where did the name 21 pilots come from
Twenty One Pilots Joseph came up with the band's name while studying All My Sons by Arthur Miller, a play about a man whose choice to send out faulty airplane parts for the good of his business and family caused the death of twenty one pilots during World War II. Joseph explains that the story's themes of moral dilemma and choosing between the easy and the right decision inspired the name and formation of the band.[155][156] "Bicycle Thief" and "Chill Coat" were among some of the rejected band names.[157]
