Fun Stuff > BAND
Do you ever judge bands on their name?
Metope:
Everyone at my school have gotten completely hung up on this guy called Connan Mockasin. First I thought it was an ironical thing because why is his name a shoe, but they legitimately love this guy. It. Is. So. Bad. Here's what he looks like:
His music is really terrible and whiny psychedelic stuff with 'quirky' videos. I'm probably venturing way into judgemental territory here, but he totally seems like the kind of person who 'found himself' through some ancient asian philosophy and started fetishising it and now has an overwhelming urge to prove his deepness to the world. He probably cries after sex.
Aimless:
I def. judge bands by their names, in the sense that I tend to automatically reject many bands whose names make me think they only produce same-y unmelodic whiny hipster music. I realize this may be a stupid prejudice :o

Imagine Dragons are garbage and I am so very miffed that somebody managed to talk the bartenders into putting their drivel onto a CD in the jukebox at the bar I work at. But I enjoyed Alt J and Tame Impala both when I saw them at Coachella.
I judge bands by their name all the time, that's why people go out of their way to come up with a band name that represents who they are. As a musician who has helped name bands, songs, and albums, almost every time, the above are chosen intentionally.
Bands I hate with bad band names: Smith Westerns, Vampire Weekend, every bad metal band ever (some good ones have awful names too)
Method of Madness:
I don't see why people hate the name "Imagine Dragons" because imagining dragons is always a good idea.
Metope:
Watch out for A Great Big Pile of Leaves! Blander than mashed potatoes, here's yet another indie band with no substance and lots of cliched repetitive 'chill' feels, they're guaranteed to set the mood for the year's most annoying borefest. In their own words: ““That sounds cool!” is our guiding phrase when composing. If it sounds intense or heady or combative, we usually drop the part,” , they actively avoid doing anything that seems hard or challenging, because who needs to engage their poor little airheads anyway?
