Names -> Stupid Band Names -> J
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.
Name | Description | Submitted by: | ||
| J-Lo | Sounds like Jell-O. I guess there's always room for a performer named Jell-O...I mean, J-Lo! | Vic George | ||
| J-Lo | ...and we'll call Alanis Morisette A-Mo, Elton John E-Jo, Janet Jackson J-Ja...come on, Jennifer! | Unicorn | ||
| J. Lo | Sorry, Jen, but just cause you change your name doesn't mean that people will change their opinion of you. | Danielle | ||
| Jabberjaw | Please, just shut up! | hekifier | ||
| Jacks Jannequin | So, they're totally ripping off another far superior band called Jacks Mannequin? Nobody's even heard of these guys, but I'm not about to give them a chance! There's a lack of originality! It probably goes beyond the stupid name! | hekifier | ||
| The Jam | You want toast with that? | Matt | ||
| James | Not particularly easy to remember, gets confused with James Taylor, James Dean, Etta James, anyone with the first or last name "James", any place names, any companies, etc.. it's very hard to search for on the Internet! And there's six of them as well. Ask a James fan "What do you think of him?" and he'll punch you! | Dan Abnormal | ||
| Jane's Addiction | We shouldn't be supporting addictions. We should support Jane getting off drugs. | Travis | ||
| Jazz Is Dead | I can imagine a couple of old men who were born in the 1920s protesting to change their name outside venues. How could they name their band after a genre with a rich history?!?! | Devin | ||
| Jefferson Airplane/ Jefferson Starship/ Starship | Okay, first rule of Band Names: Never change the name of your band! Second rule of Band Names: Never change the name of your band! Last rule of Band Names: don't give your band a name that could possibly be the name of a PBS kid's show. | pauhead | ||
| Jehovah's Waitresses | If you're going to make fun of religious groups, go after the big ones! | El Davo | ||
| Jesus Christ Smokes Holy Gasoline | First rule of band names : No religious reference, someone is bound to take offence. Second rule of band names : Don't pick your words out of the hat randomly. Third rule of band names : Surely Austrian bands need more Austrian names. | Bobo | ||
| Jesus Jones | From the same record label as: "Buddha Smith" , "Muhhamed Davis" , and "Confucious Wilson." | Cerulean | ||
| Jibbs | Sounds to me like a brand of peanut butter. | hekifier | ||
| Jimmy Eat World | Jimmy Eat World? How fat does this Jimmy guy have to be? Godzilla Eat World would make more sense, but whatever. Also, the initials spell JEW. Don't think that's supposed to mean anything though. | Tony | ||
| Jimmy Eat World | How hungry are you? He wasn't kidding when he said "I could eat a horse". In fact, he went much further than eating a horse. | Travis | ||
| Jimmy the Hoover | Malcolm McLaren named them. He also named the Sex Pistols. Somehow Jimmy the Hoover doesn't quite have the same impact. | Chris | ||
| Jimmy Underpass And The 5 Way's Combo | this was a name which Black Sabbath's manager came up with, luckily the group didn't agree with it. Can you imagine asking for a CD? "can I have a Jimmy Underpass and the 5 way's combo CD please?" | Mark | ||
| Jimmy's Chicken Shack | They sound like a bunch of HICKS! | Dude | ||
| Jimmy's Chicken Shack | sounds like the snack bar at the annual fair in GREENBOUGH ALABAMA. | Joker | ||
| Jimmy's Chicken Shack | Welcome to Jimmy's Chicken Shack, can I take your order? | Vesta84 | ||
| JJ72 | Sounds like a tragically very, very big bra size. If you were to have this particular size, you would probably explode! | Dan Abnormal | ||
| Job For A Cowboy | Job For A Cowboy sounds like a country western name... Not like a name for a Deathcore band... | Maggot army | ||
| Job For A Cowboy | Because nothing says "death metal" like the old west. | hamp | ||
| John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band | People for the ethical treatment of animals is hot on the trail of John Cafferty for hiring small bucktoothed mammals to perform. | P. H. | ||
| Johnny After 4 | What if they play before 4:00... ? Are they going to hell or something ? I mean there isn't even someone named Johnny in the band... can Johnny play before 4:00? | Mega | ||
| Johnny Hates Jazz | That's nice that you hate jazz, Jonny, since I know that I'm probably the only one who knows "Shattered Dreams," and no one would remember Louis Armstrong or anything. | pauhead | ||
| Jump, Little Children | Just like "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah", this is simply an instruction. Who in their right mind would give their band a name like that?! | Joe Siebert | ||
| Jurassic 5 | What are they dinosaurs or something?? | Timmy | ||
| Just 5 | Just five what? | hamp | ||
| Just Plain Cheese | They just wanted to clairify that they want just plain cheese. Not cheese and crackers or a ham and cheese sandwich. Just plain cheese. | Travis |

Submissions Are Accepted Again
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.
