worst band name or record label name change of the social justice & social media era

I've never heard of any controversy about Go4's name

“something something American imperialism something something the struggle”

i once chatted with a member of the soft pack/muslims where he was on some bullshit like that, complaining about "having" to change the name because no one understood the complex multivalent political/religious/historical commentary they were making maaan, iirc the holocaust was somehow involved even? it was truly moronic and embarrassing

most artists are dumb

MC Hamas is probably thinking twice right now

same with Vanilla ISIS

BBQ, I don't follow but when the SDP party formed in the UK, the originators were called "The Gang Of Four". That's what I was referring to.

"Gang of (Number)" is also a common name for a group of legislators from different parties collaborating on a bill

Also, Gang of Four was an explicitly political band

Mick Lynch spotted at a recent Gang of Four gig, so that all checks out

Gang Of Four definitely took the name from the Maoist political faction but I can't see why that would casue any offence.

some people are really really offended by communism

Wait till they hear my band Gay Chuevara

And chucking teachers out of windows.

there was another, Florida-based band named Slaves who changed their name to Rain City Drive in 2021
