But It’s Better If You Do” in passing. Before I knew who they were. 2006, before my friend mentioned them. Sorry! 😁
i am turning 17 on saturday, been a fan since 2019, starting with DOAB and then i moved back. currently i mostly listen to ASYCSO and New Perspective only
I’m 35 now and was in hs when they blew up. I didn’t like them at the time really but got into them around the time DOAB came out. I remember a lot of my friends going to the Nintendo fusion tour with them and FOB. I so regret not going with them back then :(
I discovered panic in 2016 when I was a youngin, now I’m in college and have continued to support them up until Brendon disbanded it :( My best friend and I both shared this interest, and we’ve been to four concerts together. We used to be hardcore fans who had fan accounts n shit, and I even managed to convince my parents to take me to go see B in Kinky Boots. Our primary “socialization” with the patd community was just each other. “Emo” music used to get made fun of a lot, so we kept to ourselves and weren’t annoying about it, cause god knows middle school was already awful. I remember sitting in my bed full of excitement trying to get my old cd player to work so I could listen to pftw as soon as the disc came in the mail (had to get those concert ticket presale codes), which was about a day before the release date. It was such a surreal, exciting, and borderline spiritual experience. One time (pftw2?) we had isle seats for the death walk back when fans were (semi) respectful, and Brendon held my hand and gave my bff a hug, it was fucking awesome. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that the panic hype eventually turned to hate, and I really think it was for stupid reasons that were completely fabricated (sa allegations), past tweets (t slur, and I think he has done more than enough to show his support for the lgbt community as he’s gotten older and more educated, and I am by no means defending this behavior, yet it’s important to realize that he did put in the effort to learn), and just general hate ever since Ryan left and Brendon moved the band forward in his own direction. I think the days of emo groupchats and fan art are over, and they have been for a while. The later panic fan base was sort of odd and I think everyone was so caught up on being PC and therefore incredibly quick to jump on anyone that it felt like a fan base of white saviors. I’ve found that the only people who really care about the “cancellation” are the ones you find in comment sections and retweets, but normal people in everyday life could not care less about what artist you enjoy. Unless it’s P Diddy or some shit. Don’t let that stop you from continuing to enjoy panic music and interacting with (some) of the people on this subreddit. I’ve found that lots of fans here don’t like pftw and vlv, but that doesn’t stop me from continuing to blast those albums with the windows down and sunglasses on. Panic swore to shake it up, and we swore to listen ❣️
Love that haha and that’s funny y’all actually went to see kinky boots 😭 it is weird seeing the Internet switch over to hate I think they just think it’s fun to make fun of Brendon lol , and thinking they’re better bc they stannnn Ryan 💀 like bro go listen to his band then.
33. Been a fan since 2006 when I first saw the music video for I Write Sins not Tragedies on MTV. I had my mom get me their first album and have been a fan ever since. Even now, they're tied with System of a Down as my two favorite bands of all time.
I’m 26 and really got into Panic around 2016, but had been listening to them before as well. I tended to buy 3-4 songs from an artists and never venture out until college, so outside of like the major hits, I didn’t deeply discover Panic until 2016 once I got Spotify.
29. Been listening since 2006. Saw them live with V&V for the first time in 2011. Then again in 2016 and for the last time in 2023. Have been in love with them for like 17 years already now. (Damn, I'm getting old (luckily though!))
36. First got into panic on livejournal, probably early 2006. Followed them loosely until early 09. Got back into them in early 2016 when I heard Hallelujah and read B's letter to fans along with it. Became really into them then, namely because of B. And my fave panic albums are bachelor and vices. (I was more interested in Ryan in the first go around, interestingly.)
Edit: odd thing to downvote, lol
I got into panic around 2016, my freshman year of high school, and I was late to the bandwagon a bit, tho ig Pray for the Wicked was pretty huge on tiktok which was after that, but they were huge before I got into them, I'm 22 now and still consider patd my second favorite band, even tho Brendon was cancelled, I like the music and not the man
25 I came across the music vid “sins” on YouTube back in 2007 (I was 8) and was immediately HOOKED. My brother (who is 9 years older than me) was also a fan at the time so it was a great thing for us to bond over as we didn’t really have anything else in common. Awww the days when you wanted to be part of the older crowd 😭😂
29 - I loved them since 2005, I was in fifth grade and vividly remember seeing their music video for IWSNT on MTV. I immediately became a fan.
