Names -> Stupid Band Names -> S
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: | ||
| Sade | Sounds unoriginal, and besides, what are her fans are supposed to be called? Sadists? | Xie21 | ||
| Saigon Kick | It sounds too much like Hanoi Rocks. | Billy Florio | ||
| Saliva | Oh Saliva. You mean that sloshy stuff that is in your mouth? Wow! That certainly doesn't sound like a cool band name to me! | Travis | ||
| Salt n Pepa | Sounds like something I put on my chips or in my soup. | Jade | ||
| Salt n Pepa | I think the name is Dumb n Dumba | Billy Florio | ||
| Salt n' Pepa | It doesn't sound right when you see it, and it reminds me of the cat food called "Whiskas". | ~The Lizard~ | ||
| Savage Garden | How can a garden be savage? You must have had some fertilizer in there when you watered so it mutated. | Travis | ||
| Savage Garden | Why would a garden be savage? did they forget 2 water it or something? | Suga' Baby | ||
| Saving Abel | Don't bother trying to save him. He's dead already. | Travis | ||
| Say Anything | That's not a band name, it's an instruction! Sure, we can all say anything... | Mr. Critic | ||
| Scandal 'Us | What is it the sudden rage crappy pop "bands" (and I use the term loosly) and using an apostrophe in the title? This is by far the worst offender. | QarnoS | ||
| Scissor Sisters | It sounds like the name of a girl's primary school needlework club | Jason | ||
| Screaming Blue Messiahs | Fire-and-brimstone evangelical Smurfs? | Vic George | ||
| Screaming Blue Messiahs | Three words: pretentious, pretentious, pretentious. | Greg G. | ||
| Screaming Trees | Trees cannot scream. They are living things, but they are plants, not animals. | Mr. Critic | ||
| 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 | ||
| Secret Secret Dino Club | Sounds like some crappy kid's show, and why do they have to say "secret" twice? | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Secretions | Dude... That's gross... Too much information, period. | Sin Sharee Insanity | ||
| Semisonic | It's good that half of you are sonic, why did you forget the other 50%? Go back to junior high school and learn maths percentages. What next, 3/4 sonic?? 0.0075% hydraulic? Can't see them releasing a platinum-selling album in the future. | Dan Abnormal | ||
| Sensational Alex Harvey Band | But WHY? What was he smoking? | Bobo | ||
| Sepultura | It sounds like a flower...which would have been okay...had they not been a death metal band! | Mac | ||
| Set Your Goals | I guess one coming up with a good band name wasn't one of their goals. | Maya | ||
| Shaggy | Come on! Cut Scooby some slack! | Billy F. | ||
| Shaggy | Sickening thought. Please don't get me explaining. | Bobo | ||
| Shaggy | Doesn't Scooby Doo have any rights? | Princess Chic | ||
| Shakespear's Sister | oh for god's sake. It was stupid before. Then they had to take the "e" off. Maybe learn to spell? | Sarah | ||
| Shakin' Stevens | No one has a first name of "Shakin'." (It's one person, btw.) | Mr. Critic | ||
| Shawnakeners | its a ugly boy name and it sounds like theyre some form of retard maraca breeded with a young dumb boy | Lee | ||
| She Wants Revenge | Identify who "she" is, could you? | Alan of Seville | ||
| Shinedown | I get the sneaking suspicion Chris Cornell [Audioslave, Soundgarden] had something to do with this...! | Kuutamo | ||
| Shout Out Louds | "Shout out loud" isn't a noun (thing). It can only be a phrase. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Shudder To Think | Sounds like a roofing company for Mensa members. | rockon | ||
| Shwayze | Sounds like a drunk person slurring Patrick Swayze's last name. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Sick Puppies | It sounds really "sissyfied" for a punk-rock band, and, you might find the name annoying if you're a dog person. (Hey, I said "might.") | Jonathan S. | ||
| Simple Plan | How simple was the plan for coming up with this crappy name? | Travis | ||
| Sister Soulijah | Sounds too much like "Sister Saliva" | Jo Jo Jody | ||
| Sixpence None the Richer | Okay, are they really so bad they can't even make money from their albums? | ~*^Girl^*~ | ||
| Skid Row | It makes me think of skid mark. And that's not exactly what I want to think about. | Travis | ||
| Skinny Puppy | Call the Humane Society. They're starvin' my babies. | punker | ||
| Slipknot | Reminds me of Boy Scouts | Chris | ||
| Sly Fox | Why do I feel that this would be the name of an AOL stalker and not the name of a band? | pauhead | ||
| Smash Mouth | Are they implying that they want us to hurt them? | ~Vickle-Pickle~ | ||
| Smash Mouth | Really. It sounds like something a caveman would say after hitting his mouth on something. "Hey, Ugh, What happened?" "Me smash mouth!" See? Think about this people. What kind of stupid name is that? | Morgan | ||
| Smash Mouth | Well, what do they do, punch people in the jaw while they sing? It makes no sense | TJdude825 | ||
