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.

Name | Description | Submitted by: | ||
| The Lemonheads | People's heads aren't made out of lemon! It seems as though the band thought this would make them sound cool. But really it just says "look at how pretentious, silly, and stupid we are". :P | Edward | ||
| Oxo | Yes Oxo, really. :P They were a "one hit wonder" in the early 1980s with a song titled "Whirly Girl", which was just as stupid as the band name. Either somebody was drunk when they came up with that or they let a 5 year old name the band. | Edward | ||
| Peppermint Trolley Company | Yet another in the long line of '60s psychedelic groups coming up with band names while on enough LSD to power a commercial airliner. | Calvin Wilkerson | ||
| The Psychedelic Furs | What on earth do psychedelics have to do with fur? How are furs psychedelic? This is either a case of just putting two random words together, or they were high on something when they came up with the name because it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. | Edward | ||
| Frankie Goes to Hollywood | Nobody in this band is named Frankie. | Larcen Tyler | ||
| Memphis May Fire | Or Memphis may not? Also note that "fire" is a transitive verb, so we need to know what exactly Memphis may be firing for it to make sense. | Nat | ||
| Spoon | Any time you name your band after a kitchen utensil, it's going to sound ridiculous and stupid. :P | Edward | ||
| The Rembrandts | Neither of them have the surname Rembrandt. | Steve Martin Short | ||
| Dead & Company | They're not dead at all. Besides, dead people can't perform. | Ben | ||
| Schoolhouse Rock | The majority of their songs are jazz, not rock. | Brad | ||
| Royal Blood | Neither member of the band has proven whether they're actually of noble birth or not. | Jay | ||
| Rose Royce | This is a band, but it could be mistaken as the first and last name of a solo performer (which is NOT the case). | Joe | ||
| Heaven 17 | Where are all the other 16 heavens? Furthermore, there weren't 17 people in the band to make the number, there were only 3 maximum. | Steve | ||
| Post Malone | Who would name their kid Post? It would better fit an NBA player. | Lance Crackers | ||
| Cannons | There are no cannons in this band, and none of these musicians have the last name Cannon. At least their music's cool. | Sheila Oh | ||
| Joyce Manor | Yet another name that suggests the first and last name of a soloist (possibly a female), but is actually a band. | Mr. Critic | ||
| Greta Van Fleet | You'd be forgiven for thinking that this was a solo female singer, but you'd be absolutely wrong. It's actually a 4 man band, I know I don't get it either! Why they gave their band a name that has people thinking they're a solo woman singer is beyond me, but it certainly is stupid. There's just absolutely no good reason for doing that. | Edward | ||
| Yazz | This act (a solo female from England) could easily be confused with Yaz, a Brit new-wave band also known as Yazoo in its native country. | Mr. Critic | ||
| Lukas Graham | The name suggests a solo performer. But it's not. It's just a band. And the lead singer is not called Lukas Graham, but Lukas Forchhammer. (**Editor's note: PLEASE do not use smartquote apostrophes when submitting. Use neutral quotation marks only. One way to do this is to submit from a PC, not a phone.) | BrilliantJ8 | ||
| Planet P Project | There is no such planet as Planet P. And Pluto has been deplanetized so the band's name can't refer to it. | Rock Maninoff |

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.
