What does ‘Dece’ and ‘For Days’ mean?
Dece is basically an adjective for rad. For Days is an inside joke-ish thing that the whole band picked up on and so did us Turtles. It’s just like a length of time. Like, crying for days or turtles for days.
How do you pronounce “dece”?
Decent without the ent.
Why are fans called Turtles?
When they first started the band it was originally called Paradise Fears The Turtle, but then they decided it was stupid so they dropped off ‘The Turtle’ and then all the fans had a tumblr/twitter battle over whether they would be called Turtles (because of the previous band name) or Dropouts (because of their first EP The Secret To Dropping Out) and Turtles won yeah.

Sam, Jordan and Cole do, and the band as a whole has one that the guys post on sometimes.
