That association is made after you've listened to those bands and gotten used to how they sound while knowing what their name is though, generally. Korn comes to mind. If you heard Korn and never knew their name and someone gave you a list of names with Korn mixed in there, you'd never guess that was their name, but after you've associated it with them, then it totally makes sense to your brain.

I don't understand your hate for Audioslave. Like a Stone is one of the best popular songs of that era. The name is dated but it's definitely a time capsule of the time it was made. Like a Stone also just passed 1 billion views on KZbin a couple days ago which made me super happy.

[@leser1music]

If Limp Bizkit was an Australian band, they would have been called Soggy Sao

[@BARTOSZ-xj8ek]

From Wikipedia: The band's name came from a crayon drawing made after an incident between Linton's younger brothers, Jim and Ed Linton, who fought frequently. Jim usually won, but Ed sought revenge by drawing a picture of Jim shoving the Earth into his mouth; the picture bore the caption "Jimmy eat world" so not from Jim Adkins.

[@CEO_FADeD]

It's ok, Finn doesn't actually care about facts. Like his explanation of the LimpBizkit name.... His story was ok, but that frathouse activity is supposedly known as "The Blue Waffle". He just says anything to get more views. He told everyone that with a smile, knowing people would just think he's joking. It works for him.

The Devil Wears Prada is named after the book that the movie is based off of. In fact they formed in a year before the movie came out, but broke out shortly after.

Agreed, I think XIII has both songs that still hold up pretty well and songs that don't, Sun Doesn't Rise being one of the worse ones. For anyone new to Mushroomhead I recommend starting with either the XX album which was their major label debut and basically a greatest hits album containing remastered versions of tracks off their 3 self produced albums, or just start with self produced albums like Superbuick or M3. The band today in my opinion is nowhere near as good as it was in the early days with all the lineup changes over the years

One of my favourites is jawbreaker. Their music is great but the name kinda sounds like it should have been for a beatdown band. One of the dumbest naming conventions that’s I also kinda love is the sports themed emo/pop punk band names. American football, yellow card, and title fight. The trend probably peaked around 2014 with bands like modern baseball, free throw and I kid you not THREE different bands named: sport, sports., and remembering sports.

I feel like the acacia strain, emmure, terror, and oddly enough turnstile all belong in the good name good music corner

[@Matt-yj1lz]

Fun fact: emmure is a form of torture where they put a person in a cage and slam them from wall to wall over and over again

Arguments could be made both ways as to whether Emmure are good

Listen to more Mushroomhead deep cuts off their first through third albums. A lot to appreciate there creatively and musically

No shit ST thru m3 is so dope. Then listen to (216) and State of Conviction

Finn making a case for Body Count being a bad band; gives an example off of their very first record, rather than playing something off of their last 3. 100% completely different genres. Finn, you Could maybe make a case for their newer era sound being bad as well, as music is subjective, but Tbf most people who like Body Count in 2022 is talking about one of their last few records.
