Yes it is my website but I am not doing this to generate traffic to my website, which gets plenty of traffic as is.
I just want the opinions of the SDMB members. Let’s face it, aren’t we the Message Board with the keenest intellect, the most discerning judgment and the sharpest sense of humor?
Yes, there have been about a zillion band name threads at the SDMB and each of those threads have about a zillion cites to weird band names, band name generators, etc.
Still, feeling that the band name topic has not been sufficiently done to death, I saw a need and decided to fill it.
I just want to know what the Internet cognescenti (i.e. Dopers) thought of this.
Oh, and if the generator displays a name that you find particularly humorous (for example Bitter Casket Brigade), feel free to post it.
Thanks.
Even Dave Barry himself, I believe, thinks that the whole “band name” joke thing is pretty stale. During the 90s, the heyday of Barry’s writing, the joke of band names made up of random words was much funnier since it was mocking the pop culture of the time. However, more conventional-sounding band names are now back into vogue with indie rock - particularly names beginning with “the,” which would have been seen as quite prosaic during the 90s but have now made a resurgence.
The White Stripes. The Black Keys. The Decemberists. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The Thrills. The Killers. The Strokes. Indie rock is bringing “the” band names back into style.
“Third Eye Blind” and “Vertical Horizon” and “Pearl Jam” and “Better Than Ezra” and the whole phenomenon of random words for band names is very 90s.
That thing is smart as hell. My first one is The Boston Sex Dancers. Holy crap! I live in the Boston area and I like sex and sometimes it can resemble dancing. I am so calling up some backup performers.
