Is my band name idea too inappropriate?

I have a rather large project I'm going to be marketing and distributing soon. The music is what I can only describe as Super Nintendo inspired psychedelic rock. I have everything written, but I have left the band name up in the air until now. So let me ask you this....

Is "Autism Prime" too far for a band name?

I could provide an explanation/half-baked excuse for it, but I want people to be unbiased. So, do you think it's a decent name? Or will I just be shooting myself in the foot when I can hardly advertise without getting turned down from radio stations, having posters torn down, and receiving e-mails from angry moms?

 

Unless you have Autism, I can't see how that's possibly a good name for a psychedelic band.

 

It's just a play on the name Optimus Prime. I don't really care about the name reflecting the genre, but I'd like it to be worth at least half a chuckle. Anyone, feel free to suggest something else.

 

Pretty sure it's a bad idea. It's not really funny and I can see where it would be kind of offensive.

 

Inappropriate: No
Good Band Name: No
Great Idea for a Robot Chicken skit: Absolutely Yes.

 

Yeah, I think that I even had to ask was probably a bad sign.

 

Well, the name fitting with the genre can be really important when it comes to finding fans. Frankly, I don't see psychedelic fans being interested in a name like that unless they also have a penchant for hardcore punk.

But I also don't think it's worth even the slightest chuckle. There's no joke to it - it's a meaningless pun.
Maybe if there was a picture to it it could be funny...

 

Haha okay, I think I've got the point. I'm not sure why, but the band name's been the hardest part for this. Here's some that I've had suggested from friends or pulled from strange places:

Care Free Bomb
The Post Coital Request
Chocolate Coated Painkillers
Gary Coleman's Circus Of The All-Stars
The Sinister Mr. Nice
Rampaging Shingles
Honeymoon Scuba Death*
Peanut Butter Genocide*
Sex By Surprise
Cannibal Supernovas
Bethany and Fat Bethany*
The Burning Sensation
Rooster Illusion
Jupitah*

*were the ones that stood out to me for some reason. (I guess I wasn't aiming for funny, just struggling for not shitty)

 

I like these two:
The Sinister Mr. Nice
Peanut Butter Genocide

 

Peanut Butter Genocide
Rooster Illusion ( This pun is better than the austism pun 'cause Illusion sounds like it has psychedelic connotations as well)

Just keep it going till you find something you like. Several it threw up for me:


Logical Scorpio And The Unwilling Madness

Electric Childhood

Misspent Anus

Gene Marmalade

Nemesis Duct

 

How about Diet Medusa

 

I don't know ,man. If the band that used to tour out of Eugene called 'Fuck God in the Face' can get by with it---I don't think it matters much.

 

people that dislike you or the band will make fun of you by saying that it sounds like everyone in the band has autism...or that the name is quite befitting to the tunes...i wouldnt do it

 

I really like 'chocolate coated painkillers' or 'honeymoon scuba death' as band names.

 

please don't sleep on autism prime, he would likely be quite frightened.

 

Name your band Clitoris Rex.

(I think it might already be taken......)

 

i dont really think the original idea is that bad, but since everyone else vetoed it...

bethany and fat bethany grabbed my attention for some reason, i have no idea why

 

go on stage and fuck a chicken. people will completely forgot about the name of the band that way.
