idkhbtfm 

A Salt Lake City based band made up of two members, Dallon Weekes, former Panic! at the Disco member, and Ryan Seaman, former member of Falling in Reverse. The two long-time friends got together to from I Don't Know How But They Found Me (often shortened to idkhbtfm, IDKHOW or iDKHOW) in the year 2016, with Dallon as their lead vocalist and bassist and Ryan as their drummer.

The band, which had been kept a secret at first, exploded and Rock Sound described them as "the hottest unsigned band in the world" (pre-signing with Fearless Records). They're songs have been described as many genres, such as new wave, alternative rock, indie pop and more.
Their first song, Modern Day Cain, reached number 8 of the Top 10 Alternative Music Charts on iTunes on the very day it was released. They soon released many more great singles such as Choke and Nobody Likes the Opening Band.
Overall, the band has a very interesting image and backstory. Fans have theorised:

"I think the lore for IDKHOW is that the band was a government experiment during the 80s to how music effects people. That's why most of IDKHOW's music is so weird. Suddenly, the experiment was scrapped and the evidence was trying to be destroyed, but some videos and clips are being discovered now."

"All of their videos are meant to be ‘recovered’ from the 80’s/90’s. I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME. I don’t know how but they found the videos? I don’t know."
" I'm going to see a concert tomorrow!"

"Lucky! Who are you gonna be seeing?"

"I'm actually not sure who's concert it is, but I heard idkhbtfm is opening for them..."

Ickybuttitis 

I work in a hospital on the graveyard shift. Sure, there are lots of medical terms for this condition but none of them seemed to quite fully cover the issue so here we go.
Ickybuttitis is the condition of having disgusting genitalia issues. That includes the following, gonorrhea, chlamydia, foul smelling discharge, yeast infections, crabs, and or just basically unkept in that area in general. This definition rounds them all up into one category so you don't even have to know the specifics, you just know not to go there.
" I came home from a great night of booty but when I went to shower I noticed a foul smell coming from below. I went to the doctor and he explained that unsafe sex lead to me getting a bad case of ickybuttitis."

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
