How to Name Anything Hipster-Related

Hey Kids, just a quick one before I call it a night...

I have had an ongoing thing with my friend Courtney about band names, and how she believes that having a long, drawn-out name or one that just doesn't seem to make much sense immediately gives them hipster cred. You know what I'm talking about... bands like:

- Margot & the Nuclear So-and-Sos
- Godspeed You! Black Emperor
- Les Savy Fav
- The Airborne Toxic Event
- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
- Does It Offend You, Yeah?

(Yes, hipster mafia, I realize that the last two are references to a book and a movie, respectively. thankyouverymuch)

So you can really have some fun with your friends while you're sitting around killing time, or if you find you want to get a way to get your creative juices flowing, just start rambling some off. I'll get you started, and if you want, you can visit http://www.bandnamemaker.com/ for more fun times. A few starter ideas to get the creative juices flowing:

- Unicorn Warhammer (this was the name of a softball team for a few friends of mine... we won't talk about their logo)
- Alice in Wonderbra (alas, the ska band I never formed)
- The Girl in the Horn-Rimmed Glasses
- Nintendo Power Generation (though I'm sure this might raise some copyright issues)
- Horseshoe Crab Nebula


If you've got one (or several) hit it up in the comment section - I might talk a band into changing names, or you might be credited with naming the band, book, or anything else of someone you don't even know!

Have a good night, folks!
