Twenty One Pilots released the video for “Stressed Out” on April 27, 2015, and it was directed by Reel Bear Media. The video depicts a bleak narrative set in a dreary suburban neighborhood. The story begins on a partly cloudy day with Joseph pedalling down a street on a three wheeler. Throughout the music video, black paint can be seen on his neck and hands. Joseph arrives at a house and goes inside. He enters a bedroom where Dun is waiting for him. The two perform the song with a young man who lives there, and within the mind of the young man dwelling inside the house who resembles the two save their tattoos and colored hair. At one point, the pair drink Capri Suns while sitting near a curb. The scene then changes to Joseph and Dun lying in beds as members from their combined families who are dressed in black watch them sleep and all chant in unison “Wake up, you need to make money”.
