You forgot “various artists” from Spotify.
They are also in RYM and AOTY.
So annoying. I dont care about these shitty compilation albums, I want to see how weezer connects to blue oyster cult

The worst thing a band name can be is forgettable imo
very true
Fun fact: when The Butthole Surfer's song Pepper was getting played on pop radio back in the 90s, the DJs couldn't say the band name. They had to call them "The B-hole surfers".
Casey Kasem would call them the BH Surfers. Honestly, choosing that name should have guaranteed them no mainstream radio play, which I'm sure would have been fine with them, then along comes some praise from Kurt Cobain and the world gets stood on its head. The '90s were wild.
Hoobasmelled. Hoobastinked. Hoobastank
But did Hoobastunk?
@@ProfessorBuge they have before and will again in the future
crywank going unmentioned is crazy
Coz its a great name
asking my mum to drive me to a crywank show was an experience that irreversibly changed my personality
i mean it's accurate to their sound
@@tobyowen-hughes1306SAMEEEE my dad literally went "y-you said its called a what..??"
Most people havent heard of them
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets should be in here, iconic band name
my parents listen to psychedelic porn crumpets and butthole surfers, it was very concerning to me when I first discovered it
There's a German metalcore band called "We Butter the Bread with Butter" or "WBTBWB" for short. That's actually great band name now that I think about it...
METALCORE BAND ABOUT BUTTER AND BREAD 😭😭
It's a Spinal Tap reference.
@@micmac274 Oh really? I didn't know that!
funny how saying WBTBWB actually requires more syllables and effort than just saying we butter the bread with butter
@@camelat7228 I'd doesn't require more syllables in German (they're from Germany), but I (also from Germany) have less of a problem with saying their full name than their abbreviation. 😅
Rainbow Kitten Surprise is one of the worst band names, imo. It sounds like something a theater kid who says shit like "You sir, have won the internet today" came up with.
For real, I was so confused when I got them on shuffle 😭
Da fuck does being a theater kid have to do saying " "You sir, have won the internet today" ?
"its cool cuz its ironic and self aware huhuhuh wanna see my heckin chonker doggo"
i love that band mostly cuz of their name…
@chuuchuuutrain Lol that's valid though. I was joking mostly cause I like the songs I've heard
I remember seeing that exact question on Reddit once and I commented:
"Rivers Cuomo was in a band called 60 Wrong Sausages before Weezer"
First response was "There’s three names in your comment and I don’t know which one is the worst"
All of them
i'd say the worst is the one that was intended to be the worst, 60 Wrong Sausages. Weezer is an inherently funny word but it fits their sound well, and Rivers Cuomo looks exactly like a guy who'd be named Rivers Cuomo
lmaoooo
Who's gonna tell him what a 'limp' biscuit is
I wish i didn't know ;-;
why did i look it up
just why
I didn't need to know...
What is it?
Soggy Sayo, Ookie cookie, sticky bicky, limp biscuit, wet wafer etc
How did yall forget “The Band” and “The The” 😭😭😭
i was just thinking about the the!
The The is pretty ingenious though, I was amazed that no one before had gotten that idea
In defense on The Band, they were named that somewhat accidentally iirc.
They were the studio band for some big singer and got credited as The Band when the single dropped
@@DougSalad”some big singer” you can just say Bob Dylan man
@@James-lk2sg I couldn't remember who it was and didn't want to be wrong lmao
imagine this guy finding out about I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (in all caps no apostrophes nor commas)
XD IDKHOW is a good band but the name is a bit much
Dallon said the name is a "natural gatekeeper" cause if you can't be bothered to remember an 8 word band name you're probably not gonna like his music. I kinda respect that
I thought butthole surfers was a pretty bad name when I first found about them but now I think I love it because it's the perfect name for what they do, such a crazy band lol
would be weird though if you tried to recommend it to someone who doesn't already know about them
lol yeah that's true
As for Limp Bizkit and the way it makes us all feel, in the Jojo manga there was a character named after the band, but for copyright reasons, in the English localization of the manga, the character is named Flaccid Pancake
MY PARENTS DID MAKE FUN OF THE NAME CAR SEAT HEADREST
😭 i think all of ours did
same😔😔
"Broom closet" would be a good witch house project name ngl
my first thought was "broomcloset" or "brmclst" as a hyperpop artist name
I'm sorry, im not trying to be daft, im just Gen X. What us "Witch House" and "hyper pop"? Is it electronic music? Like rave type stuff?
