Ok, this game has incredibly simple rules. A person posts the name of a fictional band or song that has a stereotypical enough ring to it that it can be classified as a given (or several given) type(s) of music. The next person to post makes up what genre the band or song would be, then they post a made up band or song name. And for wang's sake, be creative.
Song: "Bitchslapped In Bethlahem"
-
Melancholycore

Ska
Band: This Infernal Machine
-
Techno-Speed-Metal... and all their songs are from the perspective of a mad scientist named Dr. Pea H. Dee. The guitar player is named Jekyll. And the drummer is named Robotron 304. The bass player, who is nameless, sort of just hovers and lurks at the back of the stage at their live shows and occasionally throws a flask full of chloric acid into the audience.
@Awkward Silence: Soulpunk

Ironic Classic Metal: think Tenacious D but More so.

The Sanitary Rifle.
-
Indie-hardcore with a slight obsession for cleanliness.

A mixture of post-hardcore and technical metal known as 'sciencecore'. Guitars are tuned to the pitches of distant pulsars, and all lyrics are rigorously forced to obey the third law of thermodynamics.

Band: Eht Elbuort Dnab
-
They Might Be Giants knockoff. They put satanic messages in their songs backwards. Like "Eat your vegetables" and "put your parents in a classy nursing home."
Song: Wheat, Barley, and Rye (Hey!)
-
A baroque-style slow indy song that picks up about 1/3 of the way through to become an upbeat Irish dance peice. All the lyrics are about the process of making a loaf of bread, from the harvest to the mulching of grains to the manufacturing to a happy old Irish woman picking up the loaf of bread at her favorite local bakery.
Band: Chub-Nub-Jaajo and the Sub-Arachnoid Princes Of The Dark Elves' Lands
-
Tribal fantasy metal. Three frontmen, and they all speak nothing but Swahili, but they sing all their lyrics in Elvish. The rest of the band grew up together in Cleveland. The band itself claims its main influences to be Opeth, Dungeons and Dragons Edition 2, and anime, which they claim is a "very deep and important medium to express deep ideas and philosophies about deep things like dragons and mechas and stuff." The three frontmen don't have any comment but they do have cool-ass spears. Apparently their first album is a concept-driven album about betrayal at the hands of D&D Ed. 3.
Band: Horn Section and Shit
-
Song: Plus-two Sword
-
EDIT: @sp2: a band that plays old Yes and Genesis songs entirely with a horn section and nothing else.
Nerdy kids who write songs about crank calls and space ghost references between dnd sessions and games of Magic: The Gathering
Band: If I only lived in Seattle...

-
Song: all dick nixons are presidents, but not all presidents are dick nixon

Song: Hoe-up
-
Amish hip-hop.
Band: The Trashed Hotels
-
Angry hardcore by former managers of hotels frequently visited by reckless hardrock stars. Never took off their manager suits. Their debut "Revenge Of The Trashed Hotels" with indie hit "Our Turn" was so successful they could afford to trash hardrock stars' houses just for fun. Ozzy never noticed any of it.
Band: Leprechaun Milkwave.
-
Celtic Cooking Rock. They've become infamous for their stage show in which line-dancers ceilidh whilst flipping pancakes.
Song: Avast thar! Penguins off the Port Bow!

