i'll edit with more as i think of them...

oh, and band names i generally dislike are...

names that:
-utilize the frontmans name (ie the [enter frontman's name here] project, the dave mathews band {one t? two?})
-add a random, often nonsensical word with a random number (ie blink-182, matchbox 20)
-are long rambling combinations of fragments (ie clap your hands say yeah)
-miss-spellings (eminem)

This thread should really be in the Arts and Leisure section. I will leave it here for a couple more days, but then I will move it to A+L, so I can stifle discusssion and rule you all with an iron...oh wait. Uh, I mean, I'll leave it here a couple days so people can find it, but when it disappears from this subforum, just look for it in A+L. -Kenmod

It stands for Intelligent Dance Music, which is one of the worst names for a sub-genre ever, and probably why they shortened it to IDM :? . Anyway, more noteable names of the genre would be Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and Autechre. Which reminds me:

-Squarepusher
-Circlepuller

I thought the spelled it Reel.

Uh, I guess I should post a funny band name.... but I don't think any band names are really too great. I think Incubus is a cool name, cuz its some really old english word for monster. Kinda neat. I think The Postal Service is a good name. I think The All American Rejects is the worst band name ever created. Sorry little billy.
