I don't know who the hell this band is but all i can say is that within the first ten seconds of the song i was hooked, this is the kind of music i need in my life
Facts for new fans: 1 This duo was in a band called the Brobecks together that didn't do too well or something in the early naughties(a really good album was released and then they broke up) 2. Dallon Weekes (the guy singing) was part of P!@td for a short while in early tens 3. Ryan Seaman the drummer was apart of Falling in Reverse until 2017 4. Dallon Weekes plays the keyboard, sings and bass guitar
Fun fact: That little animation at the end (and the music with it) was actually made by a computer in the 60's, and was featured in a 1968 film called The Incredible Machine.
Bubblegum oldies, 1940's Soul, classic rock, music from the 50s through the 70s, and then alt-rock from the 90s through now brought me here. And I can't forget songs from the 80s like golden brown by the stranglers.
@@jennifervan75 Yeah, he was a touring musician for them from vices & virtues to death of a bachelor. He quit to focus on his own projects. he wrote a lot of songs for Panic! at the disco, and some were borrowed from demos from Dallon's old band - The Brobecks - a good example being 'Far too young to die'.
my friend told me "I found this band idk how but they found me" and i was like "ok what's it called" and she had to explain to me that this is the name of the band.
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.
I was sort of sad when Dallon left Panic! but they have done more than prove themselves to me. They are indescribable and oof, its just so different and this is what the music industry needs.
Angela Quinnzell I only really like three or four songs on Pray For The Wicked. I wish they played more PO and Fever live because I’m seeing them in January but it’s whatever I guess, just gotta move on. However I think M A N I A is a bOp
Tyler Leutwyler Maybe it is inspired by 80s pop, just like they said in an interview with AltPress. If you think of anything, nothing is fresh or new. It’s just a rehash of precious works. If you compare them to other modern groups of this time, then yes you would see they are different.
This is how you do a music video. One that subverts what you'd expect when listening, unique set design, fashioney costumes, interesting pieces and what pops most the motions. Still holds up and I feel like it forever will
I just want to let the creators know that is the only music video on the internet that actively captivates me every single time this song starts to play on my playlist. Just- well done, well executed, good story through visuals. Amazing!
WARNING! Memetic SCP. Don't aproach until properly breafed by head project researcher (currently Dr. Rainbow). Unauthorized access will result in unconditional love for the song.
@@calimorales9880 word going round that the drummer allegedly stole 26 grand and been committing identity fraud under the singers name which kinda sucks since they’d been friends for long time
this song is such a jam. The whole band is great, most of their songs are bops, but something about the intentionality behind making a perfectly structured pop song is fucking auditory joy.
This footage was first thought to be a conceptual art piece produced by the band before making music videos had become standard music industry practice. While the exact date and circumstances under which it was produced are unclear, the anonymous donor of the footage claims that it had been screened to students for nearly twenty years as part of the public school curriculum, until its use was discontinued in 1984…
"Yeah, we've been messing around with these computers here to see what they can do. Sure, they can do mathematical equations with frightening speed and accuracy, but we gave some to Bob and Jim in the department over and they made some really funky music."

I showed this to my mother who is a Valley Girl who loves New Wave and she adored this and immediately started to asks about what else you guys do. It was a flashback to what she loved about the music she grew up with and the visuals reminded her of her father's work during the Cold War (he would have loved this too if he were still alive). Totally made her day, thanks!
I am 54 in a month so possibly your mother's age. I am not sure why RUclips's algorithm suggested this to me but it is the perfect marriage of early 80s New Wave, Cold War aesthetics and modern hipster precision. My parents had this exact shade of orange kitchen in 1972, and my dad was an early computer scientist. We had a reel-to-reel tape deck in the living room. Everything about this band is absolutely perfect. It's like David Bowie, Talking Heads and The Human League had a love child and fed it to a 60's analog synth.
I constantly thank Panic! At The Disco for introducing me to the amazing Dallon Weekes, as much as I'm sad that he's not in the band anymore, if this is what he does with his time then it was all worth it
I found it from Panic, and I knew how talented Dallon was and I when I heard about idkhow, I knew it would be awesome. I'm so happy that he's happy and he's working on his own stuff with Ryan!
@Spanish Moustache coming as a sinner i never knew he was in panic! until like 2 months into being a fan. But i had found idkhbtfm while listening to panic! so i was like woah
The outro for this video is a recreation of the credits from a short film called ''The Incredible Machine'' from the 60's, which touches several cutting edge computer topics such as voice generation and computer animation. The music in that section is a fragment of a song called ''Beat Canon'' that came in a Bell Labs LP called ''Music from Mathematics''. Both of these things can be found on youtube.
I love the colors and props used in this. So much so, that I did a deep dive on what they were... - The "mic" and PA that Dallon uses is an IVAC Corporation "IVAC 630" volumetric infusion pump. It came in orange. It did not come with a mic. - Computer in front of the pneumatic horn section is a New Brunswick Scientific ML-4100 Multi Loop Microprocessor Controller (used for operating a scientific fermenter/bioreactor). Appears to be painted orange for the video. - Other "device" in front of the horns section is a Scantron 888P+ optical scoring machine, also painted orange. - Above the simulated reel-to-reel computer is a Burleigh CE-2000 Three-Axis Inchworm Controller (originally came in orange) (For the life of me, I could not figure out what that camera was... I'm guessing Polaroid but find nothing relatively close in searches)
Oooh I know this one! The camera is from a Polaroid ID-3 id card printer. I own all of it except for the camera, so I recognized it while searching for one to complete the set!
I feel like this song is supposed to be making fun of soulless pop songs (saying they are basically made by computers), but being a boring vanilla guy I actually love this.

