Names -> Stupid Band Names -> M
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: | ||
| M | You know...the one-man band who did "Pop Muzik." As for the name, it makes for a lot of confusion, and you can FORGET about trying to search for it on the Internet; search "M" and you get "Marilyn Manson, Motorhead, Metallica", etc. . . . | Jonathan S. | ||
| M2M | Well im not sure if this is very well know but I was told that M2M in net speak means man to man AKA gay sex. thats not the imagry marion and marit were looking for is it? | Rebecca | ||
| M2M | Come on.. M2M? can't we have a *little* originality? And they said they used it because M & M was taken. | Aurora | ||
| Major Figgas | I wish rappers would stop with the intentional misspellings. And "major figures" makes me think of extremely large numbers that have to be written in scientific notation. | Marcus van der Meer | ||
| A Man Named Adam | Same as A Guy Called Gerald... if you are called Adam, why not just say... Adam. | Bobo | ||
| Man Or Astroman | You asking me? I haven't a clue whether you a man or an astroman really. | Bobo | ||
| Marilyn Manson | He is neither a woman, nor is he related to Charles Manson (and his REAL name isn't Manson, either). Yes, I'm aware the artist PICKED this as a pseudonym of sorts, but that doesn't mean it isn't incredibly lame-sounding! | Jonathan S. | ||
| Maroon 5 | They won't say how they came up with it. It's probably because they don't want to admit that maroon is their favourite colour. Can you blame them? | Song | ||
| Master P | There is no point to it. Like 'Nelly' 'Eminem' 'The Black-Eyed Peas' and 'Q-tip'. | Billy Killgore | ||
| Master P | The name didn't sound so stupid until I watched an awards show with my brother who jokingly asked, "If Master P is there, will Master Poop show up too?" That comment just added a really lame element to the name of Master P. Besides, rappers come up with the lamest names.... | Andi | ||
| Matchbox Twenty | While I love the band, but is it 1) The number of match boxes Rob Thomas uses per diem to light their cigarettes? 2) The number on the side of the little toy MatchBox™ racecar? 3) Instructions for a game show? (Match box 20 to win $5,000 and a trip for two to Florida!) | Cerulean | ||
| Meat Beat Manifesto | One of the only times the band is really good but not the name, but they picked THE name that I'm too embarrassed to recommend to others. | The Desert of the Real | ||
| Meat Beat Manifesto | Reminds me of the Unabomber | Amerikashka | ||
| Men at Work | I guess they had to tell us that singing was their job. Yeah, maybe we did need some clarification on that. | Billy Florio | ||
| Men Without Hats | Can't they just wear hats? It's not gonna kill 'em or anything. | Stockton | ||
| Metallica | Would you call a rap group "The Rappers"? Or a new wave band "The New Wave"? If they hadn't set the standard for heavy metal as we know it, it just would've been a big joke. | tinyhak | ||
| Methods of Mayhem | It's an okay name, but what's with getting the name from an album of sound effects? Somebody's gotta lay offa the dope... | killer_roach | ||
| The Mighty RAW | What is so mighty about raw meat? Even the phrase "Mighty Raw" sounds like it belongs in a WWE tournament, not making Power Rangers music! On the other hand, shouldn't that be very telling about their mentality level? | BulldozerBegins | ||
| Moby | Is his last name Dick or Grape? | Greg G. | ||
| Moby Grape | One of those "fruit" bands from the sixties. I think it was really Herman Melville's first novel. | Dano | ||
| The Mock Turtles | Their name is misleading because they aren't a Turtles tribute band. | B1982 | ||
| Modjo | Whenever I see this band it reminds me of that monkey off the powerpuff girls. | Lisa | ||
| The Moffats | Makes me think of milk and cows... | Mac | ||
| Mokenstef | I know it came from the band members' first names, but to me it sounds more like a German beer. | 59Eagle | ||
| The Monkees | The correct spelling is 'monkeys,' not 'monkees.' And during the 60's, when the band formed, it was not common to misspell names. | jonny | ||
| Mordred | An innovative band with a medieval name? why? | Chris | ||
| Motley Crue | An American band that thinks it's Scandanavian. How tacky is that? | hardrocker | ||
| Mott The Hoople | What the hell does that even mean anyway, think if someone came up to you and said "Hi I am Mott The Hoople" I would tell them that they need serious help. | hamp | ||
| Mr. Children | It would be weird to walk up to some guy and they'd say "Hey, my name's Mr. Children!" | Mitsuki | ||
| Mr. Mister | Sounds like a character from Sesame Street! | Charles Chester | ||
| Mr. Mister | And just to clarify...I am a man | Redox | ||
| Mr. Mister | It seems like the same concept for Major Major's character in Catch-22, I'd hate to be the Mrs. Mister | Billy Florio | ||
| Mute Math | When is math muted? Did they have TV Teachers? | Paul Warren | ||
| MxPx | What's with the x's? Is this some kind of cover up, or is it because their music is x-tra lame. Actually, it's an abbreviation for Magnified Plaid, that name is stupid too. | Marvin | ||
| My Bloody Valentine | Its name is the same as a gory slasher film in the 80's. That should give you a clue. | newave | ||
| My Chemical Romance | I guess they really like science! What kinda chemical are they in love with? I also say that they think they're much more *emoer* deeper than us because they moan about loooove, vampires and death. Wow. | Rip | ||
| My Dog Has Hitler's Brain | Seriously, there is a band called that. But now wouldnt it be scary if you owned that dog and you were Jewish? | Mac |

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.
