Discussion Overview

The thread revolves around brainstorming creative and humorous names for a band. Participants share various suggestions and engage in playful dialogue about the potential names, exploring the themes of music style and band identity.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants propose names like "Fred Zapplin Presents," "Wookie Translator," and "Population Gravy," among others.
  • One participant suggests that the band should avoid using someone else's name to prevent legal issues.
  • Several humorous suggestions are made, including "They told us not to make this band name too long - so we did just to piss them off," and "Thinking About It."
  • There are discussions about the appropriateness of long band names and the potential for them to be memorable or forgettable.
  • Some participants express that certain names sound more like album titles rather than band names.
  • Names like "Statutory Ape," "Dihydrogen monoxide," and "Aphrodesiac" are introduced, showcasing a mix of humor and creativity.
  • One participant humorously suggests using their screen name in a band name, like "Jonny Trigonometry and the Vectors."

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the humorous nature of the suggestions but do not reach a consensus on a single band name. Multiple competing views and suggestions remain throughout the discussion.

Contextual Notes

Some names proposed may not be suitable due to potential copyright issues, and there is an ongoing debate about the effectiveness of long versus short band names.

Who May Find This Useful

Oh, too bad you're not metal. I think HIV is a great name. Oh, its kind of like Anthrax. Well, that makes it less good, kind of a copy-off.

I always thought 'The Cupid Stunts' would be a great name for a band.
