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.
Latest Entries
The 20 most recent entries are listed below. There are 2368 Band Name Origin entries on the site.
Name | Description | Submitted by: | ||
| 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 | ||
| We Came As Romans | As far as I'm aware none of the band members are actually Italian. | Jay | ||
| Sponge Cola | Is that a rejected name for a kind of soda? | Chris | ||
| Mallory Knox | The name suggests a solo performer, possibly a female, but this act is a band of all males. | Cassandra | ||
| Halifax | Halifax is a city in Nova Scotia, Canada, but this band is American. (However, two of the members played in a hockey tournament there in the early 2000s, which is supposedly why they gave their band this name. Still, I think it's silly for an American band to name itself after a major city from outside the U.S.) | K.N. Pepper | ||
| Scary Pool Party | This name sounds like it should be a group, but it's just one person (Alejandro Aranda). | Katt |

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.
