twenty one pilots are known for leaving hints in their music. Nearly two years later, the Clique are still continuing to find new Easter eggs hidden in the music and visual content for Trench. Tyler Joseph even said in an interview that fans still haven’t found all of the Easter eggs regarding the world of Dema.

Now, fans are discussing some subtle nods in the “Level Of Concern” lyric video. Originally released at the end of May, the video features animated versions of the band on ’80s Macintosh computers created by Pinot W. Ichwandardi and his family.

In one of the Reddit posts, u/mydude311 pointed out that throughout the lyric video, there are various representations of twenty one pilots’ previous albums.

The most prominent detail is the physical formats of each of their albums. Their 2013 album Vessel is shown as vinyl. 2015’s Blurryface is seen in cassette form and 2018’s Trench and “Level Of Concern” are floppy discs. Some fans believe these details reveal when the albums’ stories occur based on which old format they are shown as.

Because of this, the writing for their album has progressed further than originally expected.
