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 636 Band Name Origin entries on the site.
Name | Description | Submitted by: | ||
| MC 900 Ft Jesus | Actually, he's a rapper. But he got his name from a sermon that Oral Roberts preached about. | Paul Warren | ||
| Stroke 9 | You expect me to believe somebody is going to keep track of how many times he strokes a guitar? And just what is so important about that NINTH stroke, anyway? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Bootsauce | What the hell is bootsauce anyway? Is it like foot sweat or something? | hamp | ||
| Big & Rich | Name sounds purely like bragging, making it a band that would hardly be expected to much respect its fans, Fans could well feel passed off as insignificant peons by the band name. | Tiffany Llewellyn-Affit | ||
| The Academy Is... | Is what? It's an incomplete sentence. That's like if I just stopped typing right here and... | Anne | ||
| The The | With the rule that "The" does not count towards alphabetization, this band technically has no name. | Jake | ||
| Adagio | 'Adagio' is part of the name of many musical compositions (mainly classical). So if you try to do a search (like on amazon.com, for example) for the band called 'Adagio', the few listings of their albums will be buried, drowinging in a sea of results referring to composition titles containing 'Adagio'. | Doodah Bobo | ||
| Secondhand Serenade | Now, not that I have anything against this guy... but that's just it. He's ONE guy. When everyone else walks around using their own two names, he has to pick the longest two words he can think of to create an alias that beats him in size. I don't get it. | Alex | ||
| Nine Inch Nails | Methinks it's awkward because the name is plural, but it has just one member (Trent Reznor). | Jonathan S. | ||
| Butthole Surfers | I do not believe you can surf in a butthole. Or, well, I can't anyway. | Shido | ||
| The Game | Might be appropriate if it was a band, since many bands use "The (something)" as their names, but it's only one guy! (Namely, a rapper. Shows how far rap artists will go to get attention.) | Mr. Critic | ||
| The 5678's | It wouldn't be, except "5678" (pronounced five-six-seven-eight) isn't really a noun to begin with. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Flyleaf | You've got a leaf in your fly?! Isn't the main singer (of this band) a girl? This gets my vote for silliest-sounding band name ever. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Flogging Molly | I thought beating women went out with horse-drawn buggies--and what did Molly ever do to you?! | Jonathan S. | ||
| Bush | Naming your band after a typical shrub is kind of dull, and more importantly, I can't look at, or hear, the name without thinking of George W. Bush (or his daddy, for that matter). | Jonathan S. | ||
| Breaking Benjamin | Shattering some poor guy's bones isn't my idea of a cool band name. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Cinderella | Why would you name a heavy metal band after a girlie children's movie? | Screaming Mutt | ||
| Fox the Fox | From the Department of Redundancy Department ... | Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| N.E.R.D. | It might make most people (nerd-rock fans notwithstanding) want to not listen to the band. | hamburger456 | ||
| Bullet For My Valentine | Perhaps they mean it literally, but I still keep thinking of it as a sexual euphimism. | Jonathan S. |

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.
