xjustinxschwierx Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I will never listen to Mixtapes. Hate the name so much. not super into that band at all, but I think me and my g/f hung out with the lady singer at the Fest waiting in line to get into the HWM show, if that was her, she's pretty awesome.

steventangent Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Why the fuck not, there are a million kajillion bands out there. Too many fucking bands. Too many fucking bands. There are too many fucking bands. There are. Don't want to listen to a band with a stupid fucking name? Find another one. You can't throw a rotten grapefruit and not get citric acid in some shithead in some indiepunkaltcountryfolkrockskametalcore twats eye. Most of these gerbil turds can't write a decent lyric to save their lives, either. We should really quit pretending any of this shit is valid. superpeephole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza, check em'! I tend to check out bands with ridiculous names. I'll take a quirky name over a serious-ass hardcore band name any day. I.E. As I Lay Dying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a quirky name over a serious-ass hardcore band name any day. I.E. As I Lay Dying I also find myself more willing to write off a band who's trying too hard to sound serious and hardcore when they name their bands. There's too many tough guys naming their crappy tough guy bands crappy band names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I keep seeing this band at Hot Topic: Gay For Johnny Depp. If that isn't the worst band name ever I don't know what is. I feel like a douche even writing it here let alone listen to what has to be some of the worst gimmick driven trash ever recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 i have never listened to OFWGKTA due to their name. And i saw on Lambgoat the other day that there is a band called Loincloth that signed to Southern Lord. Probably wouldn't walk around sporting a t-shirt with the word "Loincloth" on it. Branding, dudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 It's a highly useful tool to weed out bullshit. 99% of the time it's dead accurate too. this is true. a band name can tell you a lot about a band. a lot should go into choosing a band name. there's only one time i liked a band and hated their name, that was stretch arm strong. just go look at absolutepunk.net. 1/3rd of the news entries are"[insert stupid name here that you've never heard of] has broken up. statement in the replies".

patron Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 You guys are silly. Most of my favourite bands have stupid names. Hell, almost all band names are stupid until you get used to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I never gave bands with awful names a chance I would have missed the awesomeness of Beep Beep, TV On The Radio, Armchair Martian, La Dispute, Touche Amore, Fucked Up, The Wonder Years, A Great Big Pile Of Leaves, ext. I know this is thread more focused on bands with names like IWrestledABearOnce, but a lot of those names I listed above aren't cool at all haha.

almightyseancore Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 i like to take bands with stupid names and form better names. puddle of mudd + story of the year = puddle of the year. fucking nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I mean when it comes to stupid names I think Grind/Thrash take the trophy w/ bands such as... Fuck I'm Dead Fuck On the Beach Anal Cunt Ass Chapel Assuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xadamhudsonx Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I do this regularly. I automatically write off a band if I think the name is stupid. Usually, it's 100% accurate though. The Devil Wears Prada, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, 3Oh!3 etc. I don't have to listen to them to know they lick taint. The one band I love whose name I hate is Murder By Death. Such a terrible choice, and yet they're so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest errolwest Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 ive gotten really good at knowing what a band will sound like based on name/album artwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 the scary kids scaring kids one also reminded me of Forever The Sickest Kids which is also beyond awful. With MBD, the name sounds like every generic metalcore band out there but most folks don't catch the literary reference and I know I was surprised when I finally heard them as they sounded nothing like what I thought they would.
