Need a good pseudonym for my music


Recommended Posts

So I made this username back when I was like 13, and I thought it was cool. For simplicity's sake I just used the same handle for just about every login/online service I ever used. I'm 20 now, and this tag fits me like a pair of toddler's shorts. Sneaksta appropriately said:

Quite agreeable. I knew a while ago that it was going to have to change, especially before I put up a myspace with some tracks.

 

How do you guys come up with your artist name? I would use my first and last name but Westenberger is rediculous as hell also. I know this is sort of like that thread asking how you name your tracks but I am stumped. I dont want to do something that sounds lame because its trying to sound too cool, but I can't really get anywhere.

my old idm pseudonym modex came from the Mode X video mode

 

rooftop access (my post-rock band) came from wandering around on level 6 in the westfield shopping centre in bondi junction, nsw, looking down on the rooftops of other stores and thinking to myself 'i wish i had rooftop access'.

 

as for pselodux, i can't remember how i made that up. i think i might have come up with it trying to invent a name that sounded like a vacuum cleaner brand.

 

oh and archie martin vox (my metal/noise project) came from a now non-existant electrical/whitegoods department store chain.

i think your handle is cool. its kind of fantasy and fantasy is in. you'll think its funny. in a few years anyway.

 

if you need a replacement, just think

 

 

 

of the first thing that comes to mind and

 

 

 

 

 

allow that thought to terminate in language.

 

 

 

 

 

your music and humor, if true, will MAKE any name.

 

otherwise i suggest Mr. Skribble Kibble
