Worst Band Names in VK?

[Velle 5]

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

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.

[GreatNorthernVK 183]

Any band name that makes it deliberately hard to search for them.

oh yeah, [-Ad-]!

[LIDL 692]

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. "Hey, what are you listening to?", "cocklobin, man!", "heyyy! there's minor here!"  😂😂😂

shilfee and tulipcorobockles - no idea how to pronounce it 

[JamesR 119]

THE MAD SIMPSON takes the cake - edgy, nonsensical and ALL CAPS!

(killer band tho)

[cvltic 1482]

i hate shit like this:

？？？ (read "hatena")
Uma ("yuuma"... how is anyone gonna think anything but horse)
麺’ｓ卵 ("men's egg")
彡 ("keno")

 

DragonWAPPPPPPER, Berallwarp Rheim, P*Route, ギャックメン (gyackmen, sounds like a hairball), Guy's Family, PIECElang were all p bad

キナルラ/kinarura as "kenllre" is awful

Develop One’s Faculties and breakin' holiday sound dumb as hell too.

 

i think you can't beat a punchy one-word name that doesn't have some ridiculous reading.

[Doesn'tEvenGoHere 121]

Any band name with unnecessary punctuation marks in it. 

[Deremie 12]

For me it's Schwartz:Mist

idk if the second word is supposed to be english but if it's german like the first one tries to be, that translates to black shit.

 

also, dad-aroma.

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.

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...

 

ETA: Also, do you guys remember Dirty Darkling

 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..

Oh, is that what it was supposed to be? 😮 I always assumed it was a botched translation of "goose bumps"

VK names are bad, but mainstream rock bands are worse:

 

Bump Of Chicken

Mr. Children

One Ok Rock

Radwimps

The Oral Cigarettes

04 Limited Sazabys

My Hair is Bad

 

It's like they pull out random words from a hat.

04 Limited Sazabys is actually a fairly direct name. 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.

[Alkaloid 3143]

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?

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...

I mentioned them. Never listened to them, but with a name like that, I doubt they're anything special. Then again, who knows?
