>Car Seat Headrest

Test icicles

As much as I love them, Animal Collective is a really silly name and I have never not gotten a weird look whenever I've mentioned their name to a pleb

!!!
I know that it's supposed to be pronounced chk chk chk, but that is really fucking stupid
>hey, have you heard the new chk chk chk album
>what? no, let me google it *googles chk chk chk*
>no man it's exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark
>oh ok

>Truck Stop Toilet

the beatles

The The

Holy fuck when I first heard of them (The album with the stupid monkey) I wanted to kill myself that that was their band name

>big star
I say this as someone who passionately loves them

shoe shoe
also sunn o))) is great wtf are you talking about

I've never liked Have a Nice Life. It's on the same tier as names like [verb] the [noun], and other names like that

Immediate bad taste Sunn O))) is a good name

I like the name Animal Collective, but I can understand

Sun

>Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin

I'm angry that this is an actual band name

geriogegege
Weezer
Preoccupations
BadBadNotGood
Gorrillaz
Butthole Surfers

Foetus and all of the permutations of it, like Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel and You've Got Foetus on Your Breath
I get JGT was trying to be super edgy, but it's hard getting people curious about his music.
Also a friend of mine insists on pronouncing it "Foe-eetus"

Badbadnotgood is a great name ya dingus

its "the gerogerigegege" you uncultured swine

Les Rallizes Denudes
This Heat
Elvis Depressedly
Ringo Deathstarr
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
La Roux
Cleaners From Venus
The Slits

the pains of being pure at heart is synonymous with stupid hipster band names to me

That's a great band name

>La Roux
What's wrong with this?

that and it's fun to say

Pup

Cat Rapes Dog

it's a pretty nice band name

I like the name Animal Collective, but what the fuck does it mean? Do they have a backstory for it?

>Anal Cunt

The The
The Band
Forever The Sickest Kids
Das Racist
The Goo Goo Dolls
Chumbawumba
We Butter The Bread With Butter
Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine
LMFAO
Natalie Portman's Shaved Head
The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza

Any number of deliberately offensive death metal/grindcore band names

Sun O))) is one of the best names ever and I don't even like them

A$AP Rocky

I don't think so, but I imagine it'd have something to do with Panda's name. Because it went like this.
>Avey Tare and Panda Bear
>Avey Tare, Panda Bear, and Geologist
>Campfire Songs
Then after that they just went by Animal Collective, and by then they had all four members. I guess they didn't want to stay as Campfire Songs for whatever reason, and just changed it to Animal Collective

agreed except for the the

that's pretty cheeky

As great as their music is...

iamamiwhoami

What the fuck were they thinking?

The actual reason is because the first label they released on was called Animal.

So, whenever more than one of them releases music, it's as the Animal Collective.

It has nothing to do with Panda, really.

Also, an "animal collective" is a word referring to a group of animals, such as "herd" or "pride". They didn't know it at the time, but it is an actual thing.

i actually pronounce it as three loud elongated grunts

got me some pretty weird looks in the record store when i asked for the new !!! album and refused to compromise the integrity of their name when asked to explain what i mean

Ah, that makes sense, though wasn't the label originally called Soccerstar records or something like that when it was just Panda's s/t album released under it

Empire Empire (I Was A Lonely Estate)
The World is a Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid to Die
!!!

The Killers

Most 2nd and 3rd wave post rock bands desu

more like the cringerigegege

How has no one mentioned Their They're There yet?

Funny. I've always read it as "Sun Ohhhh"

You actually are supposed to say "sun" and then turn on your fridge

daniel ate the sandwich

classic meme

The P4k review of Spirit, which was released and reviewed under the name Avey Tare and Panda Bear, refers to them as "the Animal collective" a solid 2 years before they called themselves that which is pretty funny to me

pretty sure that was edited

Yeah, though it was only formed by Panda and Deakin so they could release the album.

That was in 1999, when both of them were 20 and in colleges in Massachusetts, so they couldn't record with Avey and Geologist (who were at their respective colleges in NY).

Probably their logic was that each configuration of them was a different group under their own label, but all four of them on one release was the Animal Collective.

Grimes
Sun oh

It's just Sun, user

>kek'd
>dubs
Ayyyy

no fucking way really?

Why Das Racist?

This is common knowledge

>dr dog
I love dis band do desu

fuck me then

Unless they put it in there like some dumb text art emoji then it's not pronounced
>Sun
Is pronounced
>sun oh

Got me?

No

sun zero

This desu

It represents the literal sun

O))))
This is the star and the heat waves coming off it

It's literally text art

You pronounce it Sun

So it's sun O)) I get it but it is still the letter "O" it must be acknowledged it's in their name ':^)

...

This makes me sad :^(
I will cease saying sun o like a Weiner to people from now on

Some of my least favorite in my library:


Butthole Surfers
Harry Pussy
Heroin And Your Veins
Ogi feel the beat
Raccoo-Ooo-Oon
Rhythm Controll (stupid extra 'L' makes me upset)

Starfucker is as bad as you can get without sounding like you're joking.

only ones that bother me are the ones that are so pretencious they become retarded like and

This is incorrect.

Sunn O))) was originally an Earth cover band.

O is the Sun. The three parentheses represent the first three planets, the last of which is Earth.

The The is fine. It's very clearly a joke.

>odd future wolf gang kill them all

why is everyone ignoring the fact they just copied an amp logo?

yeah i get that it's a joke but come on man, it's like those people that make EVERY single thing an ironic joke, it gets tiring

Because things can be multiple things.

ohh thanks for the info
that actually makes the name cooler imo

desu I always thought the symbol of it was pretty cool that they put in in their band name. A bitch for anyone to say/print though

come on

Let me ask you this, do you think The Band is a bad band name?

ok buddy

>Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum

it's ok i guess, it's not particularity good or bad

WAY better than !!! and The The though

Especially since its spelled "STRFKR"

Terrible

There pretty much is no difference in irony or pretension between The Band and The The.

You literally only dislike it because Microsoft Word keeps telling you you fucked up.

>Hates Sunn O)))'s name
>probably likes Suun

ok tho Preoccupations is such a shit name i'm so disappointed... i was hoping they'd do something else in the vein of Viet Cong but just more PC since that's what they were going for... idk like Infidel Castro or whatever, but anyways Preoccupations is waaayyy too lukewarm and PC ew and you're a punk band?

no, The Band sounds ok, The The sounds retarded

They both use the same type of irony, I get it, but one works and the other doesn't. Im just talking about how they sound here, not the meaning behind the name

"What are you listening to?" "The The" i mean

>butthole surfers
>not a great name
Shiggy doogy woo

No, it's equally retarded.

>What are you listening to
>The band
>What band?

Unknown Artist

The The annoys me because I can't pronounce "Th"s the proper way so whenever I get asked what I'm listening to I end up saying "Da Da" and I sound like a fuckbert.

the fact that this is real

I like that name. kinda tragic considering the level of success they deserved and didn't get

>Most 2nd and 3rd wave post rock bands desu
true. all cringey. also 2nd and 3rd wave post rock is itself cringey

>Got me?
shut the fuck up retard, pretending like you know something

its sun

this would kill me
