History Music / PanicAtTheDisco

** Almost every song from ''Vices & Virtues'' [[ExaggeratedTrope takes this up to eleven]], especially in "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" and "Let's Kill Tonight".

** "Viva Las Vengeance" not only plays it straight with "Something About Maggie" and "Sad Clown", but it even [[InvertedTrope inverts this at the end, too]], as the final song from the band's discography, "Do It to Death" loops itself back to the introduction of "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out".

* ExcitedShowTitle: ''Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!''.
** The band's name is a variant; the exclamation point falls after the first word.

Panic! at the Disco was an American pop-rock band formed by childhood friends, lyricist, guitarist and vocalist Ryan Ross, drummer Spencer Smith, bassist Brent Wilson and lead vocalist multi-instrumentalist Brendon Urie (born April 12, 1987). The name comes from a line in the song "Panic" by Name Taken, but due to the relative obscurity of this reference, the more familiar "Panic" by Music/TheSmiths is usually cited, as the song contains the line "Burn down the disco" in its chorus.

The project started and grew popular as an [[GenreRoulette eclectic]] pop rock band created somewhere around March/April 2004 by childhood friends Ryan Ross (guitarist/main songwriter), Spencer Smith (drummer), and Brent Wilson (bassist), later joined by Brendon (lead singer) and Jon Walker (who replaced Brent in 2006). They were discovered by Music/FallOutBoy's bassist Pete Wentz and signed to his vanity label, Decaydance.

In July 2009, Ross and Walker left the group to form their own band, The Young Veins, and were replaced by touring guitarist Ian Crawford (formerly of Music/TheCab)[[note]]Though he left not long after that, only to be replaced by guitarist Kenny Harris, who was himself fired in September 2018 for numerous sexual misconduct allegations involving underage fans[[/note]] and bassist Dallon Weekes (formerly of Music/TheBrobecks, now in Music/IDontKnowHowButTheyFoundMe). Weekes officially joined the band as a full-time member in 2012, only to cease studio contributions in 2015,[[note]]he remained a touring member until December 2017[[/note]] and with Smith quitting earlier that year, that left Brendon as [[IAmTheBand the only official member]] of Panic! at the Disco. As a result, Panic! was widely considered by audiences, the media, and Brendon himself to be Brendon's solo endeavor, as he wrote/co-wrote all the songs and played all the instruments, with some contributions by studio musicians and music producers. In January 2023, Urie announced that Panic! would be disbanding after the European leg of the Viva Las Vengeance Tour as he will be focusing on raising his family. The final performance was on March 10, 2023, at Manchester's AO Arena.

Pre-2016, the band was known for their [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes quirky]] [[RummageSaleReject fashion sense]], rampant [[FauxYay stage gay]] antics, witty lyrics, and [[LongTitle longer-than-life song titles]] (which were initially made as jokes but later abandoned for more traditional-length titles after Brendon began forgetting them onstage). Since then, the band name as helmed by Brendon became more famous for [[LargeHam theatrical performances and aesthetic]] and a general shift in sound towards danceable pop with jazz influences. One trait consistent through both phases of the project is Brendon having a [[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=0ahUKEwjMw_7u_vbbAhUhxVkKHRLxA3kQwqsBCCgwAA&usg=AOvVaw0VTJzWxrN8ZFOD4xbU2nov vocal range]] to rival [[Music/{{Queen}} Freddie Mercury]].[[note]]Appropriately, they covered "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the ''Death of a Bachelor'' tour.[[/note]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: Brendon is quite fond of this trope.
** ''Pretty. Odd.'' gets one in ''Take A Vacation!'' by The Young Veins, the band formed by half the band when they split. The album closely resembles the style of ''Pretty. Odd.''.
** The video for "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" seems to suggest the song as a sequel to "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", taking place in the same church. Last time it was for a wedding; [[DarkerAndEdgier this time it's a funeral]].
** Similarly, "Emperor's New Clothes" was revealed by its music video to be one to "This Is Gospel". A close listen reveals a slight alteration on the melody of "Gospel"[='=]s ''Oh''s being used in "Emperor"[='=]s verses.
** "LA Devotee" on ''Death of a Bachelor'' succeeds the last album's LocationSong, "Vegas Lights", as Brendon's CreatorProvincialism makes way for the Hollywood stardom explored in ''Bachelor'' and ''Pray for the Wicked''.
*** And ''Wicked'' follows up with "Dying in LA," almost a direct SequelSong to "LA Devotee".
** "Dancing's Not a Crime" on ''Pray for the Wicked'' is this to "Girls[=/=]Girls[=/=]Boys", answering GGB's "'Cause I don't ever wanna be your boyfriend" with
--->'Cause I just wanna be\\
Your boyfriend/girlfriend

Despite having moved away from any technical connection to {{emo}} music, they're often grouped by their fans as part of the "Holy Emo Trinity" along with Fall Out Boy and Music/MyChemicalRomance. They're also often included in the "Fueled-By Five" (five bands from their label, Creator/FueledByRamen), which also includes FOB, Music/TheAcademyIs, Music/GymClassHeroes, and Music/CobraStarship.