@@GredelsRageWitch House is a subgenre of EDM that had a moment in the early 2010's. it typically has a psychedelic feeling to it, making use of trap drum beats and high, airy synths. it's called Witch House because many artists use occult and horror elements in their visuals.
starting around 2018, hyperpop is (in my opinion) the beginnings of an entire new lane of music, combining things from just about every genre you can think of. much of hyperpop uses glitchy/twitchy distorted synths, trap beats, and heavily autotuned and pitched-up vocals. but hyperpop can also include elements of pop-punk, metal, dubstep/rave, industrial, video game music, you name it. and of course, there's a throughline of appreciation for the catchiness of typical pop music. hyperpop is more of a mindset than a genre, although there's still plenty of music that can only be called hyperpop.
@@pizzzaeater1425 ty. Learn something new everyday. I play drums and percussion so edm, while i respect the artists, its just not my style. Won't disparage it though . Dig the names though.
Everything Everything directly inspiring their name off of a Radiohead song kind of comes full circle, because Radiohead's name comes directly from a Talking Heads song
I literally found a band on spotify called How to Disappear Completely
@@hawtdawg877 This is not the same, cause if we're talking about the same band, HTDC got their name from a book of the same name
@@crazyf1r397 Wait, ur right
Didn't that lyric that radiohead take their name from come from chico buarque (another artist) also? It's a full full circle
@@hawtdawg877i fucking love that artist their ambient works used to be my go-to for sleeping and writing music
Ever heard of "Infant Annihilator"
memorable and you immediately get a good idea about their music. I like it
The circle jerks, the the, alexisonfire, the mighty mighty bosstones. To name a few.
Alexisonfire seems like it inspired youtube vloggers in 2012
When I saw the title my mind instantly went to Crywank. Like does it make sense with the music they make? Absolutely! Is it an awkward experience trying to recommend them to people? Absolutely!
It's a funny name tho
the best part is that i already recommend shit like Goreshit, Odaxelagnia (please listen to their mashcore its so good), and Femtanyl (trying to suggest her music to people in person is hell) so Crywank is to normal compared to that.
oh also Teen Suicide.
@@exist4046 FEMTANYL MENTION OMG (I’m a very big fan ^^ I’ll have to check out the other two!! Are they similar to Femtanyl’s music??)
The name Crywank is so indicative of the band that, if you react to it with disgust or scorn, you’ll probably hate the music.
For that reason it’s a great name. It’s a built-in litmus test.
@@somegnome3398 so real
Hating on King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard is like hating on Guitar Fight from Fooly Cooly long names are just fucking funny
I like the band but the word gizzard just makes me uncomfortable
kinda wanna start a band named broom closet now
lmaoo
can I join
I’ll play bass for it (I have never picked up an instrument)
Already exists :D Their song Dirty Rotten is solid.
The name "Car seat headrest" was inspired by the fact that Will Toledo would record the vocals for his songs in his car for the sake of privacy, a fact that is illuded to in the song "not just what I needed" off of the album "Teens of Denial"
You guys never heard of "Alien Sex Fiend"
No, that one is fire
7:14 he does not know the true horror of what limp bizkit actually means
Who's gonna tell him what a limp biscuit is? 👀
dont even wanna know
@@blustre It'd probably get filtered out by CZcams if someone commented it
@@blustre seconding that lmfao WHAT is that
"Bowling for Soup" Its not bad but it does make me ask why
Sometimes you see a song with a weird artists name, so you don't know what the song title is and what the band name
The entirety of the slam death metal genre, example: guttural slug, glossectomy. It’s just remotely gory sounding word salad
It gets better when you realize it's all a joke though. Albeit the "-ectomy" names have been ridden into the fucking ground at this point.
Barenakes Ladies still is a weird name
Great band, but hard to say you liked them when you were in middle school in the 90's 😂
Yeah my dad likes "BNL" and it makes it hard for him to talk about music with more conservative coworkers haha
There is a band called: _!!! (chk, chk, chk)_
You can probably guess why they aren't too popular.
