Cue the Blurryface beats and grab your yellow bandanas, Hong Kong, because today our city joined the global clique in a riotous celebration of #pilotstwtselfieday! Twenty One Pilots’ die-hard local fans turned February 23rd into a love fest for Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, flooding X with selfies, throwback concert snaps, and enough nostalgia to make even the stoic Lion Rock shed a tear. It’s a monthly ritual that’s got the 852 buzzing—and hinting at a 2025 tour stop we’re all secretly manifesting!
The vibe kicked off at sunrise, with Hong Kong’s “skeleton clique” (that’s TØP fandom speak, for the uninitiated) unleashing a tidal wave of posts. Picture this: teens in Kowloon rocking Vessel-era hoodies posing with bubble tea, office warriors in Central snapping selfies with their old 2019 AsiaWorld-Expo wristbands, and even a grandma in Sha Tin flashing a peace sign next to her grandson’s Trench vinyl. By noon, #pilotstwtselfieday was a top local trend, proving this Ohio duo’s gospel of car radios and blurry faces still resonates deep in our neon-lit streets.
The real heart-melters? Those throwback pics. Fans dug into their archives, sharing blurry-but-blissful shots from TØP’s last Hong Kong gig—March 25, 2019, at AsiaWorld-Expo. “I can still hear Tyler screaming ‘Jumpsuit’ while Josh drummed like a madman,” captioned one user, posting a grainy snap of yellow confetti raining down. Another shared a selfie with a sea of glowing phone lights, writing, “Six years later, and I’d still queue overnight for these boys.” The nostalgia hit harder than a Causeway Bay rush-hour crush, with locals reliving the night that turned the Expo into a sweaty, euphoric blur.
Hong Kong’s clique didn’t just reminisce—they got creative. A group from Tuen Mun staged a mini “Chlorine” reenactment outside a public pool, complete with neon paint and dramatic poses. A TST barista doodled the band’s ||-// logo on lattes, tweeting, “Fueling the fandom, one cup at a time!” Even the MTR got a shoutout, with a fan joking, “Waiting for the next train like I’m waiting for TØP to announce HK 2025—patiently losing my mind.” The energy? Pure, unfiltered joy, with a side of chaos.
The monthly selfie day, a tradition born on X years ago, always spikes chatter about new tours—and Hong Kong’s fans are dreaming big. With TØP’s Clancy era still fresh and whispers of an Asia leg floating since their last Bangkok stop, the hashtag doubled as a plea. “Come back to HK, Tyler and Josh—we’ve got dim sum and a sold-out crowd waiting!” one post begged, racking up retweets faster than you can say “Stressed Out.” Fan club leader Alex Ng, who’s been waving the TØP flag since 2015, told us, “That 2019 show was magic. We’re overdue for round two!”
It’s not just fandom flexing—Twenty One Pilots’ alt-rock alchemy fits Hong Kong like a glove, blending raw emotion with the city’s restless pulse. Today’s outpouring proves their cult status here is ironclad, from Sheung Wan record stores to TikTok edits soundtracked by Heathens. “They get us,” said fan May Lau, clutching her worn Regional at Best tee. “This isn’t just a band—it’s a lifeline.”
So, as the sun sets on this #pilotstwtselfieday, Hong Kong’s clique is riding high—cameras out, nostalgia on blast, and hopes pinned on a 2025 encore. Keep those selfies coming, fam, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll see that iconic red beanie and drum kit back on our turf soon. Stay alive, Hong Kong—because the pilots might just be listening.
