Ok heres the competition, there is no prize other than my amusement because i am a cheap cheap man. Who can come up with the most generic emo band name. I'm not looking for anything too blatant, "the whiny kids" for exaple isn't a winner. It has to strike a chord, combining the melancholy and dramatic elements of a truly great emo/emocore band name with the appropriate level of crude humour.
I'll start us off with, "jimmy felched the headmaster"
-
Ok, my idea for a band is called ' http://forums.questionablecontent.net/viewtopic.php?t=6913 '
-
lol wow, forgive me i'm new, i had the feeling this would have been done before but i'm just too damn lazy to check around. If anyone wants to join in my thread your welcome but i totally don't expect ppl to if they're tired of this humour already
-
Actually, how about Tetsuo The Iron Boy? :P
-
We Found Winter on the Porch's Steps.
*shrugs* All the emo band names I've hear are some random combination of words that sounds kinda sad. From Autumn to Ashes anyone?
-
"The Sadness" is still unused, as far as I know. Think I might copyright that one, some suckers are bound to use it for their emo band.
-
Inferno on the Ranch of Blissful Irony
-
I'm sure the band name "This Noob Thinks He's Hot Shit, but Really, He's Not" is already taken. Pity, 'cause I could have won this thing hands down.
-
That sounds more like a Modest Mouse album.
-
How about something like "Mommy, why does god hate me?"
or... "My Dripping, Overwhelming Angst"
or... "Avenging Bloody Butterflies"... all emo kids seem to be obsessed with butterflies... it's... creepy
-
"December".
Win.
-
I... but... yer...
You beat me to it with the months. I was gonna go with September, but whatevs.
I can cope, and retaliate with a "Silence In The Woods Of Suicide".
-
"Rememberance of Her"
-
Wots all this about dicks then, ey?

hello 'SP2', in what was my first post on this website, rather than sticking to topic or correcting me and pointing me towards the original (and admittedly superior) version of my post that someone else put up you chose instead to accuse me of thinking i am 'hot shit'. I assure you i don't, i was having a little fun at the expense of emo kids, puerile fun but fun nevertheless. If you are a fan of emo i apologise if i offended you, everyone is entitled to their opinion on what makes good music and if you knew me at all you'd know that i'm as willing as anyone to have fun poked at my album collection. As a gesture of good faith from a 'noob' at this whole messageboard thang here are a selection of albums i think you will find amusing, abuse away
Megadeth, Peace Sells But Who's Buying?
Queen, The Flash Gordon Soundtrack
Wu-Tang Clan, Legends Of The Wu-Tang
Nine Inch Nails, Pretty Hate Machine
and yes, i own slipknots self titled major label debut :)
i'm not hot shit, i'm a good sport, please rather than mocking me, have fun instead
-
"December".
Win.
I'd like to debate that "November" is a sadder month then "December", and therefore more fit for an emo band.
November is dead autumn, the last leaves are falling, it's constantly raining... December is a close second though, were it not for the fact that it yields the early promise of spring life.
-
Emo is emo. I don't really care either way.
It is the WAY you posted this thread that annoyed me. The way you basically said "Do this to amuse me" reeks of pretention, and frankly, you're not particularly clever, either.
And really, Slipknot? You're joking, right? I don't care if their first album is stomachable, it's not something to brag about. Really seriously.

For the record, November Rain was a shitty song.
-
for the love of god man do you have to take everything so seriously? i wasn't bragging about owning the damn slipknot record! I'm just not ashamed of my taste. I understand that other people perceive music differently to me, people enjoy and are stimulated by various aspects of a song are album. Some see music as pure entertainment, something to intellectualise, an aggressive release or just a damn good beat to shake yer ass to. Slipknot aren't my cup of tea these days but a few years ago i thoroughly enjoyed listening to that album. A part of me wants to insult you in some way but i don't really think thats the most productive thing that could happen here. If the way i posted this message offended you then to be honest thats not my fault, its yours for reading so much into it. I'm willing to end this now and leave you to your opinions, if you post something i disagree with, i'll either not respond or respond in a polite and well-mannered way, can you agree to do the same?
-

That sounds more like a Modest Mouse album.
I'm not sure, it sounds more like a McLusky lyric or song to me.
Man, "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" would be a great "screemo" band name.
-
A) Slipknot is shit.
B) You're still a pretentious twat.
C) Most of the other bands you were talking about are ALSO shit.
D) Even the shittiest emo band is no more whiney than Nine Inch Nails, especially Pretty Hate Machine. So, you're a hypocrite. You know, unless you're insulting the musical quality, in which case I can't for the life of me figure out why you're listening to Slipknot, Megadeth, and Wu-Tang Clan.
E) What you said annoyed me, not offended me. Just like a mosquito buzzing in my ear annoys me but doesn't offend me.
F)I'm just not ashamed of my taste.
Yes, but you probably should be.
-
Man, "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" would be a great "screemo" band name.
Better yet is "Every Thorn Has Its Rose."
-
You're not listening to reason. You are just being rude. This is my last post on the subject. Goodbye.
-
That is better. Too bad I actually got that stuck in my head now.
-
This is my last post on the subject. Goodbye.
I win!
-
That is better. Too bad I actually got that stuck in my head now.
I know. I have a really great name for a punk band that I can't get out of my head right now, and I'm currently in the process of getting a band together, so the urge is to push for using that name. I'm trying to make sure there's no other band out there with the same name, first, though.
No, I'm not going to share it with you all.
-
Another noob is really offended by one of sp2's normal comments. That's like, six in the past 2 hours.
-
When will they learn?
If you don't like it, ignore it!
-
I am reading your mind and stealing it. I am a filthy ESPer. The band name you're thinking of is the "Fraggle Cocks."
-
If you don't like it, ignore it!
'
The problem is that the noob is having an emo moment. He has to CUT HIS WRISTS AND BLACK HIS EYES SO HE CAN FALL ASLEEP TONIGHT OR DIE.
The irony is astounding.
He'll be back though.
And no, I'm not thinking of "Fraggle Cocks." That sounds like it'd be a bunch of muppet covers of Revolting Cocks songs. Muppet-dustrial for the LOSE.
-
Not the Muppets, the Muppet BABIES. The muppets are too cool for that shit.
-
You make a good point.
-
I tried to come up with the most awful thing off the top of my head when I thought of that.
-
Painful Mustard
I win!
P.S There already an emo band called The Early November
Idiots