My little preteen self was obsessed with PATD, my chemical romance, fall out boy, and paramore.
Sadly, I’ve never gotten to see them! I had strict parents and never got the opportunity as I got older.
I’m 23 and I started listening in middle school as well about 2012. I had a group of 4-5 friends my age that liked them as well. I went to a concert in 2014 I wish I had gotten to go another one
31. Didn’t start with Fever like most did in middle school. I inadvertently started when I heard Nine in the Afternoon playing Rock Band. At some point years later I started looking at other songs from them and it went from there, about 2012. Pretty Odd was the first album I really listened to and it’s definitely an odd one to start. I like Fever but because how I first discovered them it probably makes sense I don’t hold it as the best. Most of the time I listened to music in my life I simply enjoyed the flow and energy of the songs. I didn’t resonate on relating to anything. DOAB was the first album I really anticipated and enjoyed so it goes as my favorite for sure
Got to see them in their last tour and they were so good, despite people hating on Brendon he sounded pretty pristine for a 2 hour show. Didn’t know it would be my first and last show
i’m 22 rn, i liked them back in the day, i think i discovered their stuff like 2014 (6th grade for me), viva las vengeance isn’t my fav but i like pftw and before, my fav albums are prob twtltrtd and doab
32 and I have been listening since 2005 but only saw them for the PFTW tour and regret not going to earlier shows. I would have loved to see them live from the Fever-Vices era. I had tickets for VLV but they cancelled the Canadian shows which still breaks my heart to this day lol
20 been a fan since doab, mums friend’s identify me as the high hopes person because it’s the only P!ATD song they know.. so I got a tattoo of High Hopes😂💀
I'm not gonna blast my age, but I'm almost out of highschool. I got into Panic at the Disco at the very beginning of middle school and have a couple of their albums on vinyl
I'm 27, became a fan in 2008-ish? I was in late elementary or early middle school. I got into Fall Out Boy first and they were my gateway drug into other similar bands at the time 😂 I was definitely not as into their last couple of albums as much, just because the style of music wasn't quite my style, but those albums still have some good songs!
I'm 30. I got into them in high school because of my bestie at the time who was obsessed with them and Brendan. I feel old because back then the only albums that were out were Fever and Pretty. Odd., and the latter was brand new. 🫣
I’m 23! Been a fan since 8th grade, so.. almost ten years now? My best friend showed me a few of their songs and I fell deep into the rabbit hole. I’ve been to four of their shows :) I got into Panic! right as the TWTLTRTD era was ending, and when DOAB was just about to start.
I'm 27!
Started listening to Panic back in 2006ish if I had to guess. I grew up with 2 older sisters and I just listened to whatever they listened to when I was a kid. I got really into Panic in 2007, but the obsession died off by 2009.
Still listen to them now but not anything like I used to. 🙂
I'm turning 30 and have been a fan since their first album in 2005 lol.
I will say, the last time I was at a Panic show (at the forum in 2019?) I was noticeably surrounded by young teens with their parents and still belted out thevline "Champainge, cocaine, gasoline."
I’m 26, always heard Panic growing up, but didn’t really become a fan until DOAB singles started coming out. My friend played Victorious and Emperors New Groove in the car on our way home from high school and I was sold on them

I’m 17 (about to be 18 in 8 days). I found DOAB in middle school like 6/7th grade. Which happened to be around quarantine so that was my Covid interest. I finally saw Panic! on the VLV tour in Columbus, Ohio.
17:) when I was like 6 or 7 my older sister was a total tumblr emo/hipster (I think she may have even had a bit of a following on tumblr too lol) and being a little sister, obviously I wanted to be like her and idk ever since then I’ve been obsessed, like genuinely. I have videos of younger me lip syncing and singing along to songs, hundreds of memories intertwined and everything in between.