@@lonefrontrangerI sense influence from DEVO as well.
@@lonefrontranger Well said, I was just thinking about Talking Heads wathcing this too
"I don't want to do it, but I do it, 'cause I do it all the time."
That's one of my favorite lyrics I've heard in a long time.
Ikr? This song is amazing
That is not a lyric from this song

I constantly thank Panic! At The Disco for introducing me to the amazing Dallon Weekes, as much as I'm sad that he's not in the band anymore, if this is what he does with his time then it was all worth it

I Don’t Know How But This Video Found Me.
I Like It.
c mamo :b
same,this just came up in my recommended
Grace Perez this band is a bop
@@knives948 right about that
Same man
i don't know how, but i found this incredible band
i found it from panic xD
I found it from Panic, and I knew how talented Dallon was and I when I heard about idkhow, I knew it would be awesome. I'm so happy that he's happy and he's working on his own stuff with Ryan!
Olga Solís same

Recommended to me while listening to Simulation Theory
This band proves Dallon was the only thing that made panic at the disco good. Panic fell off hard after he left
explains why twtltrtd was the last patd album I cared about!
I cant wait to be that person who says " I've been here since the beginning" when they get super popular
ll-//
they are already popular, for example with choke
Yep
@Spanish Moustache coming as a sinner i never knew he was in panic! until like 2 months into being a fan. But i had found idkhbtfm while listening to panic! so i was like woah
I hope you realize that this video has six million views
Should've been here last year
Is it weird to say that I love the sound of Dallon yelling?
not at all
Nope, he yells a lot in 'Absinthe' and thats one of the reasons its my favourite lol
May I introduce you to Tyler Jøseph? XD
Nope.
Not at all.
There's only two people I enjoy listening to while they yell/sing.
Dallon Weekes
And Tyler Joseph 👌
This Dallon, is the most accurate Dallon. Teacher, dad, scientist
Its fascinating how RUclips can recommend me an incredible song and after that a 1 hour video about Shrek

The outro for this video is a recreation of the credits from a short film called ''The Incredible Machine'' from the 60's, which touches several cutting edge computer topics such as voice generation and computer animation.
The music in that section is a fragment of a song called ''Beat Canon'' that came in a Bell Labs LP called ''Music from Mathematics''. Both of these things can be found on youtube.
THANK YOU
i didn't ask
@@calumsanderson6741 shut
That’s pretty wild.
@@calumsanderson6741 and we didn't ask you
I love the colors and props used in this. So much so, that I did a deep dive on what they were...
- The "mic" and PA that Dallon uses is an IVAC Corporation "IVAC 630" volumetric infusion pump. It came in orange. It did not come with a mic.
- Computer in front of the pneumatic horn section is a New Brunswick Scientific ML-4100 Multi Loop Microprocessor Controller (used for operating a scientific fermenter/bioreactor). Appears to be painted orange for the video.
- Other "device" in front of the horns section is a Scantron 888P+ optical scoring machine, also painted orange.
- Above the simulated reel-to-reel computer is a Burleigh CE-2000 Three-Axis Inchworm Controller (originally came in orange)
(For the life of me, I could not figure out what that camera was... I'm guessing Polaroid but find nothing relatively close in searches)
The camera almost looked like one of those mini radio TVs flipped.
Well done!
Thank you for telling us!!!
Oooh I know this one! The camera is from a Polaroid ID-3 id card printer. I own all of it except for the camera, so I recognized it while searching for one to complete the set!
thank youuuu
This song is so addicting to listen to, I love this music video.
What a creative idea. This is what today’s music industry should have been.
I think its commentary on how devoid of passion and humanity popular music is. They're saying this is what music shouldn't be.
@@greyscalewoods711 sad thing is this is better than today's music
Duckpool Turner this is barely half a year old, this IS today’s music smh
But... this is today’s music? It was released like last year.
Cheese lmao yeah, they’re literally still making music today
i cant believe dallon weekes invented music
I can.
can**
Parent:Why do u listen to this?
Me singing along to this:No reason why.......
Good music at least.
@I like Music it's. a joke
hey this time ryan looks like he actually wanted to participate
ava weaver LMAO
Lmao not really
2:08 bro rethink that 😂
You know they found you when the algorithm recommends this to you 😗
I feel like this song is supposed to be making fun of soulless pop songs (saying they are basically made by computers), but being a boring vanilla guy I actually love this.
Yeah it is you got it spot on
Wow I didn't know that was the meaning of the song
"we're so young but we're probably gonna die"- literally everyone on the planet under 30
chill guys your chances are much better then they ever were in history.
@@kurina- You really think this generation is at all at risk to die of pollution/ global warming? Not a chance. Maybe, in several thousand years. But really, the amount of global warming going on right now is next to nothing.
@@kurina- yeah I suppose. Good day.
@@kurina- Once you hit your 20s, you'll be like, "All right! I made it! Now... it's all downhill from here."
I think Gen X was saying that first...but what do we know? 😆
why is no one talking about their 80's 'found footage' type storyline?
seriously! The lore the band is building is so damn interesting
It's a little obvious and contrived. Cool concept, but nothing groundbreaking.
nobody? i feel like a lot of people talk about it tbh
For real!! I've been following this for awhile now and its so confusing.
Do we need Nick?
Funky, excellent production, listenable, really very excellent. Kudos.
this man can have a seizure and then get back to singing like nothing happend
is he a man ?

The RUclips algorithm is how I found them. Seems oddly appropriate.
Me too. Every time when i'm drugged can find music like this.

A shame this is by far their best song.
This is definitely different. I kind of like.
Literally playing this on repeat everyday....because I do it all time.