How are we idiots? Don't be so hostile, cock.

OH! or "Fall from grace"?
Probabaly taken.
-
I got in on this late, but abusing the newbs (note: not n00bs, theres difference) is wrong. We want the newbs to befriend us so we can all skip in flowery meadows together. To extend my olive branch: I have Slipknot too. I bought Iowa, but I don't care for it. I still listen to Wait and Bleed, Surfacing, and Vermillion pt 2 from time to time. Furthermore, I used to be a big fan of Slipknot and Limp Bizkit. Oh shit, i see the flames coming already! The flameposts will consume me! Consume!
To keep this on topic-ish, The Bleak Dawn of Mid-November. It combines the saddest moth of the year, with some more saddening words of angst. Emo angst of angstiness.
-
kissmet
I feel like I'm going to be laughed at for this, but Kissmet could work as a band name.
-
I have an idea:
Three Word Name; it really only works for metalcore but that's just emo with distortion...
-
The Adjective Pluralized-Nouns
actually, that's pop-alternative.
-
The Sorry Camps?
The Barren Latvians?
The Hopeful Friars?
The Magical Hags?
The Secular Pussy-farts?
Ok, I've had my fun. It's like a mad lib, but not really as crazy.

It's taken, and sad enough for me, by a Belgian metal band.

I'm guessing they suck.
For the win: My Everdying November Love.

'Sadness is the Key That Frees Our Tears From Eye-Jail'
Yes, I'm nicking it from The Horn-Rim Jobs* song 'Alices Livejournal', but it's fucking brilliant.
*Best 'emo' band ever. Period. They have the PAIN! and the VISION!
-
Growly metal-type metal
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ARGROARRRRRRR!"
-
What about "Reason for fear" or "Two pills are not enough"
-
Sidekick to Saturday.
Not the most "wacky" name, but I had to explain to my (less socially aware) buddies yesterday why that was possibly the worst name they could come up with for their band and thoroughly dissuade them from using it.

My band name would be Bitchpants.

I actually know a guy who called his band "These Autumn Years"
-
Did you attack him with a barge pole?
-
No, but I sack-tapped him. Does that count?
-
It sure does!
-
Hell in Your Eyes - Screamo.
Crows in the Willow - Emo.
And judging by the earlier discussion, I hope no one silently(or loudly) judges me for currently listening to something as nu-metal as the Queen of the Damned soundtrack. Angst is good for the soul.

An Open-Faced Club Sandwich of Despair
For some reason I'm laughing my ass off at that one...
Actually, this whole fuckin thread is hilarious.
One of my friends and I came up with the name "Weiner tears of shame" and had our first three album names. I remember one was "Bulges and Eyeliner." Bulges because way too many emo kids wear odd-fitting jeans and teh zippers always fold up and look like a bulge int eh crotch...and eyeliner is self-explanitory. Coming up with this shit sends us into uncontrollable fits of laughing.
Names I've thought of:
Dank Doomy Depths
The Bamboozled (I think I was drunk when I wrote that one down)
Unfettered Darkness
...and other titles that make NO sense when I'm sober...
-
Another Hobo Teenage Wet Dream(shortened to AHTWD of course since that makes the name more awesome...for some reason.)
-
I named my friends band Swimming In September. There is also broken hearts and new addictions.

Dude. Awesome.
-
The Painless Agony. Everyone would think of their music as agonizing pain, though. But that will only fuel their emo-ness to write more songs, which creates a never ending cycle of pain and horrible music.

Hey isn't that off-topic? We weren't asked to describe hell! :P

Tears like an Ocean of Stars
-
aw man, I was actually in a band once called 'This Years Broken Heart'. And we broke up, well basically I kinda grew out of emo and left...and then we re-formed with plans to make music that wasnt pretentious or classifiable, but then the others decided we should be called 'Friday Night Victims' and we just started playing a load of Taking Back Sunday covers. Dear lord.
I'm in a band now called India April. Not so much emo, more kinda indie. I feel so dirty...

...but Christmas is in winter, which is cold and dark like my soul. Plus, it's the best time of year to be miserable, because then you can resent everyone else for being happy.

Yes, I know I'm technically still new and shouldn't be posting here yet, but I just HAD to reply to this thread.
A friend of mine has been in 2 bands so far with two of the most emo names I could ever imagine.
First band: "Aorta Off", referring to shutting off the aorta.. and then your heart stops beating. Or something. I'm not sure what he was getting at.
Second band: "Only Ashes Remain". They did not last long. I don't think it is nessesary to explain why.