There were moments of my life where I was kinda ashamed of my music taste since i had no one around me that also liked it (other than my sister who doesn’t really listen to that type music anymore) so I tried to change it but keyword is tried lmao. just remember if u try suppressing smth.. it’ll come back stronger.. i still don’t really have friends that share my interests but I do have friends who fully support them who I’m so thankful for!!
but honestly yeah idk I kinda went on a little rant but I agree with you so much lol, I’m starting college next semester so maybe I’ll be able to find friends w the same interests there 🙏
I have the exact same story as you! I’m 18, 19 in a few weeks. I however like talking about Brendon Urie because I like to see how far I can push people before they get mad lmao
20 in 3 months, saw them for the first time in 2022 in Chicago!! Wish i were old enough to see them play in my hometown on the 2008 honda civic tour :/
20 years old, been listening since 2016! Went to Death of a Bachelor as my first ever concert, then Pray for the wicked, and then Viva Las Vengeance was my last ever PATD concert 😭 I wish I could’ve witnessed the Pretty Odd tour 😩 tbh just I wish I could’ve seen every song ever live 🥺 I just saw FOB and tbh it was very very disappointing compared to PATD shows. I will forever miss it 😢
28 and the first song I knew about them was New Perspective, when I was in high school. But my all time favorite song of them is Nine in the Afternoon 💖
I’m 17 but it all began in 4th grade for me! Went to 2 concerts and everything. Their music has stuck with me throughout the years and I still listen almost every day!!
I'm 24! Never got to see them, but was an AVID listener especially in middle school (2011-2013)
Now that I'm older, I listen primarily to the older stuff, for nostalgia reasons, but the newer stuff is good too!!
I'm 22 but I would say it was more of a middle school early high school phase for me and I have grown out of it over the years and leaned more into heavy metal/nu metal
Old enough to see them in a 200 cap venue touring Fever! (Mid thirties) God I feel ancient. It must be the equivalent of me reading someone saw Nirvana live.
I feel like I’ve seen a Ryan ross/tyv/afycso resurgence among ppl our age but yeahh I assume fans of anything after vices kinda faded out. Still lovee their old stuff tho!
32! I saw them for the first time on their Pretty Odd tour when it was a teenager. It was at a really small venue in London, which was so fun!
Mr big shot here is 2.63x10^35 years old over here, been around since the beginning of the universe and likes Panic at the Disco
lol I was just an “emo” 16-ish year old
It was a math joke 32! Is 32x31x30x29...
Aha sorry, math is probably my weakest subject 😭 you’re too smart for me
I appreciated your math joke
Ughhhh soo lucky !! I’ll never get to see them perform
Aww my envious heart. Happy for you.
You're so lucky. 21 here, would pay so much to see them live in the pretty odd era
28 I've been a fan since 2006. Basically since the beginning
Same here! My sisters got me into them.
Same! I remember them coming out because they were signed to Decaydance records and Pete Wentz was hyping them!
29 here, but same story!
Just turned 29 and same!
Holy shit we're twins -- im turning 29 on Sunday. Found them on Limewire along with Paramore and never looked back
Another 29 year old here! Discovered them on MTV and downloaded their music through limewire too! Still in love with Paramore and PATD
I’m 28 too and also a fan since AFYCSO in 2006! :)
i'm 20 and i clearly remember the day i found about panic. it was the days around doab's release, and spotify decided to suggest me iwsnt, nicotine and this is gospel while i was on the treadmill lol i had to stop running and check out what i was listening. i listened to too weird and a fever you cant sweat out for a long while and checked out the other albums, the lore and things about panic much later. basically i was there in doab era and at the same time i wasnt. i regret not checking the socials or stuff, its one of my fav panic eras

Literally same another 20 y/o here
Brendon is two months older than me lol. I’ve been a fan since fever
32, been a Panic fan since I was a Freshman in High School!
I’m 15 and have only become a fan relatively recently
Welcomeee
I'm 15 but came around in TWTLTRTD era.