The Beach Boys. With the change of genre from surf rock to baroque pop, this name lost its meaning
The Beach Boys is a fine name for a band, but yeah, it doesn't really fit a lot of the music they made lol
american football, queef jerky
queef jerky’s kinda iconic
Wait, it's not Americ Anfootball ??
queef jerky's name encouraged me to listen to them
@@J.PC.Designs it might be idk i dont listen to them
I like American Football. It’s in the tradition of Emo bands being named after sports; America Football, Modern Baseball, Turnover
Itchy Poopzkid. They renamed to just "Itchy" a while ago though.
broom closet would be a fire band name smh
think i know my new artist name
KING GIZZARD MENTIONED 💯💯💯💯💯
Murder of the universe was specifically mentioned and its so cool that hes also a fan of kglw’s objectively best album
I for one love Imagine Dragons and I will die on that hill. I listen to tons of other bands and genres but they were my first live concert and I'll love them forever for it
They were my second concert, I went to their Mercury tour in Atlanta for my 17th birthday.
"The ......" is kinda the same for rock as "Lil ......" is for Rap lmao just noticed
Thank you for introducing me to The Miners!
Limp Bizkit was a game in the 90’s. Guys would gather around a biscuit, whip it out and….the last guy to….had to EAT THE BISCUIT!!!! I heard rumors about the game, but have never known a guy who actually played it.
Criminal how "The Mentstrual Cramps" went unmentioned. Kind of camp tbh
Will Toledo came up with the name Car seat headrest literally just because he preferred to record music in his car then in his home studio. I love CHS, but the name is kinda goofy lol
imagine dragon deez..
nononononoooo
NUTSSSSSSSSSSS
ACROSS YOUR FACEEEEEEEEEEEE
right then, rate MY (potential) band names
1. The Boonedocks
2. The Professionals
3. Broom Closet
4. Carbon-14
5. Soldiers of the American Dream
6. Jerudice
10/10 If you don’t start actual bands with these names
I don’t know, I think #3 is pretty good
@@alexthemess1015 sounds like a 2020s green day album.
Why does “Carbon-14” actually go crazy
next song I release will be as Carbon-14
Theres a mid ambient artist called "h º r ¡ z º n щ ¡ r e l e s s"
Shocked no one mentioned red hot chili peppers (even tho that name is perfect)
I got an idea for band name content. Bands that people confuse for other bands. Forgive me if you already have one but some examples could be Candlebox/Collective Soul, Toadies/Toad the Wet Sprocket(bad band name). But Some are completely different with no matching words and multiple people still confuse the two. I find it intriguing like a Freudian slip or cryptomnesia
that is a really interesting idea. also toadies are great
@@squtnik Dire Straits/Steely Dan are 2 more band names that multiple people mix up.
Weezer and Wheatus get mixed up in people’s minds sometimes.
@@mgthestrange9098 yes definitely seen this one before lots of people thought teenage dirtbag was by weezer
@@mgthestrange9098 and Wheatus and Ween
ok but CZcams recommended is getting crazy good at this point ! New subscriber💫 airdropping good vibes✨
ayy welcome!
i love the band Psychedelic Porn Crumpets but god i hate telling people I listen to them
Nah same vibe as King Gizzard - most people I recommend them to find their name so absurd they can't help but be intrigued what they sound like
Plus my gf pisses off all the local boomers walking around in her Crumpets shirt and that's always a plus
@@konkey-dong oh thats awesome, gotta get one for myself
Toad the Wet Sprocket
One of the silliest band names ever
So glad this landed on my recommended. Great stuff and Everything Everything really is amazing!
I had a feeling Jockstrap was gonna show up lmao I actually didn't mind it til i looked up what it was. Recommend them to a girl i like, and she broke out laughing, but hey, at least she thought it was funny 😂
On bad band names “Semen Drenched Slave of The Devil” be like “hold my beer” haha
Four words: where is the the
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Chunk! No, Captain, Chunk! and Electric Callboy (It's better than their prior name) are my favourite bands with bad names.