| Smash Mouth | Why would you name your band smash mouth unless your songs are so bad you expect to get smashed in the mouth?! | Chance Gollnick | ||
| Smashing Pumpkins | It's unique, but it sounds too silly for a mainstream (non-comedic) rock band. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Smashing Pumpkins | Sounds like a good Halloween prank. Go across town and smash everyone's pumpkins. Whatever. | hekifier | ||
| Smile Empty Soul | I'd be careful who I'd tell this to. | Mr. Critic | ||
| The Smiths | When I first heard about this band, I thought they were all surnamed Smith. WRONG! None of them are. (Instead it refers to something completely different.) | Bob | ||
| Snap! | Snap!, Krackle!, Pop!, the elves for Rice Krispes. | Suga' Baby | ||
| Snoop Dogg | He says his mom use to call him that or something because of Snoopy from Peanuts, what? Yea, you are a bad ass aren't you. | heather | ||
| Snot | Seriously, THINK ABOUT IT. Yellow, germ-infested slime that your body is supposed to get rid of. That doesn't sound like a cool band name to me. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Snow Patrol | It sounds like the kind of cheesy name a music group from the 80's would've had, not a contemporary band from today! Besides, when I hear, "Snow Patrol", the mental picture I get is some guys riding around in a beat-up truck in a snowstorm. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Soft Cell | If you go to jail, is the cell SOFT? No, it isn't. I mean really, you can't expect the name to be intellectual if it's an eighties band...drugs were very popular then. | Number Six | ||
| Software | I've written enough computer software as it is to be sick to the bone of that word. | Bobo | ||
| Son Volt | Is there also a Daughter Ohm or Cousin Mega Hertz? | J.C. | ||
| Sonia Dada | I was very disappointed that this was a name of a band and not the Latina I was hoping for. | Rip Jeans | ||
| Soul Coughing | No-one's soul can cough, and even if it could, what would be the significance of it? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Soul Decision | What the heck is their soul deciding? | Mason Perez | ||
| Soulja Boy | Seriously, lern 2 spel. And you aren't street or cool either. | p00v | ||
| Soundgarden | How the hell can someone grow sound? I guess that implies that the members are farmers, right? | hekifier | ||
| Soundgarden | How the hell do you grow sound anyway? | Mr. Critic | ||
| Southern Culture On The Skids | Anyone who wishes to call their group a name which takes more than one breath to say gets the stupidity vote from me. | Bobo | ||
| Spandau Ballet | Spandau was a prison that held Nazi war criminal Rudolf Hess. After his suicide in 1987 the prison was demolished to prevent it from becoming a neo-Nazi shrine. "Spandau Ballet" - does that sound like a "Nazi rock" band name? | Philadelphia Soul | ||
| Spandau Ballet | Sissy Nazis? Or just pretentious saddos? | Chris | ||
| The Specials | They're just as special as the other thousands of bands in this world! Is there some narcissism going on here? | hekifier | ||
| Spice Girls | Their music isn't so spicy, and they look like pre-school nursery girls... | Mattias Johansson | ||
| Spice Girls | So, they think they're hot and spicy. They're not hot really. By the way, how come they all have the last name "spice"? It's kinda creepy. So are they. | Stockton | ||
| Splendora | Any person who in their right mind thinks that The mischief of Pandora (opening the 'forbidden' box, and unleashing dreadful things upon the world to all people) is splendid, and marries the 2 words together is a really sick person, as well as suicidal. | Wise Black Owl | ||
| Spoon | They're naming a band after an eating utensil! And they wonder why they're not successful? | hekifier | ||
| Spunkbucket | Cuz boxers spit in the spunk bucket, bartenders drain rags in the spunk bucket, porn stars do... well you got it?! | Roadie Joe | ||
| Squirel Nut Zippers | The band is good, but I couldn't remember the name of it to purchase the CD because the name is to strange. | Renee | ||
| Squirrel Nut Zippers | Most guys don't like the words "Nut" and "Zipper" in the same phrase. | dmz | ||
| Squirrel Nut Zippers | I mean seriously that just sounds painful not to metion doing that to squirrels. | #1 Nsync Fan | ||
| SR-71 | I know it's actually a super-sonic jet engine; but it sounds like just a random melange of letters and numbers. | Dave Harrison | ||
| SR71 | When you look at the name, you actually have to LOOK at it first to see if it spells anything, then after you realize it doesn't you are left with wondering what exactly it means... it reminds me of an identification card for an elderly person. | Darah Wraine | ||
| Staind | Are their arch rivals detergent? | Annie | ||
| Staind | Look at the name damnit. It just don't look right. | S.T.G. | ||