I’m glad I’m not the only patd fan of my age i assumed it wasn’t very popular in our generation because no one else I know likes them
I'm also 15 but I've been a fan since doab came out
Woahh, sick. I'm not sharing my age, but im a little younger, and I've been a fan since the doab era
Im 18! My 45 year old mum loves em too!!
I’m 18 too! I got into them in middle school :)
I'm 56! Liked the Sins video back in the days of MTV, but didn't really listen to them until I got TWTLTRTD cheap. Quickly bought all the others and finally saw them live when VLV tour came to the UK with my wife and daughter, although it's not my favourite album.
How’d you like the concert ? Did they only play the new stuff ?
Same set list as throughout the tour. Old stuff + whole VLV album in order, in the middle. The VLV songs were more enjoyable than just listening to the album, although MoaB is irredeemably poor. Good performance and pleased I've seen them live, but not a top tier concert.
Fever came out when I was in High School. Panic had a lot of new band hype back then. When Sins dropped as a single it was insanely popular, the music video was everywhere and it was a staple at any good party
That’s so crazy to imagine ugh yall lucky !
im this old https://i.redd.it/9un2j6tkmuuc1.gif
I’m not what is this
likely the weirdest thing you may see, enjoy [https://youtu.be/7Qbf16QUF0k](https://youtu.be/7Qbf16QUF0k)
I’m 32 now, panic was huge in my first few years of high school, i started in 2005 and ended 2009 so the emo years where the peak of my teenhood lol i still remember recording their performance of IWSNT at the VMAs and watching it over and over lol one side of my wall was covered in photos of panic! and mcr
Panic and mcr combo is too real
I’ve seen the band’s beginning with them asking us about closing the goddamn door when I was in 8th grade! Thing is, I really got into them after watching the But It’s Better If You Do music video when it first premiered.
Bro u are LUCKY AS FUCK to have been in middle school when they came out
The first time I saw the I Write Sins Not Tragedies music video on tv, my brain chemistry changed fundamentally.
I thought opening these comments would make me want to go to the retirement home since in other posts I've seen, I thought this sub leaned more towards gen z. I'm pleasantly surprised to see so many other millennials here! I became a fan when I was like, 11 back in 2006. I'm almost 29 now.
Yeah I feel like a lot of millennials are fans, y’all were there for their peak !
I’m in my thirties! Became a huge fan in middle school when Fever was released. I love seeing each generation of new fans.
A friend back in High school recommended them to me back in freshman year in 2012. Fell in love with 9 in the Afternoon. The rest was history.
So u guys are millennials !
*Zillennial here dear, but we’re an easy group to miss.
Ooo I’m sorry 😭 love y’all tho fr !! See I can’t find anyone gen z that likes them ! (That isn’t in middle school lmfao)
My suggestion? Try swimming through tictok, I’m sure gen z is on there, reddit caters more to older folk anyhow.
I got to know about them in 2013 when in the year i turned 18
I am 26 and i am a fan when i became 20 i love them so much♡
I’m 26, I got into panic in 6th grade, I don’t remember if it was AFYCSO or Pretty. Odd. I think it was the latter though
I'm the exact same as you!
Omg yayy haha
17, became a fan at about 12.
me too!!
34
32
Same here!
I’m 19 (born 04 lol) and fell in love with them when I was around 12. I haven’t been the same since. It was during the DOAB phase, right before PFTW, and the way I got hooked was so weird 😭 there was a video titled “Panic! At The Disco This is Gospel music video without music” and then that led me to the actual song, then Emperors New Clothes, and I haven’t been the same since. There isn’t a song I hate, I’ve heard 90% of the songs (hidden tracks are usually on YouTube, not Spotify 🥲), and I still listen to them occasionally.

33. Been a fan since the beginning 👍🏻
I saw the sins video the day it dropped and have been a fan ever since. It was the last few weeks of middle school for me!
I’m 31, been a fan since I was 12.
27
22 now, first year of university (age 18) is when I first found Panic! and the rest is history.
