HOW ABOUT
WDKHTTWUCFTSOEFWIASATIWTSOASOAPN

AN ACRONYM FOR
"WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO TYPE WITHOUT USING CAPS FOR THE START OF EVERY FUCKING WORD IN A SENTENCE AS THOUGH IT WERE THE START OF A SENTENCE OR A PROPER NOUN"?

HOW ABOUT THAT?

I THINK IT WOULD BE SUITING FOR A SHITTY BAND MADE BY 14 YEAR OLDS WITH NO APPARENT EXPERIENCE OR AMBITION EXCEPT TO BE COOL EMO-INDIE-SCENE KIDS!!!

I do not understand why people ask this board for this sort of advice/suggestions.
I also don't understand the generation claim to labels.
indie emo?
what the fuck does that mean?

don' worry about the band name, just worry about making music that is worth a good god damn.

How about Emo and the Retards?

hmm?

and you can call the first album 'Nobody likes it when you try too hard'

Note SomethingAngsty's point about using capitals at the start of every word, there is no excuse for blatant disregard for the English language.

SomethingAngsty, heed your own advice. Turn your caps lock off, just for five minutes. You're annoyed, we get it. Let your words do the talking, not the fact they are more in your face than a drunk exhibitionist.

SINCE "IGNORAMUS MONKEY ANUS" WAS TAKEN BY SOME DUDES WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, THERE REALLY ISN'T ANY REASON TO START A BAND

use a day of the week in there somewhere

or the name of a kitchen appliance

shit, make references to interplanetary travel

a few latin words are pretty good

or references to early 20th-century literature, bonus points if the author ultimately comitted suicide, bonus BONUS points if the author YOU KNOW fell slightly short of the heterosexual mark

ummm the first word should DEFINITELY be a gerund form of a noun

sea animals are good

THAT'S ALL I HAVE

HOLY SHIT! I have the best idea ever!
How about rather then worrying about a band name you practice. And sound good. Learn your instruments. Perfect the method and principals of music from as many angles as possible to get a better grasp of the process it takes to make a song. Then do it all over again until you can do it live infront of people. Get so good at that until you can craete an engery in the audience. You should be worrying about that instead of names.
Oh wait
"the taco shits"
that's an AWESOME name.

For your shitty screamo band: If I Was An Argonaut
For your shitty "indie" band: Highschool For Girls
For your shtity "Emo" band: Letter To Prosperity
For your shitty Punk band: Rock Hard Lymph Nodes
For your shitty 'alt' band: Ampfield

I breathe this shit

The shitty thing about that name though is that The Strokes used to play secret shows.
