Jimmy Eat World should be part of the conversation due to their acronym.
Who ever called them J.E.W.? Or when did they ever use that acronym themselves?
Perhaps tried to and then realised
Good old Xavleg
That’s the one i was thinking of - for anybody who hasn’t heard of them: that’s not the band name. That’s the acronym of the band name. Each one of those letters belongs to a word
The band öOoOoOoOoOo is a bit unwieldy.
Supposedly pronounced as “caterpillar” in whatever language you prefer.
Incorrect. It’s understandable because we all make mistakes. But the assignment was “worst band name ever”, not “best band name ever”. When you’re older you’ll understand why he did it
What is that? Seen it on someone’s wall near me too
Prince had a legal fight with his record label over ownership of his music. As a protest, he changed his artist name from “Prince” to this symbol.
And had floppy discs with the character code sent out to all the music magazines so they could print it. As Charlie Murphy put it, dude could ball.
Prince, formerly known as “The Artist Formerly Known As Prince” (this symbol), formerly known as Prince.
Imagine Dragons
No, Imagine Dragons is kind of cool… if you believe them when they say it’s not their real band name. They originally came up with a phrase that meant something special to all of them, but they didn’t think it would work as a band name, so they anagrammed it into Imagine Dragons (I assume some letters were reused or left off somehow). So there’s this big mystery over what their real name is.
And that kind of plays into some dragon lore where if you know a dragon’s true name, you have control over it. You don’t know Imagine Dragons’ true name — no one does. Perfectly acceptable if you think a band having a secret name is lame. They’ve said at some point they may reveal it, but they’re afraid people will be disappointing, because as they originally said, it wouldn’t make for a cool name.
I already disliked them, you didn’t need to make them even more unlikeable
if you know a dragon’s true name, you have control over it.
I thought that was Devils??
It’s pretty common across a lot of fantasy creatures tbh.
Though it’s often True Name as in a fantasy idea that everyone and everything has a secret name that even they don’t know, one that the universe gave them. Rather than just knowing their given name.
Another common thing is that dragons speak True Speech, a magical language that’s understood by every living creature with a brain
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. Such a pain in the arse when you have to refer to them.
Do you just say “seven pigs” or “Pigs 7”? Or do you literally say “pigs” seven times?
Are there seven of them?
(Looked it up, there are five of them and they abbreviate it to “Pigs x7”.)