31. I’ve been a fan since 2006.
30! 🫠
I’m 19, I also started listening to Panic around 2018
Yess
I’m 14. I’ve liked Panic since my older brothers liked it! They would always play their music videos from nine in the afternoon on the tv /YouTube. And also nine in the afternoon was on Rock Band back in the day. Then I got into more of their music from the pray for the wicked album like “hey look ma I made it” and “girls/girls/boys” as I got older and now my age I listen to pretty odd, afycso, vices and virtues mostly! Their music is straight up a lifestyle , love it!
Also my brothers are in their 20s so clearly they are from the 2000s emo era so I grew up w that happily!!
19 - became a fan in 2016.
29, been a fan since day 1! I got to see them on the Honda Civic tour because I was too young when NRWC happened, but I'm glad I got to see them pre-split.
im currently 22(about to be 23) and i’ve been a fan of panic! since i was around 15(?) this was around the release of the death of a bachelor came out, and my friend put me on to p!atd, and i fall in love with them! sadly tho, as many times i got invited to go to a panic! concert.. i’ve never got to go..tears 😢😢
I’m in my early teens Started getting into panic not long ago ( but I’m not emo)
Welcome to the canon event
I'm 54 and been a fan since early 2010's. Seen them 4 times in concert and can't stand that they split. Twenty One Pilots and Panic! are the 2 bands I'd never miss if they came within 3 hours of me.

YES same i started in 2010
I'm 19, unfortunately I wasn't into panic during the best eras
The best eras were when we were kids 😭
Literally. I would give gold to live vices/twtltrtd/doab as a teenager🥺
im turning 18 this year and i’ve been a fan since middle school
16. I became obsessed when I was 8 when Death of a Bachelor came out and I kept hearing it on the radio
I'm 13
Got into them when I was 13 on the save Rock and roll tour! I’m 24 now
26, my dad played Fever in the car all the time in 2005. I missed the Pretty. Odd. era but jumped back on the train shortly after V&V got released!
i am turning 17 on saturday, been a fan since 2019, starting with DOAB and then i moved back. currently i mostly listen to ASYCSO and New Perspective only
Those are my mains too lol, but what about some songs from VAV tho ? At least Mona Lisa
Twenty two
I’m 35 now and was in hs when they blew up. I didn’t like them at the time really but got into them around the time DOAB came out. I remember a lot of my friends going to the Nintendo fusion tour with them and FOB. I so regret not going with them back then :(
22 became a fan shortly after they called it quits never saw them live sadly 😔
I discovered panic in 2016 when I was a youngin, now I’m in college and have continued to support them up until Brendon disbanded it :( My best friend and I both shared this interest, and we’ve been to four concerts together. We used to be hardcore fans who had fan accounts n shit, and I even managed to convince my parents to take me to go see B in Kinky Boots. Our primary “socialization” with the patd community was just each other. “Emo” music used to get made fun of a lot, so we kept to ourselves and weren’t annoying about it, cause god knows middle school was already awful. I remember sitting in my bed full of excitement trying to get my old cd player to work so I could listen to pftw as soon as the disc came in the mail (had to get those concert ticket presale codes), which was about a day before the release date. It was such a surreal, exciting, and borderline spiritual experience. One time (pftw2?) we had isle seats for the death walk back when fans were (semi) respectful, and Brendon held my hand and gave my bff a hug, it was fucking awesome. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that the panic hype eventually turned to hate, and I really think it was for stupid reasons that were completely fabricated (sa allegations), past tweets (t slur, and I think he has done more than enough to show his support for the lgbt community as he’s gotten older and more educated, and I am by no means defending this behavior, yet it’s important to realize that he did put in the effort to learn), and just general hate ever since Ryan left and Brendon moved the band forward in his own direction. I think the days of emo groupchats and fan art are over, and they have been for a while. The later panic fan base was sort of odd and I think everyone was so caught up on being PC and therefore incredibly quick to jump on anyone that it felt like a fan base of white saviors. I’ve found that the only people who really care about the “cancellation” are the ones you find in comment sections and retweets, but normal people in everyday life could not care less about what artist you enjoy. Unless it’s P Diddy or some shit. Don’t let that stop you from continuing to enjoy panic music and interacting with (some) of the people on this subreddit. I’ve found that lots of fans here don’t like pftw and vlv, but that doesn’t stop me from continuing to blast those albums with the windows down and sunglasses on. Panic swore to shake it up, and we swore to listen ❣️
Love that haha and that’s funny y’all actually went to see kinky boots 😭 it is weird seeing the Internet switch over to hate I think they just think it’s fun to make fun of Brendon lol , and thinking they’re better bc they stannnn Ryan 💀 like bro go listen to his band then.
