Dance pop duo the Chainsmokers released a fresh single ‘Sick Boy’ this week, but the new track ruffled the feathers of Twenty One Pilots fans who took their emotions to social media. The ‘Clique’ seems to think the track is a rip-off of the beloved Ohio alternative band and the accusation seems to be picking up steam.
Here’s the crack of what people are saying online.
The Chainsmokers new song is literally a ripoff of twenty one pilots. It went from worse to worser! pic.twitter.com/fTFja554I8

the new chainsmokers song is too much like twenty one pilots and it makes me angry cause twenty one pilots are so wonderfully original and the chainsmokers are pissing all over their sound

'Sick Boy' by the Chainsmokers sounds like it's from a twenty one pilots cover band that decided to attempt their own original song… #KnockOff

So does ‘Sick Boy’ actually sound like a TOP track? Some have pointed to ‘Heathans’ as the specific song that it takes the most from, while others have tagged ‘Fairly Local’ as an inspiration for it as well.
Listen below for yourself and decide.
