Come Up With The Most Boring Band Name Possible

Saw an ad a while back for a local band (UK) called Screamin' Miss Jackson & The Slap Ya Mama Big Band. And you already know what they are going to sound like

polka?

Close. Polkacore iirc.

just posh demi-hipsters demi-hipstering

tbh this reminds me that I've always struggled to come up with an apt comparison to "Car Seat Headrest". It's such a perfectly maximized trio of mundane, arbitrary and clunky. The perfect worst band name ever. Like naming your band Bottom Left Cabinet Hinge or something else from a random page of a product manual.

Lol otm

thing is, there's an implicit level of peril in Car Seat Headrest. It immediately makes me think of violent traffic accidents

Paper Clip Shortage

The Dialtones

thingy and the thing things
thing thing
blank sheet of xerox paper

Honest question- wouldn't the same go for any car part then? Something like Emergency Brake would have more of that dramatic connotation for me.

xp The Cars is a cool band name. not boring.

Thingy is not bad either.

The Power Chords

in context the most boring band names are usually the ones when some buzz band has a word or phrasing in their name that is also used in 4-8 other buzzy bands from the same era.

Like all the bands in the 2010s with three words in their name and the second is The.

Vivisect the Postman

xxp indeed, like this

The 2020s will be the era of 'the' as the third word. I think we're ready.

You're more likely to smack your face into the back of the headrest in an accident but I get what you mean. it's a really shit name

Bands who have the name of the genre in their name often suck. You play dub, we get it

The IDMsmiths

Integral Features for Unlimited Design Options and Performance Improvements

No Op

Subject Matter

The one-upmanship among ska bands of who can come up with the most embarrassing or ridiculous "ska" pun name is at least as entertaining as the music imo.

A lot of the best boring names already claimed by Brits in particular (James, The Dentists come to mind) but LOL @ "Subject Matter"

A friend of mine suggested this:

Band name: Adjective Noun

Their first album is called Promising Debut.

Their second album is called Disappointing Followup.