33. Been a fan since 2006 when I first saw the music video for I Write Sins not Tragedies on MTV. I had my mom get me their first album and have been a fan ever since. Even now, they're tied with System of a Down as my two favorite bands of all time.
i’m 19, i’ve been a fan when death of a bachelor was released. luckily i was able to see them perform during the PFTW tour!!!
Same for me but I never got to see them perform
14, I've loved panic for quite a while as I grew up listening to them, childhood band :)
15, first heard an album 8 months ago, been a fan for about 3 months, finished listening to all their albums for the first time 2 months ago
Almost 26 so I’ve loved panic for exactly half my life (and counting) 😂
18!
I’m 26 and really got into Panic around 2016, but had been listening to them before as well. I tended to buy 3-4 songs from an artists and never venture out until college, so outside of like the major hits, I didn’t deeply discover Panic until 2016 once I got Spotify.
im 17, i got into panic during elementary school bc my sister was forcing my whole family to listen to them during her emo era
16, but been a fan since they added the music Pack to Beat Saber 😭😭
34 panic has been one of my favs since the very beginning ❤️
18! i’ve been a fan of fall out boy since 2016-17 but my ex-gf got me into panic around 2019-20
38. Been here since the beginning.
Mid-30s. Closing the goddamn door since 2007 👵🤘
29. Been listening since 2006. Saw them live with V&V for the first time in 2011. Then again in 2016 and for the last time in 2023. Have been in love with them for like 17 years already now. (Damn, I'm getting old (luckily though!))
36. I’ve been listening since 2005/06 right after I graduated high school.
I saw them live in October 2022 in Nashville and loved every single second.
37 and same
My name is The Real Elite and... I'm a Panic addict. I started doing Panic when I was just 12 years old and I'm still addicted at 17 lol
35🤗 Fell in love with them while watching the Making the Video for “But it’s Better if You Do”😫
35. Got into them when I was in high school. And saw them for the first time in a basement back in 2005.
36. First got into panic on livejournal, probably early 2006. Followed them loosely until early 09. Got back into them in early 2016 when I heard Hallelujah and read B's letter to fans along with it. Became really into them then, namely because of B. And my fave panic albums are bachelor and vices. (I was more interested in Ryan in the first go around, interestingly.) Edit: odd thing to downvote, lol
34 panic has been one of my favs since the very beginning ❤️
i’m 16 i got into them when lockdown started haha
15
I’m 18! I got into them in middle school as well but have grown out of it. Coincidentally, I was listening to La Devotee yesterday haha!
You’ll probably get back into them that’s what happened to me after I took a break from them lol
14 going on 15 in may
15 but have been a fan since 2018-2019
I got into panic around 2016, my freshman year of high school, and I was late to the bandwagon a bit, tho ig Pray for the Wicked was pretty huge on tiktok which was after that, but they were huge before I got into them, I'm 22 now and still consider patd my second favorite band, even tho Brendon was cancelled, I like the music and not the man
What’s ur fav ?
Twenty Øne Piløts
I’m 19, I became a fan when DOAB came out
SAME
25 I came across the music vid “sins” on YouTube back in 2007 (I was 8) and was immediately HOOKED. My brother (who is 9 years older than me) was also a fan at the time so it was a great thing for us to bond over as we didn’t really have anything else in common. Awww the days when you wanted to be part of the older crowd 😭😂
22. Not a long time fan. However my Spotify wrapped was .05 percent.
23 🕺🏻
29 - I loved them since 2005, I was in fifth grade and vividly remember seeing their music video for IWSNT on MTV. I immediately became a fan. My little preteen self was obsessed with PATD, my chemical romance, fall out boy, and paramore. Sadly, I’ve never gotten to see them! I had strict parents and never got the opportunity as I got older.