Geriatriskacore.
Band: Reinhold Messner's Frostbitten Toes
-
Band: Reinhold Messner's Frostbitten Toes
Elastic Band orchestra accompanied by ethnic wind instruments, but played in a blue-grass style. Folky, Etherial, but utterly ridiculous.
Song: Blackened sugar to go with my snow white coffee. <--this is mine! copyright etc!
-
"Blackened sugar to go with my snow white coffee." is Dece,berists style indie-pop song about baristas who are annoted with their dyslexic customers who cannot order correctly.
Band: This Way No That Way
-
Experimental Post Hardcore
Free Love is Too Expensive
-
Since it sounds like a song, I think it would be a highly depressing blues song featuring just singing and harmonica that's all mournful and shit. All about love and loss etc.
Band: The Last of the Land
-
Evangelical rock opera!
with songs like 'We built this church on the bones of the sinners!' and 'blood is the mortar for the stones of this sanctuary!' ...and every song title would be a full sentence that ends in an exclamation mark, cause that's just what you do.
BAND:
"Christmas? More like Bitchmas! Am I right?"
-
A farce-y speed metal band that consists of four guitarists and a drummer who record really bloody fast versions of christmas carols and then play them backwards and rap about how much they hate the holiday season over it. They are most famous for "Jingle My Bells, I'm Full Of Eggnog" and "Jesus Was Actually Born In August, So That's When I'll Pretend To Give Two Tugs Of A Dead Dog's Cock About The Spirit Of Giving".
Band: The Eye In God's Mote
-
*EDIT* Dammit! Someone beat me to it, one second!
A spoken word band where every song is basically that drum "buh dum Ch" noise repeated while they yell cheesy lines from comedy routines.
*buh dum ch buh dum ch buh dum ch buh dum ch*...
HOW ABOUT AIRLINE FOOD? WHAT IS UP WITH THAT STUFF
*Buh dum ch*
End track.
The Eye in God's Mote:
a group of four ex-mormons who formed an expiramental thrash goth metal band, and write songs about how much Jehovah's Witnesses suck and how Canadians are going to hell. Because I said so.
Band: The battlewounds of Forznath's great full scale empire Meet the Supremes!
-
Aretha Franklin's side-project from BEYOND THE GRAAAAVE with Horgh and Satyr. Forgotten in two weeks.
Band: Teh LOLS
-
Horrible pop-punk with lyrics that make as much sense as a toaster singing soprano.
Song: Wang-fu for you!
-
A soong by a Japa-Ska band called Hep Hep Tycho Ska Gabe Pickitup that uses only lines from Penny Arcade as their lyrics, with the occasional Ctrl+Alt+Del bonus track. Horrible english makes them a great gimmick to play for friends and family too.
Band: The Existence of Proof is Proof of Existence
*EDIT* PS. The Eye in God's Mote was a play on words with The Mote In God's Eye which is a kickass scifi book. Nobody played off of it. I am literature-ly hurt.
-
*EDIT* PS. The Eye in God's Mote was a play on words with The Mote In God's Eye which is a kickass scifi book. Nobody played off of it. I am literature-ly hurt.
Read it. Less kickass than you portray though. Now Dhalgren, now that's an awesome sci-fi book.
Regardless, the title of that book was taken from a bible passage.
Anyways, Existence of Proof is a Dutch post-mathcore band that writes hectic songs about love, society, and scientific theory. Their one song, "Darwin's Beard (Turns Me On, Turns Me On)" is pretty classic.
Song: "Take Two Aspirations and Call Me In The Morning"
-
I liked the book plenty. Man.
-
Niven and Pournelle both write dull prose. Put them together and their prose is even duller. Good plot, for sure. But the prose sucks.
-
Ok, but they wrote "Legacy of Heorot" and in my opinion that's a kickass book all around.
Back to music, Take Two Aspirations And Call Me In The Morning is yet again, melancholycore, but The Antagonizers put a twist on it: Every song is a terribly deppressing song set over incredibly happy music.
Band: The Day The Pokemon Learned To Dance
-
Adam Sandler's cult following band
FUCK YOU PIKACHU LOLZ!
Band: The Premium Chicken Sandwhiches
-
after a recent study discovered that eating Fried Chicken caused cancer and herpes at the same time, KFC and Popeyes go backrupt. Colonel Sanders and Popeye then team up to reclaim their fortunes by rocking out.
SONG: Joda Tu Yoda
-
Yoda does Yoga WHILE PERFORMING YO LA TENGO COVERS!!!
Song: Pennywhisles and Moonpies
-
the band is the lovechild of deerhoof and Megadeth . they sing mostly about bubblegum subjects like, well, pennywhistles and moonpies, but in a really terrible Hair Metal style, having taken Megadeth's ironic appeal (what else do they have?) and Deerhoof's massive irony tunnel and smashed them together in a writhing ball of irony so dense, not even sarcasm can escape.
