had i not dreamed of joining a paramilitary organization run by jodie foster since i was a tot, i certainly might have paused and considered the rudeness -given the events of that time- of a certain early 80's skate rat combo's choice of band name.

scott seward, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 14:24 (thirteen years ago)

actually, the trolliest band name i've ever heard comes from a friend of mine who formed a black metal band around the time of the somewhat famous Steven Avery murder here that he called "Avery's Boneyard", distributing CD-Rs outside the courthouse during the trial. The CD case even had a map to the location of where the victim was supposedly buried.

i will say that i'm REALLY glad i don't have to tell my mom that my band is called AIDS Wolf.

Hongroe (Geir Hongro), Thursday, 16 June 2011 09:09 (thirteen years ago)

Anyway, there was a Norwegian band named Dead Gerhardsens which was of course influenced by that. Dunno if they were named after Einar Gerhardsen, a Norwegian prime minister from the 40s/50s/60s, or Rune Gerhardsen, his son who used to be the "mayor" (actually city council leader) of Oslo from 1991 until 1995.

Most of these feel comfortably within the realm of acceptably offensive but the Anne Frank one is kinda O_O

Matt DC, Thursday, 16 June 2011 11:32 (thirteen years ago)

Does It Offend You Yeah is offensive but not for the reasons the band thinks.

With Turbonegro, it is largely the other way round. The band was formed as Turboneger in 1988, by which time the Norwegian word "neger" was not really considered to be offensive. However, the word was being deemed as increasingly offensive throughout the 90s, and Turboneger/Turbonegro is now a very offensive band name.

I used to get Treponem Pal mixed up with Trisomie 21, which is also pretty bad.

Red Hot Chili Pipers. One because the name is so similar that I've twice gone "holy shit they're playing here of all places?", two because they don't even play RHCP tunes

"terrorist hair"

(not real; just a fucking wrongass hilarious phrase i heard some racist piece of shit say decades ago. e.g. "look out for that guy, he got that terrorist hair!" have always held onto it as a potentially good band name.)