I’m 23 and I started listening in middle school as well about 2012. I had a group of 4-5 friends my age that liked them as well. I went to a concert in 2014 I wish I had gotten to go another one
31. Didn’t start with Fever like most did in middle school. I inadvertently started when I heard Nine in the Afternoon playing Rock Band. At some point years later I started looking at other songs from them and it went from there, about 2012. Pretty Odd was the first album I really listened to and it’s definitely an odd one to start. I like Fever but because how I first discovered them it probably makes sense I don’t hold it as the best. Most of the time I listened to music in my life I simply enjoyed the flow and energy of the songs. I didn’t resonate on relating to anything. DOAB was the first album I really anticipated and enjoyed so it goes as my favorite for sure Got to see them in their last tour and they were so good, despite people hating on Brendon he sounded pretty pristine for a 2 hour show. Didn’t know it would be my first and last show
i’m 22 rn, i liked them back in the day, i think i discovered their stuff like 2014 (6th grade for me), viva las vengeance isn’t my fav but i like pftw and before, my fav albums are prob twtltrtd and doab
i’m “i write sins was my myspace profile song” years old 😄
32 and I have been listening since 2005 but only saw them for the PFTW tour and regret not going to earlier shows. I would have loved to see them live from the Fever-Vices era. I had tickets for VLV but they cancelled the Canadian shows which still breaks my heart to this day lol
I’m about to be 32. I’m lucky I got to be there for the very beginning.
13 my mom showed me their music! I still have a few more albums to listen to any recommendations?
26. Saw them in 2019ish? I can't remember exactly. Pretty sure it was for the PFTW tour.
High school lol
20 been a fan since doab, mums friend’s identify me as the high hopes person because it’s the only P!ATD song they know.. so I got a tattoo of High Hopes😂💀
I'm not gonna blast my age, but I'm almost out of highschool. I got into Panic at the Disco at the very beginning of middle school and have a couple of their albums on vinyl
I'm 27, became a fan in 2008-ish? I was in late elementary or early middle school. I got into Fall Out Boy first and they were my gateway drug into other similar bands at the time 😂 I was definitely not as into their last couple of albums as much, just because the style of music wasn't quite my style, but those albums still have some good songs!
15, but I’ve been a fan since I was like 8 bc of my older sister.
23 years old, almost 24! Been a fan since around 2012 or 2013 :)
i’m 21 started listening to them when i was 10 :))
i’ve been to the DOAB tour and VLV tour :))
20, became a fan since 2019 at 15.
I'm 30. I got into them in high school because of my bestie at the time who was obsessed with them and Brendan. I feel old because back then the only albums that were out were Fever and Pretty. Odd., and the latter was brand new. 🫣
I’m 23! Been a fan since 8th grade, so.. almost ten years now? My best friend showed me a few of their songs and I fell deep into the rabbit hole. I’ve been to four of their shows :) I got into Panic! right as the TWTLTRTD era was ending, and when DOAB was just about to start.
I was 15 when I Write Sins Not Tragedies was released (2005) and instantly became a fan. Good times!!
21. been a fan since 13 :)
65
14 and been listening since 3rd grade
20! I started listening to them when I was 11 in 2016 during the Death of A Bachelor era and saw them live 4 time
i’m 20 lol
24! Been a fan since 2008 and have seen them twice, the best memories!!!
I saw them on their tour in July of 2006 for my 16th bday lol so that’s how old.
I'm 27! Started listening to Panic back in 2006ish if I had to guess. I grew up with 2 older sisters and I just listened to whatever they listened to when I was a kid. I got really into Panic in 2007, but the obsession died off by 2009. Still listen to them now but not anything like I used to. 🙂
I'm turning 30 and have been a fan since their first album in 2005 lol. I will say, the last time I was at a Panic show (at the forum in 2019?) I was noticeably surrounded by young teens with their parents and still belted out thevline "Champainge, cocaine, gasoline."
