Names -> Stupid Band Names -> Latest Entries
These are the band names that we feel are just plain stupid. Bands pick the most absurd names, who wants to be known as a member of the "Butthole Surfers"? We only accept entries for this page that make fun of a band name. Just saying a band is lame (no matter how lame they might be) isn't a good reason for entry.
The 20 most recent entries are listed below. There are 900 Band Name Origin entries on the site.
Name | Description | Submitted by: | ||
| Girly Man | Really, would anyone want to be known as a girly man? The music is good, but the band name stinks. It's an Oxymoron. | James | ||
| Vomit Remnants | I saw an anagram of its name posted om amiright, and I thought someone MUST be joking in implying that there really is such a band. But I looked it up and sure enough, there is a Japanese death metal band with just that name! The best I can say for them is that I hope they don't know English well enough to know what their name means. What can I say about the name beyond what it speaks for itself? Just trust me, if something is too gross for me, it is just TOO GROSS! | Terror Reid | ||
| The Number 12 Looks Like You | Uh, no, it most certainly does not. Seriously, what moron thought THIS name was a good idea? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Elastica | Another name that sounds like a Metallica rip-off. | Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| Spandau Ballet | Spandau was a prison that held Nazi war criminal Rudolf Hess. After his suicide in 1987 the prison was demolished to prevent it from becoming a neo-Nazi shrine. "Spandau Ballet" - does that sound like a "Nazi rock" band name? | Philadelphia Soul | ||
| Deftones | How can you differentiate between tones if you're deaf? | Jonathan S. | ||
| White Town | You like sounding racist, don't you? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Apocalyptica | Sounds like a lame rip-off of Metallica. | Jonathan S. | ||
| The View | Yes, there is a band with this name. Anytime it's mentioned, people will think of a certain U.S. daytime TV talk show and not a Scottish band. | Mr. Critic | ||
| 1000 Homo DJ's | Another name that invites people to poke fun at it, and 1,000 is just too big of a number, anyway. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Insane Clown Posse | All the times I heard the band's acronym, ICP (which is what they usually go by), I didn't really think much of it, but then my mom heard it, and she laughed and joked about it. (get it? It sounds like "I see pee.") Then I realized how truly stupid the name is. | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Dirty Mac | What the heck is that supposed to mean? Did their frontman just walk by a bowl of macaroni and dirt and then instantly think of "Dirty Mac?" Geez. | nosckaJ | ||
| Death From Above 1979 | Yes this is real! First off, above what? Plus, if death really came from "above," then wouldn't the person notice it? Second off, they weren't formed in 1979. Not even close! They formed in 2001, for pete's sake! | nosckaJ | ||
| Dickie Doo & The Dont's | For starters, this name is just begging to be heavily mocked for the first word alone, to say nothing of the jokes that would include the "doo" part of the equation. Second, why would you want to be known as a "don't?" Wouldn't you rather be called something more positive? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Poi Dog Pondering | Poi is a Hawaiian delicacy. So does adding a pondering dog to it make it taste better? | Ivan The Inept | ||
| Crystal Castles | The name is terrible, and the music is even worse. It's not anything you'd associate with crystals or castles. | Rocky Mountain Hy | ||
| The Flys | Ordinarily, I wouldn't care that the name is misspelt. However, when I heard the name on the radio, I assumed it had the normal spelling ("flies"), so when I searched it on Google and NOTHING came up [band-wise, I mean], I naturally got frustrated. I only found out the "correct" spelling by accident while looking at a radio station's playlist! In short, don't make a band name that's going to cause that much confusion. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Roxy Music | Excuse me, but what kind of music is roxy music? Is it music played with rocks?!! | Rock Maninoff | ||
| Less Than Jake | Less WHAT than Jake? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Bury Your Dead | ... Well DUH!! what else would I do with my dead? | Andrew |

Much like the stupid song lyrics page, I get a lot of submissions for this page. More than I can really handle. The problem is that I get a lot of "Blink 182 is stupid 'cuz I said so" submissions, which I have to waste time deleting (though not much). I also get a lot of submissions that just aren't funny. I guess the real problem is that the word stupid can mean so many things, and hence every band name could be considered stupid.
So in short, don't bother sending me stupid email about this stupid page, or you're stupid.
If you have a creative/humorous idea, please submit it.
