Don JeLorean I think the goal of this thread has become to make up the bad names before the artist do.

Motion Sickness Of Time Travel, there's an artist i never want to have to talk about.

so do you have a problem with LFO? you ask anybody on the street what an LFO is and they think it's a defunct boy band or they don't know. totally obscure enough. approved.

And I just mean bad names in general. Zomby, wtf. I mean at least act like you sort of care what people call you. You're good, but you're not good enough to pull off that naptime of a name. And Cut Copy. Jesus, fuck you. yeah we get it, you were looking at your edit dropdown. Kill yourself.

Far as artist using their real names, I'm generally against it unless the artist is lucky enough to have a double letter in their name somewhere (and i mean in a tasteful positioning too), in which case I'm totally fine w/ it. Ulrich Schnauss: have all of his records.

I can't believe nobody loled at this. I mean we all know Enter has the worst name ever but still, LOL! Just fuckin w/ you dude.

To be fair, afaik they were the first, but it still doesn't make it that good of an artist name, hehehe.

way to make me feel even worse about myself. fuck. lolol. Eh if you think it's a bad artist name then change it to something you like. It's not like all of our favorites aren't known by like 12 names. God also has many names. To have many names is to be godlike.

Furthermore, to give yourself a bad artist name (unbeknownst to you), is to say something about your sensibility and artistic judgement. At least as far as words go.

Well seeing as I didn't get to pick my real name, if i were to do music I'd probably release under a name of my choosing. If i were to direct a film though I'd used my real name. It's sort of this, 'when in Rome' kind of thing. it's just what you do in a particular art, and I don't have a problem w/ that. In some cases I would have a prob going w/ the flow but in this one, I just agree w/ it. I feel privileged enough that someone (my parents) saw enough special value in me to give me a name, so that's good enough for real life, but music is not real life.

llo.

I'm not naming names but you know who I'm talking about. Artists that parody famous people's names by switching some letters around. Only one that ever had some working value I thought was Bit Meddler. At least that had some creative meaning. Outside of that trend there are just some that are plain bad.

You rich motherfucker. I cant afford it Maybe i was, once.
