!!! (Chk Chk Chk) I love them as a band and the name makes sense once you know what it’s representing, but it’s terrible for searching or recommending to people.

Dying Fetus get a shout, as do The Child Molesters, and The Length Of The Nails That They Used To Crucify Jesus, but they’re just offensive. Worst bad names have to be The Band or The Music.

Jimmy Eat World should be part of the conversation due to their acronym.

IMO, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an awfully high good band/dumb name differential

The band öOoOoOoOoOo is a bit unwieldy. Supposedly pronounced as “caterpillar” in whatever language you prefer.

To be completely honest, I don’t consider any name to be bad. You may say AxCx is terrible name, but once you give them a listen it exactly fits the name. Same goes for Hijokaidan, who are actually named based on one of fan’s suggestion claiming that “escape staircase” suits their sound more. Party Cannon is absolutely hillarious imo, when you look at the logo and the sound. Brojob also has a name that fits their lyrical themes. In some cases the name may come out a bit lame, but bad names? Nah. I don’t consider any name bad, most of them sound either fucking epic and/or hillarious when you look at the full picture. Come on, let musicians have some fun.

I heard a song by an indie band called Purulent Vagina. It sounded exactly how you’d expect it to.

There was a brief time when Tommy Chong was on a band under the name “4 N*'s and a C*,” and every now and again I remember that fact and think “What the actual fuck was he thinking.”

There’s a punk band who were called Slaves. After a free years of people saying “are you sure that’s the name you want to go with, being a couple of white guys?” They decided no they were not and changed it to Soft Play

Not technically a band but I have always thought the DJ called ‘Breakfast’ was a terrible choice

@metaphortune@lemmy.world 2026-04-30 21:20
Not as visceral as a lot of the other options, but it is very annoying when bands (especially smaller bands) formed in the last 15-20 years choose names that make it difficult to find their music online. Saw a band as openers once called “1,2,3”. Similar for bands choosing very simple words like “Apartment”, “Paint”, or “Basement”. Even bigger bands like “Shame”, “Wednesday”, and “Idles” are tricky IMO. Name your band whatever you want, of course, but understand the consequences of your actions!

I think it is a bit funny to see this question, I was in a thread just now finding out there is a band named Xavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffx And apparently is it a abbreviation for “Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated by Mass Amounts of Filthy Fecal Fisting and Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside the Infected Maggot Infested Womb of a Molested Nun Dying Under the Roof of a Burning Church While a Priest Watches and Ejaculates in Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus”,