-
Because the silly heretic man didn't post a band/song:
Band: The Best Possible Situation At The Worst Possible Time
-
An indiemo band from the town of Humptulip, this band thrives on ironic, snarky and extremely depressing lyrics and concepts. Their debut album, "Flowers Are Just Pretty Weeds", topped charts in the first week. It was released!
Song: "Do Not Walk Behind Me, For I May Not Lead; Do Not Walk In Front Of Me For I May Not Follow; Do Not Walk Beside Me, Just Leave Me The Hell Alone"
-
by Hades Heart; thrash-core, lots of trebely distortion and screaming, along with very dramatic spoken word verses about pain, anguish, and Greek mythology
Band: Foetal Impact
-
A death metal band whose entire stage show consists of gigantic TV screens showing crash test foetuses and tossing fake foetuses made of candy into the audience.
Band: Sigmund Freud and the Repressions
-
A Dust Brothers project that involves remixing noises made by lions and things said by those two marvelous lion taming... things. Also includes lots of re-dubbed horn lines and chainsaw noises, because that's just what the Dust Brothers do...
Band: Frank Furt And The Phenomenal Fornicating Phoenix
-
Cabaret-rock. Basically, these guys watch waaaaaay too much Rocky Horror. Half their songs are covers from the soundtrack, even.
Although, their cover of time warp was pretty damned half-decent.
Band: Stop, Yield, No Outlet
-
Spaz/math-rockers from southern Nevada. Their live show involves them performing behind a bunch of that police "CAUTION" tape, then driving a stolen Nevada Highway Patrol bike through it and out the venue doors at the end.
Song: "Clarence, We Hardly Knew Ye"
-
Heavy metal. The last word is "ye," because when performed, the word is "you" but the singer vomits in the middle of the word, diminishing it to "ye"
Band: We Can't Sing But You Have A Small Penis
-
Phallic-core. What else?
Band: Phobos Diptrickle Bumrush
-
"mathcore"
Band: Cornelius is Dead
-
80's electro-pop rock revival. Like, we're talking about the BAD 80s pop rock. The REALLY bad 80s pop rock you see on soundtracks to bad 80s movies where the girls wear spandex, snap bracelets, and have bad perms.
Song: Dead Hobo in a Bottle
-
The band, Three Boxcar Heartache, is emotional hobocore. Nothing more needs to be said.
Band: Word Herd
-
Word Herd is Beatpunk. Instead of reciting beat poetry to jazz and/or drums, they recite it over spastic punk/post-punk riffs. Comparisons to various post-punk or post-hardcore acts abounds, but the closest is probably Alan Ginsberg fronting Les Savy Fav.
Band: Male Hors d'Oeuvre Bride
-
Swedish comunistic pop-punk band. Two gitarrists, one drummer and one singer (who sounds JUST like the guy in Placebo). They use poetic metafroes to critisize capitalism. They are all under 21.
Depth of Drumms
-
"Depth Of Drumms" is a song by a man called The Hamat'ka Swaami Ishama (he's white, but he sure as hell won't just admit it). It's, as you'd expect, just a bunch of hand drums and him chanting "HARI KRISHNA" and whatnot over it.
Fucking New-age religion.
Song: Our Land Is Crimson, Our Moon Shines Like Iron
-
The Slitwrists are known for their particular brand of emogressive rock. They are a response to the claim that most prog rock isn't about anything but is instead soulless and mechanical. The Slitwrists, with songs such as "our land is crimson, our moon shines like iron," "these shackles leave razorblade scars" and "postponed funeral" have gone to the other extreme, and have infused their progressive rock with the extreme angst that pours from their souls like the blood pours from their veins. Unfortunately, they found that they really have no fanbase, as there isn't anyone who likes both tedious progressive rock and whiney emo.
Song: Styrofoam and cardboard
-

SOMEONE hasn't seen Coheed & Cambria's sales figures.
"Styrofoam and Cardboard" is, of course, by freak-folk act Twine Diddlers. It's stream-of-consciousness poetry from the perspective of a landfill. The whole thing's about the decay of the modern city, set against a backdrop of dulcimer and gently strummed acoustic guitar.
Song: "Above, Below, Between"
-
Quartet from new york consisting of two girls on acoustic guitars, a blind guy on drums and a keyboard player.
Play extremely morose post-rock that they think is ironic but everyone else thinks revolves around cliches and name dropping.
Likely to fall apart after the third album "robots deep" due to solo careers. In marketing.
Band; Here you go