Didn't know how but I always had a feeling\\
I was gonna be that one in a million\\
Always had high, high hopes''
-->-- "High Hopes"

* NotChristianRock: For an atheist, Brendon sure stuffs his lyrics with a lot of Christian imagery. Evident even in the the titles--"This Is Gospel," "Hallelujah," "Say Amen." It makes sense because he grew up in the Church of Latter Day Saints.

** ''Viva Las Vengeance''. Both the [[TitleTrack opening song]] and the ending song "Do It to Death" feature the line "Shut up and go to bed."
* BreakingTheFourthWall: "We're So Starving" kicks off ''Pretty. Odd.'' by directly addressing the listener, assuring them that the three years since their last album were spent creating songs for their fans and promising that they haven't changed as a band despite a change in the lineup.

* FadingIntoTheNextSong: Have demonstrated mastery of this trope.

*** "Lying Is The Most Fun..." → "Intermission"

* {{Guyliner}}: Common in the music videos ''Fever''-''V&V''.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Panic! At the Disco vs. Panic at the Disco.[[note]]The band omitted the exclamation point during ''Pretty. Odd.'' but later reinstated it. The punctuated version is considered correct.[[/note]]
** It's spelled '''Brendon''', not '''Brandon'''.

* TitleTrack: "Death of a Bachelor", which is rather notable because none of their other albums have a title track.

*** "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage" comes from Palahniuk's ''Literature/{{Survivor}}''.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: "Trip hop-cabaret-dance punk" was how Brendon Urie described ''AFYCSO'' when asked.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: After an entire album consisting of dance-pop/club/rock, "The End of All Things" is a heartwarming piano-driven ballad about being in love.

* BalladOfX: "The Ballad of Mona Lisa"
* BodyHorror: "Emperor's New Clothes" has Brendon sprouting . . . [[HornedHumanoid a few]] [[WingedHumanoid appendages]]. And while he's shifting, you can ''hear his bones cracking'', and ''see them moving under the skin''.
* BodySurf: In the video for "Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time", some sort of {{Cthulhumanoid}} ShapeShifter travels from a young woman's body to the body of Brendon Urie and returns to the bar in his body presumably to find another host.
* BookEnds:

** ''Vices & Virtues''. Both the opening song "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" and the ending song "Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met...)" feature the line "''Mona Lisa, pleased to please ya''."
** "Camisado" starts and ends with a minimalist piano accompaniment and the lyrics "''The I.V. and your hospital bed / This was no accident / This was a therapeutic chain of events.''"
** "This Is Gospel" begins with a HeartbeatSoundtrack. It ends with the heartbeat slowing and stopping.

And how I hope to god he was worth it
* CallBack: A reference to the 'sky falling' appears twice, both in songs about Brendon's girlfriend/wife Sarah.
** Sarah Smiles

** Death of a Bachelor
--->Watching the sky fall

* ClusterFBomb: "Nicotine" features the word 'fuck' at least four times along with the repeated usages of the word 'damn', which is a bit jarring compared to a majority of their other songs.

** ''Pretty. Odd.'' is heavily Music/TheBeatles-themed.

** ''Pray for the Wicked'' relentlessly returns to fame and wildest-dreams success--as well as their consequences. It's RockStarSong: The Album.

** ''AFYCSO'' is unified by hidden references and the theme of rebellion. It is also split into two halves; the first half is more traditional-sounding pop punk, while the second puts a unique baroque spin on the sound. The two halves are connected by the album's intermission, which starts with techno-sounding electronic beats before transitioning to a piano interlude.

** The opening of "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" music video makes multiple nods to the video for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies". This includes the view of church pews, the focus on Brendon's hat, and of course "closing the goddamn door".

** Most of the music video for "Girls/Girls/Boys" probably qualifies. {{Subverted|Trope}} ''hard'' by the director's cut, where two [[FanService female models show up]] [[GirlOnGirlIsHot and start making out]].

* {{Homage}}: The "Girls/Girls/Boys" music video is a recreation of D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does it Feel)" music video.

* TheShowMustGoOn: In 2006 Brendon was knocked unconscious by a thrown bottle only minutes into a show, thankfully only for a couple of seconds. After recovering he got back on stage and finished out the band's entire set, picking up right where he left off.