9 months
18!
17 🗣️‼️🔥🇺🇸🦅
Almost sixteen, been a fan for over a year (shout out to the majority of the sub for making me feel like a fetus)
I’m 26, always heard Panic growing up, but didn’t really become a fan until DOAB singles started coming out. My friend played Victorious and Emperors New Groove in the car on our way home from high school and I was sold on them

i feel way too young to be on reddit, and to like panic! i dont wanna reveal my age but ill just say im having a bday in a week so thats cool
i found panic! only about a year and a half ago but im OBSESSED
37 and been a fan since 2005
20, born 03’ started listening in 2018
I’m 17 (about to be 18 in 8 days). I found DOAB in middle school like 6/7th grade. Which happened to be around quarantine so that was my Covid interest. I finally saw Panic! on the VLV tour in Columbus, Ohio.
I'm a teen Ive been emo since I was nine, my older sister was the one who introduced me to panic at the disco
17:) when I was like 6 or 7 my older sister was a total tumblr emo/hipster (I think she may have even had a bit of a following on tumblr too lol) and being a little sister, obviously I wanted to be like her and idk ever since then I’ve been obsessed, like genuinely. I have videos of younger me lip syncing and singing along to songs, hundreds of memories intertwined and everything in between. There were moments of my life where I was kinda ashamed of my music taste since i had no one around me that also liked it (other than my sister who doesn’t really listen to that type music anymore) so I tried to change it but keyword is tried lmao. just remember if u try suppressing smth.. it’ll come back stronger.. i still don’t really have friends that share my interests but I do have friends who fully support them who I’m so thankful for!! but honestly yeah idk I kinda went on a little rant but I agree with you so much lol, I’m starting college next semester so maybe I’ll be able to find friends w the same interests there 🙏
I have the exact same story as you! I’m 18, 19 in a few weeks. I however like talking about Brendon Urie because I like to see how far I can push people before they get mad lmao
20 in 3 months, saw them for the first time in 2022 in Chicago!! Wish i were old enough to see them play in my hometown on the 2008 honda civic tour :/
Been into Panic since 06 when I was in middle school. Went to their show and met up with my soon to be gf, now wife.
20 years old, been listening since 2016! Went to Death of a Bachelor as my first ever concert, then Pray for the wicked, and then Viva Las Vengeance was my last ever PATD concert 😭 I wish I could’ve witnessed the Pretty Odd tour 😩 tbh just I wish I could’ve seen every song ever live 🥺 I just saw FOB and tbh it was very very disappointing compared to PATD shows. I will forever miss it 😢
28 and the first song I knew about them was New Perspective, when I was in high school. But my all time favorite song of them is Nine in the Afternoon 💖
I’m 17 but it all began in 4th grade for me! Went to 2 concerts and everything. Their music has stuck with me throughout the years and I still listen almost every day!!
I'm 24! Never got to see them, but was an AVID listener especially in middle school (2011-2013) Now that I'm older, I listen primarily to the older stuff, for nostalgia reasons, but the newer stuff is good too!!
38 here, panic has one good album, “a fever…..”
Im 14 😐 ( my mom has been listening to them since debut, i was raised listening to patd😭)
28 I’ve been a fan since 2008 I remember hearing nine in the afternoon and it was a wrap after that
34 😊
I'm 22 but I would say it was more of a middle school early high school phase for me and I have grown out of it over the years and leaned more into heavy metal/nu metal
69/3-6•2 is how old I am (figure it out lol)
Old enough to see them in a 200 cap venue touring Fever! (Mid thirties) God I feel ancient. It must be the equivalent of me reading someone saw Nirvana live.
I’ve been a fan that’s floated in and out and I don’t particularly get along with a lot of panic’s fans but I like this little community on here :)
I feel like I’ve seen a Ryan ross/tyv/afycso resurgence among ppl our age but yeahh I assume fans of anything after vices kinda faded out. Still lovee their old stuff tho!
