About
Shh Bby Is Ok is a copypasta used on Reddit posts as both comment spam and as a way to soothe other users.
Origin
Shh Bby Is Ok originates from a story told in the subreddit /r/casualconversation.[1] In a post from November 29th, 2015, the user franklymydeer told a long story about falling in love with a song in a Seat Toca car commercial and becoming desperate to track it down. The user explained the extreme lengths they went to in order to track down the song, incuding writing to the public relations department of the auto company in order to inquire. When the public relations department told franklymydeer that the song was a short commission for the commercial, the user was heartbroken; however, almost an entire year later, another reddit user emailed franklymydeer and said the song was called "Turn the Lights Down" by an artist called BSO.[2] In the resulting conversation, the anonymous reddit user told franklymydeer "ssh bby is ok."
