10 musicians who leave us in awe with their social media posts
The best social media accounts are the most genuine displays of a character, whether that be someone we can easily imagine being BFFs with or someone whose artistic dedication leaves us in awe.
Here are 10 musicians who, in some form, stand out from the rest of the pack.
John O’Callaghan — The Maine
The talented frontman of the Maine’s Twitter account gives a look into what’s happening inside his brain. The thought-provoking blurbs not only detail someone who is engulfed in emotional internal conflict, but also has a genuine outlook on the human condition.
Don't you dare love just to be loved in return.

You deserve to feel good. And beautiful, and loved, and wanted, and young, and respected, and wild, and complex, and adored, and so on.

Matty Healy — The 1975
If you’re a fan of the 1975, you are truly in for a rollercoaster of emotions trying to decipher what Matt Healy is posting about at any given moment. The beginning of the I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It album cycle had fans thinking the band were breaking up. In the end, it turned out to be a giant story of how the group’s style was changing. That same mantra lives to this day when it comes to Healy’s master of mysterious approach on social media, and it will probably be that way forever.

Oliver Baxxter — Broadside
Vocalist Ollie Baxxter prides himself on being a writer and seems to carefully choose what pictures and text get placed in the eyes of fans. The artist has put out collections of poetry—the most recent in the form of On Loving Someone.
Tyler Joseph — Twenty One Pilots
Twenty One Pilots attempt to encourage people to look at their surroundings in an unimaginable sense. The Blurryface cycle saw Tyler Joseph donning black paint and red clothing to represent a character within himself. To signal the end of the era, a simple picture was posted showing the paint being washed off.

Keith Buckley — Every Time I Die
The Buffalo singer surely looks at life through a deeper lens when you hear his lyrics and interviews. On top, the sense of humor of the intelligent music creator often spins the weirdest thoughts in life into the most hilarious.
just a heads up: if you invite me to your pool party and it's obvious you haven't power washed your fence in months I'm fucking out of there

the video of me laying unconscious at the end of a slip n slide for 43 minutes syncs up perfectly to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon

Lynn Gunn — PVRIS
PVRIS is a being that is constantly abiding to its own set of aesthetic rules. From the ghost themes of White Noise to the current All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell, Lynn Gunn has her creative direction locked in.
Jordan Black — Like Pacific
It can’t be coincidence that some of the most heartfelt songwriters are the goofiest. @hotgaydaddy, aka Jordan Black of Like Pacific, is all about having a fulfilling, fun life with people he cares about—and the lighthearted attitude is surely contagious.
Jason Aalon Butler — The Fever
The former letlive. singer beams a light of genuineness with everything he touches. From the backstory of somebody who has been through trial and trepidation to the teasing of his new band alongside Aric Improta (Night Verses) and Stephen Harrison (the Chariot), Jason Aalon Butler is as real as they get.
Do not make decisions based on fear.

Garrett Russell — Silent Planet
You’ll rarely stumble upon a human as welcoming and kind as Garrett Russell. A soul of positivity and change not only lives in Silent Planet’s music (once you delve into the lyrics), but also behind the people within. Russell is a role model for all and inspires his followers to listen to those around with open ears.
