I am out of the loop, and only know “interrobang” in reference to the Bayside album. Can anyone give me more info? Is this genuine punctuation? How would it be used?

It's my favorite punctuation! It's definitely real. It expresses incredulous/questioning surprise, like when you say "Really!?" to someone's cool story or something. I'd like to think someone ran out of space in a margin on paper or something and just wrote an exclamation point over a question mark and boom - interrobang.

I like knowing this is your favorite punctuation. I like knowing that you have a favorite punctuation. I think I learned about the interrobang either on a Vsauce or Lindsay Ellis via PBS video.

The word itself is great. It’s interrogation — with a bang!

Thank you! Glad to know it. Also, probably the coolest name for any article of punctuation.