| Staind | Why can't they just get detergent. | Kwasi | ||
| Sticky | Name frequently used by Jamaican percussionist Uzziah Thompson. The name evokes images of someone covered with glue and Post-It notes. | Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| Still Remains | Okay, so the still remains. But the BIG question remains unanswered: Are they still making moonshine there? | Stan E. Cox-Hyde | ||
| Stone Sour | This could easily get mixed up as 'Stoned Sour' which could lead to some controversy. | Travis | ||
| Stone Sour | I know it's a kind of cocktail, it's just that it sounds like a caveman or somebody talking about the taste of a rock. "Ooh! Stone Sour! Me pucker lips." | Jonathan S. | ||
| Stone Temple Pilots | They should change it to Stoned Temple Pilots cause the lead singers always stoned.(Stonin himself in a temple while he was a pilot?) | Chewy | ||
| Stone Temple Pilots | The Stone Temple part makes sense. But where do pilots come into this? | Travis | ||
| Stone Temple Pilots | What the hell is a Stone temple Pilot? Are there Stone Church pilots? | Billy Florio | ||
| The Stranglers | It gives me a dirty image. | hekifier | ||
| Stratovarius | Hmmm...must've sounded really cool when you were 15...The joke wears out tho', doesn't it? | Kurva Bicha | ||
| Strawberry Alarm Clock | Kinda makes me think that they watched "A Clockwork Orange" too many times. | Gilmer | ||
| Strawberry Alarm Clock | It's just plain stupid. It's one of those band names from the 1960's when people were dropping acid and said, "This is cool." | crazydon | ||
| Strawberry Alarm Clock | An alarm clock made from strawberries or looks like a strawberry, or even might taste like a strawbeery. | lonefeather | ||
| The Streets | A plural name starting with "the" sounds like a band name, but this one is actually a stage name of one single person. | B1982 | ||
| String Cheese Incident | I love the images this brings to mind... | Rachel | ||
| 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. | ||
| Stroke 9 | Sounds like a Dick Cheney tribute band. | one | ||
| The Strokes | Were these guys into swimming or rowing? | Abdul Blade | ||
| Stupid | It is too easy to take literally | Chris | ||
| The Stupids | This is pretty self-explanatory. This is a real band, I swear! | Chris | ||
| Sugar Jones | What does it mean? How did they come up with it? Why did they choose it out of so many probable options? If there are this many questions, the name is wrong and the band should go away. | *a~m~a^n~d~a* | ||
| Sugar Ray | Not that I don't like the band but, does "Ray" like "sugar"? | Suga' Baby | ||
| The Sundays | Can anyone remember a generic name like that? | CERULEAN | ||
| Sunna | It sounds like one of those electric tanning machines that people have in their basements. | FELIX* | ||
| Sunseth Midnight | They can't spell "sunset", and they even know that sunset isn't in the midnight | MorMas Rage | ||
| Super Furry Animals | My first thought was, "You've got to be kidding." It sounds like some lame Saturday-morning kids' cartoon series. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Super Junky Monkey | Well that's just lame. Super Junky Monkey. How can a monkey be super, yet junky? The only way it could have been worse is if they tried to rhyme monkey with funky. That just would have been sad. | Travis | ||
| Superchic[K] | Ok, first of all there's like 2 "chicks" in the band, second of all they must both be feminazis. Finally, whats the deal with the brackets? | jif_a_rif | ||
| Supreme Clientele | The only clientele these washed-up rappers might be is the welfare agency' s. | Marcus van der Meer | ||
| Survivor | It's suprising, they didn't survive the 80's. | Tony Orlando | ||
| Survivor | For now on when their name is mentioned, people will think of a bad "Reality" TV show | Billy Florio | ||
| Swift | For those of you who are familiar with D-12, you should know that he also uses the pseudonym, "Swifty McVay", which is a little more interesting than just plain ol' "Swift". Especially since the other guys in D-12 thought up cool "second" names... | Martin | ||
| Switchfoot | Sounds like what a person who had to stand on one foot all day would do. | Vic George | ||
| The Swolly Wolly Hula Bula Humble Bumble Band | I'm SERIOUS! i did NOT make that up. but just imagine if their song was on the radio and someone called in to ask who it was by. the poor fans... and besides, its not even a name. it just rhymes. those arent even words. and it sounds like a saturday morning cartoon show. | Mac | ||
| System of a Down | What the hell is "a Down"? Must be something really complicated if it needs a whole system! Plus, I can't help thinking of the name as "Syndrome of a Down", like Down Syndrome, and if I were in a band, I would make sure our name didn't so easily call to mind mental retardation! | Kath |

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.
