"Hello Saferide" ← Typical idiotic name. It's like they think they are so fucking cool for calling themselves that, but in reality, they are just fucking retarded. Pick a real band name.

Yeah, and you know what, fuck Panic! At The Disco. They sound like crap and their name is crappier than the way they sound!

I made a post saying 'Hm. like what?" that got deleted but it was a legitimate question just not phrased very well (or rather, phrased fine as a rhetoric device but not so usefully as a standalone message) - what I mean to ask is what do you consider a normal band name? Bands that have 'normal' names to you probably have strange names to your parents, and stranger still to your grandparents.
I remember when 'Blink 182' was an odd-sounding name, and I bet there was a time when 'Queen' or 'Pink Floyd' sounded really strange too. Bands always pick artsy names, and they always have. :-)

You not understanding a band's name does not make it idiotic. Many such titles are allusion, metaphors, and inside jokes related to the band's muse. You often find the meaning of a name by looking into the history of the people who use it, and gain new insight into the meaning of various lyrics as a result.

I wonder who was the first to have a band name that was not simply based on the name of the band leader or the name of where they played. I can think of Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five, though "five" is literal in terms of how many musicians there were I think. Then there is Bill Haley and his Comets, with "comets" being almost completely whimsical except for the fact that it is a reference to Halley's Comet.
