No, Rob Thomas has not ever left Matchbox Twenty, and is not planning on it.
As quoted by Tyler Joseph, the band's singer, Twenty One Pilots is not simply one genre of music. They have aspects of alternative, rock, rap, pop, Electronic, punk, screamo, and more. Tyler has said their music is Schizophrenic Pop, and original genre by the singer. In my opinion, Twenty One Pilots is their own genre I simply call "Twenty One Pilots."
Rob Thomas is most famous for his role as lead singer in Matchbox 20/ MatchBox Twenty. However, after the band dismembered in the early part of the new century, Rob Thomas was signed as a solo artist.
Matchbox Twenty (:
Matchbox 2o refers to 20 matches being in a book of matches, because there are 20 cigarettes in a box of cigs to be lit. Or, Matchbox Twenty is claimed to be a name that drummer/guitarist Paul Doucette came up with. When the band had first gotten together, they were sitting in a restaurant, and a guy walked in with a 20 on his shirt. "Matchbox Twenty" immediately hit Paul, and that's where their name came from.