Hoobastank started out as a ska band with a dumb ska name, but after they stopped being ska, they still kept the dumb ska name.
dude subbed last week lovin your stuff keep going! I been needing Nakeyjakey adjacent guys and here you are but for music!!
ayy i appreciate it! nakeyjakey’s great
@@blustre you are too keep faith not telling you what to do or be arrogant but I hope you have faith I know potential when I see it I think . A year from now I know imma see on homepages all the time :) keep it up and keep faith my man
Worst i've ever seen is probably Xavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffx
If only because i can't remember it. Also, that's the abbreviated name, albeit the one they use on music and streaming platforms. I will not repeat the the full, unabreviated version here.
babe wake up blustre posted
:O
the front bottoms is a pretty bad bandname, love them tho
Blustre I said "Queef Jerky" and you didn't address it?!
i must’ve not seen it 😔 i def would’ve
@@blustre 😔 next time
You earned yourself a new subscriber, buddy ❤
My first girlfriend who was physically abusive took me to a metal concert against my will with a guy who i suspect she may have been cheating on me with; one of the opening acts was called "Kissy Face Fashion Faux Pas", and to this day that name is forever annoyingly etched into my mind. /traumadump
ninja sex party is what i usually answer with for what my favorite band is but i can’t answer truthfully when a little kid asks me that question
based murder of the universe enjoyer
😎
loved the acapella cover of everything in its right place
5:09 The strokes probably refers to guitar strokes
when you were going on about "The" in front of a band name, that reminded me of my vote for worst: The The - best known now for the song "This is the Day".
"and then the imagery of a limp biscuit, like i'm imagining an uncooked biscuit in your hand all moist and limp" if only you knew how bad things really are.
Can we all just admit that my old band had the greatest name - Caution: PANTS! - it can't be beat.
0:30- there’s a band my mom liked called Wet Leg lmfaoo
they sound pretty good too
Betty Is Not A Vitamin is the go to whenever I think of bad band names.
Car Seat Headrest is called that because the first albums were made in Will Toledo's car
The new Pornographers
They made kids shirts where their name was replaced with "The News Photographers" which was kind of adorable though
That opening scenario was me explaining liking STRFKR (formerly Starfucker) to my mom
What about “The Foreskins”? They were a “British punk” band in the sixties and seventies that were notably “skin heads” also there were four of them so it made the name perfect.
Teen Suicide’s name makes a lotta sense for their music subject matter and vibes, but i was genuinely confused when i first started listening to them about if it was really the band name or not, lmao.
You should do another video about the best band names. I’ve always loved the name Falling in Reverse
one time someone asked me if i liked car seat headrest and i didn't know it was a band and was like "idk sometimes they're at like a weird height but I guess they're fine?"
You say "The" names are boring but praise THE black eyed peas? Which is it blustre?? Is THE out or in????
oh god you caught me
They only had "The" in their name for 4 albums
this reminds me of the people that put "the" before every band name. namely "the deftones" etc.
@@squtnikmost common one I can think of for this is arctic monkeys. So many people put the before when there isn't one. There is another but I can't think of it off the top of my head
Here’s a 60s British band name: Dave Dee Beaky Dozy mick and Titch. It’s genuinely one of my favourite band names but it’s mad. I actually think Lightbulb is a great name for a band, there’s a band called First Aid kit already.
My least favourite by FAR is "The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die." Like, i shouldn't have to write an essay just to tell someone what im listening to
i dont know how but they found me is a sick band name but it’s annoying as hell to tell people that’s your fav band
“what did you say they were called?”
“what was that?”
“can you repeat that?”
I’m gonna cry why is it so long
can't believe the front bottoms weren't mentioned
The funny thing about limp bizkit is how they intentionally chose the name to be horrible. There were other names in contention for it too, like Blood Fart.
The worst band names are ones that are very hard to Google. The Music, A, The The and The Band
I have a question, why is there no new bands that are popular nowadays anymore?
Ever heard of cheese excursion?
the lore behind 10cc’s name is an odd choice
My friend started a band called "Gas station b***r pills" and after a month or so they changed it to SlapHammer.
you saved yourself by not looking up limp bizkit’s name origin
idk, I think Blustre sounds like oh he blustered in the wind
Here in Italy we have the Nuclear Tactical Penguins (Pinguini Tattici Nucleari) and I honestly don't know how to feel about this
"The Nonce" it might have meant something different but it's not very good
Tell me CZcams isn't censoring the "stank" in Hoobastank's name as per the thumbnail. *WHY?*
The Front Bottoms. I love their music and it was so awkward recommending them to my dad
No mention of Bitings Elbows?
Gaffa Tape Sandy is a bit weird but they're fire
"The bare naked ladies" I used to listen to quite a bit of them and I always hated recommending them
No this is Patrick
Yes this is a real band
I thought you were Brianna
