ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Trench (album)

Trench is a fancy word that refers to a deep and narrow hole that is dug into the ground. This album called "Trench" is not really about a hole in the ground but it is actually a collection of songs created by a musical artist named Tyler Joseph, who is known for making music under the name Twenty One Pilots.

Just like how crayons come in different colors, songs come in different styles and genres. Trench has a unique style of music called Alternative Rock which is a mix of different musical sounds such as drums, guitar, bass, and keyboard.

One of the things that make Trench special is how it tells a story about a character named Clancy. The songs in the album follow Clancy’s journey through a complicated and dangerous place. Imagine Clancy as an adventurer in a video game like Mario or Zelda, but instead of going through levels, he is going through the different songs on this album.

The songs in the album can make you feel a variety of emotions such as happiness, sadness, excitement, or even fear. This is because each song has its own unique sound and lyrics that tell different parts of Clancy’s story.

So, just like how you might color different pictures with different crayons, you can listen to different songs in Trench to experience different emotions and parts of this story about Clancy.
