The phrase became widely known through Fall Out Boy's 2007 single Thnks fr th Mmrs, from the album Infinity on High, sung by Patrick Stump. Its stylised title drops the vowels from thanks for the memories, a line borrowed from a much older standard song. The chorus turned the farewell into a pop punk catchphrase that travelled through music videos, fan edits and social posts. It is still used because the words work both ways, as a sincere thank you for shared moments and as a sarcastic goodbye to a messy chapter.
