Panic at the Disco (formerly Panic! at the Disco) is a rock band from Las Vegas. Due to unfortunate circumstances, 80% of their fanbase is synonymous with screaming fangirls who only know their hit single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies."
The other 20% are cool, intelligent people who appreciate good music and want MTV to die, and don't listen to the radio either. They know all of Panic's songs (from both their amazing yet extremely different albums, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out and Pretty. Odd.) and know all the lyrics as well as their meaning. They don't listen to Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance unless their genuinely like them, which would be because of their (good) older material.
Panic at the Disco blend techno and rock with theatrical touches in their first album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Contrary to popular belief, this was something that had never been done before. At the September 2005 release of this album, it did not get much attention from the media or really any commercial recognition at all. In early 2006, the video for their second single, I Write Sins Not Tragedies, was played on MTV's Total Requests.
Is this enough proof that this band was NOT originally meant to be "liked" by ignorant "fans" who like one song?
In March 2008 they released their Beatles-esque second album, Pretty. Odd. This experimental and risky album did lose some of the original fans, but true fans ignored the fact that it was very different from the first album and gave it a chance.
Overall, PATD are an extremely original band whose less popular songs (NOT I WRITE SINS NOT TRAGEDIES) need to be considered.

An indie-rock group from the US that debuted in 2005 with their album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. They often use rather long song titles (Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes; The Only difference betwwen martyrdom and suicide is press coverage; etc).
Panic at the disco is well-known across the globe.

A rock band orignating out of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Usually only known for their good looks, not their music.
Looking past that will show their exquisite lyrics, and great abilities as a band.

A state of mass frenzied anxiety at a disco. Often there will be a rush for the exit, with the resulting stampede trampling people underfoot.
Alternatively, it also applies to when a person has-
a) a panic attack at a disco
b) a drug-induced psychosis, resulting in panic, at a disco.

A band popular with 8th, 9th and 10th graders. They are rather new and said to be "emo". If you start listening to authentic doom metal by the time you are about 12 or so, this band is a travesty to you.
My peers : OMG THE Panic at the Disco concert is in november Im so psyched!!!!!!!!111rofl!!!
Me: Now why am I the only 9th grader who doesn't understand what is so great about this band?
