Florida-Georgia Line….maybe the name isn't the worst, just the music?

Butthole Surfers
There is a FB pic of me with a friend going to see them in 88 or 89.

I love that band

I also got in trouble for allowing a pic of a kid wearing a Butthole Surfers t-shirt in the 1989 yearbook

Weird fun fact but my Dad went to high school with Gibby Haynes and said he used to play basketball with and against him and that he was the worst ever at hoops.

My contribution is Insane Clown Posse.

not just a terrible name but also worst music sub-genre of the 90s.


I'm not going to just sit back and let you besmirch the late 90s swing revival.

Why would ICP be bad name? I don't care for their music, but the name is pretty apt.

Ezra ... they must've been so bad they inspired a rival group to troll them with their band name.

This and Panic At The Disco are just stupid.

Especially because it's technically "Panic! At the Disco" and any band with weird punctuation is dumb (see, e.g. "Portugal. The Man" , "The Go! Team", "Godspeed You! Black Emperor")

If you put aside the hits and the legends and the impact on music.... the name of arguably the most influential band in the history of popular music is a bad dad joke. The Beatles. Get it?? Cause it sounds like beetles, but it's beat as in they can keep a beat with their music.

N'Sync is a stupid name. At least The Beatles is a pun.

For some reason, the name "Dishwalla" always bugged me.

"Bowling for Soup" is the name of a garage band full of 50 year old dads from the neighborhood.

"The Black Eyed Peas" isn't a bad name in and of itself, but it's an awful name for that band and their act (which also features the dumbest name of a musician in "will.i.am.")

The rap game gave us "Wacka Flocka Flame" which is about as bad as it gets. It sounds like it came from a bad episode of The Muppets where someone hit fozzy bear with a molotov cocktail.

So this is mostly unrelated, but I always wonder whether they knew this when they came up with that name…

Florida was a colony (2 colonies actually), but they stayed loyal to the crown during the war. After the war, the land was ceded back to Spain, so Florida and Georgia were actually an international boundary for almost 40 years.

Side note, Nova Scotia was a colony too and stayed loyal. We never got them back.

ACKshually, the full name is "The Presidents of the United States of America," which indeed is terrible. Which I think was fully intentional, playing on the self deprecating nature of the band.

If you think about it "Pearl Jam" is a pretty bad name.
Let's go, Brandon!

Agree with all these so far

Potential best band name?
