Velle 5 Posted December 16, 2018 Just for fun Asked people about bands they hated and a couple mentioned that some they disliked because they didn't like the band's name. So here's a new topic : What said ins stupid band names in VK in your opinion? names of musicians count as well I'll start : Dog inthe Parallel World Orchestra/ PWO - just what? Blu-Billion - horrible to day 1 IGM_Oficial reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

violetchain 912 Posted December 16, 2018 I thought Sadie was fine until I found out it was pronounced "saddy", not like the girls' name, which is dumb on many different levels. 1 1 1 1 1 suji, God, Seimeisen and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LIDL 692 Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) cocklobin, man! It might be cute to say it while in Japan. Even publicly. But not so much when you're in English speaking country. For the sheer misunderstamding it might cause.

cvltic 1482 Posted December 16, 2018 i hate shit like this: ???

Gesu 1537 Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, GreatNorthernVK said: Any band name that makes it deliberately hard to search for them. Obscure would be a good example of this. They're the band Lay and 4ge formed after Fatima disbanded with singer/guitarist Nobara, and the only way I could find any trace of their music was by Googling "obscure nobara". To top it all off, Lay and 4ge changed their stage names to Cake and Zizimakia respectively. Other shitty band names: * BUNNEIES * 0801弐209336 * Crazy★Shampoo * Un=(XAG) I found those all on a list a while back, as well as some others that have already been mentioned. 4 hours ago, LIDL said: cocklobin, man!

"Hey, what are you listening to?", "cocklobin, man!", "heyyy! there's minor here!" 😂😂😂 These guys are also on that list I found. They disbanded a while back, but they honestly weren't that bad. Not the best, but they had some pretty good songs. I would recommend Daphnis, Grisaille and Cock. Yes, Cock. Also, who could forget Bump Of Chicken? They were originally gonna be called Cowards Strike Back, but it got mistranslated as Bump Of Chicken. I mean... I guess I get it? A coward can be described as chicken, and if you strike something, you may bump it...

Tokage 5930 Posted December 16, 2018 one thing i can say is that i'm at least glad most VK bands don't just settle for the boring 'The [adjective] [noun]s' or 'The [noun]' band names that said, my pick is ANGRY FROG REBIRTH. I know it's not a VK band, but still.. 1 Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gen mentioned a while back on Twitter that it comes from this: The original drummer was a big Gundam fan, but apparently he misspelled "Sazabi" and I guess it was too late to change it when they noticed. 2 1 Gesu, NICKT and CAT5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alkaloid 3143 Posted December 17, 2018 The crazy nonsensical ones are my favorites. I find them really funny. My idea of terrible band names are the really common/boring/hard to search names. But since nonsense is what we're going for, how has no one mentioned Crazy☆shampoo yet? 1 suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One Ok Rock as well, was named so for they practice at 1 o'clock, or so I've heard. (wan okuroku) I imagine there might be at least some reasoning behind a lot of these names, whether it makes them less bad is still up for debate though...
